And this will be the last daily photo, for this round, anyway. I might, one day, do the 365 again, and, who knows, I might go crazy and just keep going (but I doubt it). This got quite a bit more post processing than is my usual, all due to an attempt to “expose to …

365.300 for RC Concepcion
Several weeks ago, RC Concepcion compared looking at people’s 365 projects to “watching a fat man do jumping jacks.” I took some offense to this, and (despite claims to the contrary) I believe it was meant to offend and discourage amateurs like myself. I’m sure this is all in my imagination: why would RC alienate …
365.298 aaarrrghhhh! My eyes! The goggles do nothing!
Focusing a reversed 50mm by rocking back and forth is especially difficult with gusty winds, though some of the problem can be overcome with higher shutter speeds (not that I did that here…).

The Light Pipe
I’ve been back on my homemade trail mix kick of late, and picked up a container of Sunsweet Plum Amazins* to add to the mix this week. The chopped-prune raisin-type things are tasty enough, and will add a nice bit of sweetness (plus some fiber and nutrients) to the trail mix, but what I was …
365.63 Pinkeh
I had designs on having some more multifun today, but I ended up liking this test shot the best… D7000 and Nikon 75-150mm f/3.5 E Series, Reversed, on 28mm of Extension Tubes (New!): ISO400 (forgot to reset it, again…), 1/200th, f/3.5, SB700 with its CTO filter installed at 1/16th power, about 18 inches away camera …
