\"Blue
It’s funny – just a couple of days ago, I realized that I hadn’t posted anything since the previous On This Date post, and was worried about that. Guess I filled in the gap…<\/p>\n

Anyway, our first entry is from 2006, one of the few trips that I’ve taken to the Blue Ridge Mountains. This time, I was playing with infra-red photography with the Canon Pro-90. It didn’t originally look like this, however;<\/strong> the in-camera effect is monochrome in the faintly purplish range, and much lower contrast, so this has been altered, playing with the color registers. I kinda like it.<\/p>\n

By the way, see that shadow on the road? That’s a car passing during the one-second exposure necessary for infra-red. If you look even closer, right at the height of the road’s edge, you’ll see that it had its running lights on. Such composition!<\/p>\n

Following, we have another trivial curiosity. All three of the images below were back-to-back in the spreadsheet that I created for this:<\/strong> 2008, 2012, and 2013, all from the Arthropods folders – just, not the same folder, because I have over 22,000 digital arthropod images. But still sequential when you start with the month and day…<\/p>\n

\"trio
Isn’t that veird?<\/em><\/p>\n

I must also note that 2012 was easily the most productive when it came to arthropod images, because I amassed 6,693 for that year alone – and those are the keepers. Nary a bug in North Carolina went unphotographed…<\/p>\n

Finally, we have an entry from just last year, which allows me to pin down exact dates of last year’s events, since I took this while my brother and I were doing a brief outing before putting him on a plane back up to New York.<\/p>\n

\"great
I’d done a vacation trip to Ohio and New York, and driven back down with my brother to enlist his help in painting the living room\/stairs\/upstairs hallway – due to the curious design of this house, they’re all contiguous, so it was a major job involving high walls and vaulted ceilings. The Girlfriend still<\/em> enthuses over the improvement, so we’re good.<\/p>\n

Oh, the pic? Yeah, it’s a great egret (Ardea alba<\/em>) in a tree overhead, letting me get a lot of cool frames, among them this one<\/a>. The birds are simply falling over themselves to have their pictures taken by me. Now, if I could only get them to think about the clutter, and perch in better locations…<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
