At this point I was planning to call it quits for the day, but a headlight for the next inbound Amtrak popped up to the west on M2. Looking at the crossovers (note the switches in the foreground) I was sure that they were going to switch over to M3, but the dispatcher pulled a fast one and sent them over to M1 instead!

Fool + Moon = This shot!
This is a combination of two shots;
The full moon plus me acting like a fool, resulting in ......me acting like a fool!
I took a seperate shot of the full moon - adjusted exposure bias, f stop and shutter speed to get the best detail.
Then I took another shot of me and used the image overlay in the D90 to combine the two.
It took several "fool" shots to get the right position -- I'm sure that amused my neighbors!
This is a really interesting pedal. It's actually two complete circuits in one pedal. Designed to yield Neil Young-style sounds, but it can cover quite a bit of ground.
OK, so this is how you set it up. It's not like most pedals, so a short tutorial is probably in order. There are two circuits here; a Tube Screamer-style overdrive and a silicon fuzz pedal. The way I set this up is by turning the fuzz ("Si") all the way down first. Now, you have an overdrive pedal. Turn it up until you get about the level of dirt you're looking for. Now, there's a voltage sag adjustment, which has a lightning bolt marking it. This power-dimming control only influences the overdrive. So back down the power until the sag is where you like it. There's a point where the overdrive will start to sputter and spit, which is the, "Neil Threshold," but you can get a lot of different kinds of tones by starving the overdrive. Now that you've got the overdrive set up, crank up the fuzz control until you've got as much fuzz as you want to hear. That's it! That's all there is to it!
Take my photo off the wall
If it just won't sing for you
'Cause all that's left has gone away
And there's nothing there for you to prove
Oh, look what you've done
You've made a fool of everyone
Oh well, it seems like such fun
Until you lose what you had won
Give me back my point of view
'Cause I just can't think for you
I can hardly hear you say
What should I do, well you choose
