Found 10 rolls old print and slide film. Bought batteries to fire up several old 35mm cameras. Yashica SLR, Pentax SLR, Chinon SLR and Olympus point & shoot all working with new batteries. Adapting old lens to digital too. No waste.

BTDT. Daughter lived there for 2 yrs, sister for 8 yrs. Friends on Long Island for 2 decades. Saw a celeb almost every trip to THE city.

Correction racist and nazi. He wants to insult black, any race and eliminate anyone who has any compassion or common sense. And its also about the money, always is.
Don’t ask why Donald Trump just ended free entry to our national parks on MLK Day and Juneteenth. He’s been a known racist most of his life. Instead ask, has he ever hiked, camped or biked in a national park? What interest did he have in this issue except insulting Black people?

A hike in the woods not far from our house a while ago. Took my small camera. The deer followed me for 10 minutes. Experimented with the Fisheye lens.

At the waterfall hike Friday the boardwalk section had a lock of love section. It was pretty large but I only took two pictures.
I used it to burn off breakfast before lunch and more Thanksgiving leftovers.
Pentax Q7 , standard zoom at 18mm (84mm equiv)

Jeremiah Smith and Carnell Tate both made the trip to Michigan as the expectation remains that both of Ohio State’s star wide receivers will return from injury for The Game.

I've started trying vintage lenses on my Canon DSLR with adapters so I get good exposure. Here are two from a few months ago. The lens is a 1965 made Pentax 50mm 1.4f 8 element lens at about F4. The Canon thinks its wide open. Bought adapters for C, C/Y and M42 mounts.

Most people use a larger sensor camera like my Canon DSLR or a newer mirrorless with high MP count. These are however taken with a pocketable Pentax Q7 only 12mp. Great for hiking and #travel when you are concerned with weight or size but you want to take a variety of lenses.

There’s something very strange about Trumps whole persona. He needs to be loved but to get that he needs to be hated by the rest of the world who will never love him.

It’s an obsession for him. If you won’t love him he will hate you. What a sad existence.

The squirrels haven’t bothered our bird feeder lately. I found the reason today. Our oak trees are dropping acorns at an amazing rate. I’m betting on a cold winter ahead. Our gravel walks in our yard are acorn covered.

@flakefood.bsky.social Loved the lures post. Its in my blood. Me with my Mom (RIP) when I was about 10. I caught several of those. Dad had an seaside business and we fished almost every day. I should post more of my old fishing pictures. I have many.

Having lived in a fishing family I can appreciate this.

Pretty lights, blurry picture. Taken at night in the late 70s. Was from a moving ship in the Gulf of Mexico while calibrating our satellite navigation by knowing the position of the oil rig legs. Waiting on a better adapter for my duplicator.

Got a slide duplicator to adapt to the DSLR. Not all the correct pieces yet but close enough. My surf trip cohort Jeff on a wave at Blacks Beach, San Diego Oct 1978. Was up to 27' that day. Sorry but its not focused well yet.

I know its National take a Hike Day but I have obligations. May go hiking or running this week after I get family stuff done. I'll just post a picture from when I was hiking trails in Southern Ohio a few years ago. Top of a ridge.

Mound building culture in my state may go back 2300 yrs ago. Of the 70 burial mounds in the state I've seen about 8 of them. Found one on a hike that isn't mapped so I won't say where.
