Barn? Texture? Why did I shoot this?

I'm not sure what drew me to this subject, but I suspect it was a combination of the Covid damndemic (I made that word up, but I think it fits the situation.) and the texture of the silos. For the life of me, I can't imagine how much work it took to find the stones, apply the mortar, and then cover the entire structure with plaster. It takes me a week to get up the energy to fill our bird feeders; these silos would have been unfinished when it came time for me to be planted.


Interesting. I wonder if those round-ish spots are the ends of logs used as beams. Did you have a chance to get around to the other side to see how access worked? BTW I suspect finding the stones wasn’t very difficult.

The National Academy of Sciences is 85% funded by the federal government which makes them an arm of the federal government.

NBC is mainstream media which is totally aligned with the liberal socialist agenda of the Democratic Party.


Since everyone who disagrees with your opinion is untrustworthy, I’ll leave you to it. Over and out.

Mask Harrassment
Actually,

Particularly the aspect of preventing an infected person from spreading the virus.

BTW I hate wearing a mask when I am not making sawdust, but I would hate worse offering the virus an opportunity to mutate.

And with Delta I DO wear N95, when I am indoors in public places; 3-layer surgical when outdoors in public.

You can't site one questionable story and make a blanket indictment. The fact is that other than N95 masks the cloth masks that people are wearing do nothing to protect from viral droplets.


Except they do.

Organic

Interesting conversation. Here in New Zealand, anything labelled 'organic' must have formal government certification. If its meat being sold as organic, the beast must have been born on land certified organic, I think for something like the previous 5 years. No chemical pesticides or fertilizers to have been used and there are similar criteria for the animals 'parents'.
Same applies to any crops, fruits etc.
And the fines for anything sold that doesnt comply are pretty high. High enough I think to make it not worthwhile getting caught.
Farmers markets are very popular, where the city folk get a chance to buy stuff fresh from the farm. One doesnt see much there sold as organic though. Its mainly sold in supermarkets and green grocers at a high price and usually looks damn ugly in my opinion.
As country people for quite awhile, we do miss our farm veg and eggs and homekill meat now that we are retired to the city.

Pretty much the same here (USA). United States Dept of Agriculture (USDA) has a food certification program with specified standards.

Bottom line, if they send me the "faster" card, I'll still be able to use it, it won't hurt. Correct?


It’s a bigger card so one question might be will your camera recognize it at all. Good luck.

"No, That's Not Possible"
It sometimes helps if you didn’t know others considered it impossible (or even very difficult) before you tried. Of course, there are the Darwin Awards, too.

Unfortunately, that seems to be a myth. When politicians change their minds, it's called "waffling." If you can't accept facts and make an intelligent decision based on them, you're in no position to make decisions. So many people simply reject facts. "Raining? No, it isn't raining. It's just very humid." We're doomed!


Seems that people apply this to scientists, too. “See . I can’t trust you. You changed your mind.” New data. New evidence. Who cares?

That is what was said after our tumultuous departure from Vietnam.

I add a corollary to that: people who double or triple their confirmation efforts when they receive information that confirms their opinion.

What is an Arsenal?
Assuming it can deliver, it’s probably not for wildlife photography based on the amount of analysis it performs (and the user choices that must still be made?). There is also the false premise that there is an optimum photo to be made using just the camera settings. All in all, it sounds too good to be true, which means ….

Why is this image soft?
For depth of field, the online calculators need distance to subject. And the focal length you were using. I’m not sure what the “105 mm” you provided is since it exceeds the lens range. I played around with different combinations of distance and focal length and you MIGHT have had a reasonable depth of field or you might have had something around an inch and a half, which would mean even a little camera motion could throw you off. We’re you using back- button focus or shutter-button focus? In the case of back-button, if the depth of field is tiny, a small motion toward or away from the flower could have been enough to soften the image. Good luck!

Or minimum focus distance as lyndacast suggests.

A Few Small Creatures
Great pix and an interesting capture - scaly breasted munia. Per Audubon “ Native to southern Asia, this small waxbill is a popular cagebird. Escapees from captivity have established wild populations in several parts of the world. The species is now widespread and common in coastal California, from San Jose to San Diego, and other local populations are established around Houston, Texas, at a few spots farther east along the Gulf Coast, and in southern Florida. Usually seen in flocks.”. A new bird to watch out for.
