An Eastward #50 cruises alongside a newly germinated corn crop which will hopefully fill these grain hoppers next season. The train is about to cross the Belvidere Blacktop at milepost 65, a mile East of Colvin Park, IL on May 16, 1992.

Technically I've found that moving Zone 6 as Sony sensors record it and creating an input correction curve post-demosaic that lowers it to Zone 5 sets the kind of deep tones I'm looking for.
As a side note: Sony sensors are very very quiet in the shadow regions. There is so much usable information deep into the -EV range.
When "testers" and commenters across the internet make claims about dynamic range I see what they report to be 1 to 2 stops narrower dynamic range than what I see. The difference is that I rise the mid-tones in my Digital Zone System luminosity curves to match 0EV to Zone 5, which, it turns out, usefully raises the shadows down to 020202hex - where I take things to be pure black (I can't see any difference between 000000hex and 0202020hex on my displays).
My Sony A7 can record 14.5EV to 15EV of usable f-stop range. Yes. It's true. Same with an A6300 that I have. The A6000, NEX-7, NEX-5T, and A5000 all record just about 14EV dynamic range.
The A7RII I recently picked up looks like it's good for between 14EV and 14.5EV. This surprised me as I thought backside illumination might set a more solid base noise level. Perhaps it's all those pixels or the way they set the analog to digital converters?
In any event, I would really like to try a Sony A7S (original model) to see how it does. Anyone have one and have a few minutes to record some RAW data for me? Or loan me for 10 minutes so I could run my input correction curve calculations? These cameras are getting cheap enough that I might even be able to buy a used copy myself. I'll be keeping my eyes peeled for one.
This kid is SO obsessed with the camera and the camera remote. It's hard to take the pictures I *want* to take of her, because the second I get the camera out, she stops doing whatever cute thing she was doing, and comes over to try to grab the camera. Oh well!
To the right look at the layer of back fat. Very porky flavor. Brandon likes to leave the skin and fat on these roasts. Gives a crackling skin and bastes the meat.
So I have a bit of an informal tradition of testing new gear out on my pets. The new gear used here is the 85mm 1.8.
Also, it was about time I took some more shots of Tsura now that she's 3 1/2 months old.
continuing with the heavy dew theme, It was interesting all the different patterns of dew on the grass and weeds

The last 2 times (over a couple of months) that I went by Clarendon Falls there was no water whatsoever going over the falls. At those times, falls nearby had plenty of water. Within 24 hours this area has had 1.5 inches of water. The ground walking down to the falls was soaked! There was a little water here, but nowhere near as much as could be expected. I can't figure it out! Someone the creek must have been partially diverted.
Maybe next time I will ask the people in the gas station just up the road what the deal is here.

The work continues opposite where I live. The roofing has been completed on the main terrace and so the top layer of scaffolding has been removed. Wooden cladding has been added around the second floor and gable ends. Over the last few days the emphasis seems to be on getting a show house ready - there is even a sign ready to go on display and the front brick extension for that one has been completed. (That's the house with the blinds and curtains)

Oh my! What a lame ending to Hopper's career! You all know Sergeant Hopper, don't you? He was Herbert Lom to Laser's Peter Sellers.
Sure Hopper started off as a genial friend, philosopher and coach. But Laser could turn a gentle old grandmother to a teeth-gnashing terror. Hopper did his best to keep his cool. But how long can one remain sane as a trainer with Laser as his ward? Major Mantis Lee is an exception of course. The long and short of it (I was just looking at his legs) was that Sergeant became hopping mad.
He was baying for Laser's blood. Sent Laser on a sure-death mission. Sent assasins after him. He did everything and more of what Chief Inspector Herbert Lom did to Inspector Clouseau. But then Laser had an author-backed role. Lady Luck rides with him. Hopper was at his wit's end.
That is when he discovered spirituality. A wonderful new world opened wide in front of him. 'What am in this for? What is the purpose of all this? Who am I trying to protect? Why am I fighting this silly war? I didn't elect to vote for this President.
'Look at all those spiritual gurus. What inspiring lives they lead. So tranquil. So detached. No trace of materialism. They may have their Rolls and Rolexes. But totally untouched by them. They have found the real secret of happy life.'
So went Hopper's line of thought. He discovered the magical blend of western hedonism with an eastern spin. What an appeal it can have! You can be a monk who sells a ferrari and gets gifted with a few. You just write a few books; just make sure it is dumbed down enough to appeal to many. Make a few Tv appearances. Growing a beard is optional. Training seminars are always a sure hit. Especially when you go out of your country. Your name shines more in foreign shores.
So my gentle readers, here is Hopper lounging around in the lap of luxury, wondering what to title his next best seller.
Any suggestions?
You first met Laserfly here. Witness all his antics and meet all his cronies, here.
Local theatre producers had a provocative message for the Colorado’s teaming talent pool at a specially called forum last week: “Get to class.”
Representatives from theatre companies large and small gathered at Cap City on Jan. 12 to light a fire under the creative community.
“We’re good,” said longtime BDT Stage Artistic Director Michael J. Duran. “But good is not good enough.”
