Lunch was Wendy's, because it seems like actual food and their chili is still great. However, my fast food experiences always kind of amaze me in that I get a 100% complete order about 1/3 of the time. Today I got a Single, chili instead of fries, and light lemonade with no ice. The damage:
- They gave me the fries anyway.
- No straw.
- Ice in the drink.
I ran an out-and-back over South Table again, and took a shorter route earlier, so it wouldn't be dark at the end.
Distance was 7.67 miles, moving time 1:21, elevation change 951 feet, average HR 132 (my MAF target is 131). Yeah, whatever. I'm a data junkie.
I snuck up on a cactus and caught it in bloom. The petals always remind me of artichoke hearts. Same idea: hurt your consumer so they'll walk on by the next time.
Awesome pic on the cactus - and another self-portrait of the "shady" man!!! My lunch spot unfortunately had two busloads of screaming kids drop in :-0
ReplyDeleteYou still liking that new Canon?
HappyTrails - Thanks. The running shot was taken in continuous mode hoping I'd get one that was interesting.
ReplyDeleteThe camera is great. Images quality is fantastic, and that's my main criterion.
I find it tough to get good macro shots but I have/had that problem on my other PowerShots too -- the AF doesn't work ideally with all subjects. I get fewer good macro shots with this one. BUT it has manual focus, so I can get it if I take the time.
Are you using RAW much or is it too much extra work?
ReplyDeleteHappyTrails - I use RAW+JPEG mode maybe 95% of the time (Windows XP apps like image preview can't display RAW, which is why I want a JPEG version). Because RAW is not processed at all, the detail level is easily double vs. JPEG, and of course you have about twice the dynamic range to work with.
ReplyDeleteI almost always adjust the images in Lightroom because I shoot underexposed (so I don't blow out the highlights), and to bring out detail in the darks.
