I will recommend the kale tip the next time my wants starts cooking some! Then I will find another place to sleep that night.

I've been on a youtube binge lately watching videos of vocal instructors commenting on various music videos. For someone who appreciates music but hasn't had vocal training, it is interesting to watch the voice teachers reacting to these videos and commenting on their technique. (Search for 'The Vocalyst' on Youtube, for example. Lorna Shore's 'To the Hellfire' leaves her nearly speechless, as does the one with Mongolian throat singing.)
Anyway, that led me to discover Disturbed's cover of "The Sound of Silence", which takes this song in a somewhat different direction than the original. Not as 'heavy metal' as most of their work, it seems.

You should listen to to Pentatonix cover. IMO the only one better than the Disturbed cover.
I came frightfully close to spewing a drink of cranberry juice I had carelessly sipped while reading that joke.
Ahhh, bench seats!
I loved the cars with the gas tank cap behind the license plate. They would fill up and when they started moving gas would leak out behind them.
I also remember feeling outraged that it cost me $5 to fill my 20-gallon tank.
As I mentioned in two posts yesterday, Saturday we went to the Parade of 1000 Skirts, held every year in Las Tablas, in the Los Santos Province of Panama. It was a lot of fun, beautiful to watch and a photographic challenge of sorts. I think I shot 649 exposures. However, not all were in focus and some featured nothing more than someone's arm in front of my lens. I probably deleted about 150, but among the remaining shots there were many that showed the joy the people experienced. However, my personal favorite from this post is #6 (the two women shot from behind).
I hope you enjoy these additions to my prior posts.

Thanks. So you are west of El Valle. We were in Anton over the weekend with my wife's sister and brother-in-law.
I pushed send on the previous before I intended to, so here are a few more photos:

It was the annual Desfile De Las Mil Polleras (Parade of a Thousand Skirts) in Las Tablas, Los Santos, Panama. It was also hot! It was a photographic challenge, because many of the women were twirling to show off their skirts (these are all very traditional Panamanian skirts and accessories). Anyway, here are just a few samples:

This is an old photo, from almost exactly 10 years ago. I was framing a shot at lake level at Hallstatt when the swans started to fly. Sheer serendipity. I shot it in color, of course, but have always preferred it in B&W.

Are you recording RAW or jpeg (requires processing)? Make sure you do not have noise reduction on. I did that once and had a similar buffer issue. Is it a CF card or an XQD (much faster)?
I love it! Actually did LOL.
It seems you could try that and find out.
If you were to shoot the same scene twice, one shot underexposed and one overexposed, the resulting RAW file would be larger for the overexposed shot. Why? Because a histogram is logarithmic. Pixels at the right represent more data than pixels at the left. That is perhaps the best reason for shooting to the right in digital. More data means better quality post-production.
I also shot this one the other day. Same limitations with grain, etc. However, what caught my eye were circular ripples the man was creating as he worked.

The more I looked at the photo in my previous post, I began to wonder what it would look like with an Orton Effect applied.
