Shot while car is moving down our main street. Also, shooting just jpg (no RAW file). Set camera in alternate aspect ratio 16:9 (experimenting). I was pretty pleased with the outcome of this shotgun approach. Anyways, It is what it is :)

I still have the very first car I ever owned. How that is possible is somewhat of a miracle. Considering my childhood, my moves, my parent's moves and then also going through our own seven children.

The first car I ever purchased was a "Matchbox" car for 49¢ sometime in the mid fifties. Hard to believe, but it took me a long time to save up 49¢ back in the day, we never got an allowance. And I still have it! I'm pretty sure it's not still in the original color.

Since all the antique car shows in our area have been cancelled for this year, I'll have to settle for one of my own & I thought I'd share it with you.

Matchbox cars started in England by Lesney in 1953 with a scale of 1:64. At first they were all metal, including the wheels, and I have a few of those. I'm sure some of you still have some of those cars & trucks that you've collected over the years. The company was finally bought by Mattel (Hot Wheels) in 1997.

So, today some Matchbox cars. Trucks later. Hope you enjoy the memories.

When I think of "Shooting in Manual" I think of picking up my Nikon F, loading a roll of Velvia 100, grabbing my Luna Pro and going out to shoot.

What does "Shooting in Manual" mean in the digital world? Does that mean you turn off all auto functions, grab a light meter and make your expensive digital camera into a Nikon F?


WOW lotsa people really know stuff.
Ummmmm..... Set the little dial on your camera to the M (that'll do it).

Playing with art filters. Little camera with a big lens. My EM10 mark iii with a Nikon 28-105 macro capable f3.5-5.6 one Lighting was from primarily from my computer screen with an image file with some interesting colors and a small desk lamp. Then applied Pop Art and Instant film effects in post. Shot with my EM1 mark ii 17mm f1.8. I am not a big fan of the Art filters (occasionally use them), but never this unusual color cast from my lighting method. This is the first time applying the Instant Film effect (or is it an affect). You may add your insight or I will do the homework later. What ever it is they call it instant film... But based on what I see it is color specific to Potoroid's SX70 product (which was the first (garbage-less system, not peal off system). Also, not at all like The color from the Kodak or Fuji instant films. I worked for a while on the Kodak system and as a result became pretty familiar with the competitive products. My dad was a big fan of Polaroid's peel system I had one of those too (I still got prints). So I am sure it's SX70 color. It's ok, this is just part of my therapy process. THANX FOR BEING HERE :) enjoy the day.

This was taken inside a California poppy. I have run across a few of these all inside of a poppy. I am in Sacramento California along the American River. It looks like it might be some type of grasshopper or cricket, but the behavior is very slow moving like that of a stick insect, and it doesn't possess the robust hind legs of the regular grasshopper or katydid. The body was approximately 3/4 in long with antennae at least two times the length of the body. If any of you ento's out there know, let me know. I do request that you don't just throw out a guess. If you have a good idea of what it is, that is great. Thanks.

I also threw in a couple of shots of a native bee and leafhopper in the poppies as well. Couldn't believe all of the pollen on them. Enjoy

I hope that is the last! We just had three days of freezing temperatures, snow and ice.

The Kalm's St. Johnswort shrub is covered in ice, and the green leaves are Nodding wild onion. You can see a little frost damage on the onion leaves. The chipmunks are extremely tame here, but for some reason they don't like the 400mm lens and run for their lives when I point it at them. I can walk right up to within inches of them with a 50mm lens on the camera, no problem. But not the 400mm.

What!!!! NO TAYLOR???>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>RJM


Nope, no Taylor. I don't play much acoustic. I do have an acoustic preference for Ovation. Have played a couple of Martin's and certainly have looked long at some Taylor's.... Just not for me. Thanks for checking out my photos and taking the time to comment. Enjoy the day :)

Beaut set Frankie...some nice gear there...I played the drums for about 40 years until my spine got too bad...
One question if I might, most guitarists seem to prefer the Telecaster over the Stratocaster, is there a particular reason for this..
Cheers, Ron.


Is there a reason..... Good question that I don't have a direct answer for. I personally favor my tele over all others including my Strat. It just feels right and the tone just fits my playing style. Both my Tele and my Strat are American made (out of Corona CA). I have owned some Mex fenders and one made in Indonesia. The made in USA models hold a serious edge over the others. That said, Mexico makes some beautiful instruments. My biggest problems was with the neck radius. The Mex guitars pretty much all used the 7.5 inch radius. which for me did not allow me to set the action the way I like it. There are some hardware and pickup differences but those can be easily addressed/changed. Recently it seems Corona is allowing Mexico to build some necks with flatter radius (I personally prefer 9.5 inch neck radius) and the maple neck, so I am looking at a Mex Tele (deluxe) with 3 pup instead of the normal 2 with some tonal shifts that are kind of interesting. Don't really need it but prolly will be added to my collection pretty soon. I am 75 and have some of those same issues you had with Drums..... So I play a lot while sitting in my recliner :) anyways, just ROCK ON. thanks for having a look. Prolly more information than you wanted to know. Guitars or cameras, I am a cornucopia of useless information :)
