As a follow up, I’ve updated an older Fujifilm Get Film Simulation shortcut to now include ACROS and Monochrome simulations. This has only been tested on JPEGs from an X100V. Get this not well tested iOS Shortcut version here.. For everyone else, enjoy a stuffing waffle using the Velvia film simulation.
There’s a thoughtful post on Fuji X Weekly. After spending several weeks with a X100V, I’m in agreement with the utility and power of Fujifilm Film Simulations. As a hobbyist, it is liberating embracing Fujifilm out-of-camera JPEGs. I barely need the RAW Power app.
Cooler weather = bread baking season. My partner made Sourdough specifically for stuffing. Excellent priorities.
Ethereal light shafts in a coastal forest (Prairie Creek Redwoods State Park in California). From 2015.
Perma-loc splice is an okay fix for drip tape punctured by fighting cats. Please keep your cats indoors. Cats are destructive of not only wildlife but also your neighbor’s stuff.
Of all the animals we see in our backyard, the western toad is our favorite. It was very loud tonight in the leaves. Just look at that foot!!
Hygge in the neighborhood. Hygge is part of today’s micro.blog challenge.
M6.9 earthquake in Alaska registered on my RaspberryShake.
There’s now a Thai restaurant where I live! Pretty decent for a small town.
Last night’s constellation of the moon, Venus, and street light at one of the bridges over I-5.
I wouldn’t feel safe flying in that biplane! Almost as bad as a helicopter.
Celebrated mom’s birthday today with chicken fried steak (one of her favorites)! A great day.
Albums queue syncing between my iOS devices is effing amazing. Start a queue of albums on my iPhone, then effortlessly transition play on iPad (and airplay to home speakers). Why Apple hasn’t done this with their Music app confounds me.
A Feijoa sellowiana of ours got very stressed this summer because of a clogged irrigation emitter. It is now flowering out of season. A nice surprise.
At just about Civil Twilight tonight.
Here’s our resident Western Toad that’s likely en route to the compost pile. And yes, that’s toad scat in front of the toad. The toad has a circuit to complete every night.
Spice in the form of home grown assorted peppers. Turned these fine frozen specimens into hot sauce last weekend.
Our street is nicely obscured from the front yard by cultivated native California plants. They rarely get watered but has been more frequent the past two summers. California buckwheat is showy now with its rust colors and white flowers.
I don’t consider this Fujifilm X100V a toy but it sure brings me a lot of joy. Most photos I’ve posted lately are from it. Except this one, of course.
Sharp looking (spotted bird?) grasshopper! It was resting in our California buckwheat.
A little bit of excitement at an over crossing today.
Our first backyard Spotted Towhee!
A majority onion tarte tartin. This tarte literally has the flavors of French Onion soup but this is so much better.
September 22, 2021: full moon after dark.
