Coincidentally the below was published recently. I know I’ve said it before, but The Third Man is my favorite movie-movie. https://www.theguardian.com/film/gallery/2019/sep/05/the-third-man-behind-the-scenes-film-noir-in-pictures

As an opposite to the Sigma above, love shooting with the m240, though AF would have certainly produced more keepers here. A couple shots from yesterday paired with the Voigtländer 50 f/1.5 Nokton. Basic edits in Capture One, Technical Pan (which I’m starting to really like) applied in Exposure, then tweaked in Snapseed for mobile.

I'm getting at that age (of sleep deprivation/planned obsolescence) that you need to repeat things. And thanks for the link, will read that one too. Also, this:

Another mini, and hopefully the last that I build (#5), this time for me. I accordingly did some things a bit differently... Headers and shunts instead of the 0R resistors... And as earlier threatened: MPSW thru-hole output transistors. A bit painful to do, but not so bad once I got going. Temps seem lower; 71°C is the highest I have measured so far. IIRC the PZTAs were often in the 80°C range. After casing it, etc. I'll report back. I have PZTAs so can go back to those if warranted.

Wow the first pic is so wonderfully abstract that I could not see the ball until the second shot

Dusty Oriented Ice Cream

Visited the music store... got a few discs I'd been wanting: Black Messiah – D'Angelo and the Vanguard Treasure – Cocteau Twins Beat My Distance – Anemone

Labor Day Weekend at Carpinteria, CA is an opportunity for some Sigma dp0/2 Quattro panoramas. Forgot how much I disliked the cameras handling and processing, but love the Foveon output. Also an emu at nearby Ostrichland, Fake Denmark, with the dp2Q processed with a Kodak Technical Pan sim in Alien Skin (recently renamed Exposure). Bonus: Hypno-E with a7III & Voigt 40 f/1.2 E and default C1 sim.

I’d like to thank Jacob for sending me his JLC Alligator strap he had for his Reverso, but didn’t use.
