Moon Shot (276/365)
Well, we’re back on the moon. After that afternoon’s handheld shot of the moon, I wanted to do more. Got the tripod out last night for this night shot. 400mm lens, 1.25x TC, MFT OM-1.

Blue Moon (273/365)
Just for an experiment, I put a 300mm lens on my Olympus OM-1 with a 1.4x teleconverter, walked outside, and hand-held a shot of the moon. Just crazy how well it turned out. The stabilization inside these cameras never ceases to amaze me.
A 300mm lens with a 1.4x converter is 420mm. On the Micro Four Thirds camera, the crop factor is 2x, so the 35mm-equivalent field of view is 840mm.

Silent Sunday (271/365)
Shot 20+ photos today with the iPhone and my Olympus, looking for today’s daily photo.
It’s funny, some shots you know will be alright, some shots you think will be great are just, meh. Others have hope, or you wouldn’t have even taken it, but they turn out fantastic. Today was like that. I didn’t have that much hope for this shot, but after processing, it turned out really nice.
Shot and processed entirely in the iPhone.

Espresso (247/365)
Good morning, 🌻 Today, we’re brewing Ladro’s renowned dark roast “Diablo.” To honor the darkly roasted beans, we’ll use a gentle profile this morning.
We’ll start with preinfusion water at 82°C. This ensures the puck is gently saturated for a few seconds before a gradual increase in pressure to 7.8 bar. By the end of extraction, we’ll reduce the water temperature to 72°C.
At peak pressure, we start extraction and we’ll slowly reduce the pressure to 5 bar over approximately 25-35 seconds, never wanting to over-extract from these beans that are fragile from a heavy roasting process, to achieve an extraction weight of 1:2.0.
- 18g puck
- 36g espresso
Now, take a sip. Enjoy the smooth, deeply dark flavor with hints of walnut, brown sugar, and bakers chocolate.
It’s going to be a good day. ☕️
