After the Rains, Desert Glory (280/365)

Auto-generated description: A sunlit desert landscape features cacti in the foreground with mountains and a clear blue sky in the background.

Today, after 10 hours of work, I now have a status block on the Home Page showing Current Year Posting Percentage, Current Streak, Longest Streak, Total photos on site, and Total Posts on site, ~~and under each post.~~ Hopefully, that inspires me not to break my streak. Inspiration comes from Florian’s superb photo blog, the best I’ve ever seen, kind of blog. If you haven’t seen it, please go gawk. 😍

Next goal will be to make a dedicated Stats Page with all sorts of data on it, should be fun!

Note: I’m not competent enough or skilled enough to do something like this on my own. Working with Hugo is way outside my comfort zone. All coding smarts to ChatGPT. I know, I know, there are a lot of LLM haters out there… I’m sorry, but this is what (for me) LLMs are for: helping me code, making my websites better. They don’t write any of my posts; that’s all me.

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)

Auto-generated description: A bright half-moon appears vividly against a clear blue sky.

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.

Round dials, baby…. from the archives today. This was the last flight for this bird, flew it to the bone-yard to be parted out and chopped up. I always feel sad about this process. This aircraft has moved hundreds of thousands of people all over the country safely and mostly on time. It was an honor to have flown its last flight.
