More practice on the east side of the moraine

 Did some more practice with the equipment. On a bright stone on the softer slope of the terminal moraine, -on the east side of the lake. A few quick notes; I like using the swing arm as opposed toe the tripod head to get several photos of the rocks. Both really.  The helios looks great.  It was an overcast day, but the rock was in a clearing, beneath the sky.  We'll see.  I also found the path to the greater forest and trail system, Cranberry Mountain, etc, 

waking up earlier

at the end of the day, I'm going to have to start my day earlier in the morning, four photography health exercise etc. when I miss exercise days I don't feel good, and the camper is small. clothes on the floor reduce my exercising, which is what happened this morning. no exercise no nasal rinse, anyway I got that boom in and it looks good I need an adapter but it seems as though it may work at least temporarily I want to check the weight, how it is with weight.

part of the problem with getting up early is that it's so cold in the camper.

aperture work

 1/13/24

 I took some pictures around the pond today.  I hiked the around the south shore, up the mountain, and over the lateral moraine, then down through the swamp, over the north shore, then down the other moraine.  I cast the fishing line a few times on Addison rd.  Just mainly to get some data.  I may get another reel.  Feels like this one gets stuck.

I got some more info on my equipment needs.  If I’m going to be on the side of a mountain, with my lets spread, and in a position I want to know that my equipment is fast enough, and fits my other needs.  My distance from the subject in those cases, is close.  I want to be able to set up a tripod, and use the pan bar to get the images.

I’m learning to follow the fractures, to get a unit of language a morpheme, as I am with the striae morphemes.  Morphology is the study of word structure syntax is the study of sentence structure.

Anyway, with careful aperture  work to develop the contours of the face of the rock,  one can follow the fractures for interesting and pretty patterns.

Nevertheless, whether it’s uploading to a private folder, or using a flash drive, or both, I’ve got to map the workflow for these photographs. I’m thinking a lot of photography.

I’ve spent significant time looking at equipment.  You have to do the activity in order to know what tools you’ll need, in addition to reading up on the activity.  Fishing today was also helpful in that regard.  

stitching programs

something else occurs to me; it's the veracity of my stitching program.  mmf-3, 20, or 25.  Why not the whole image photographed, and cropped with one shot? I can change contours and use multiple perspective, still I need more practice with the stitching programs. 

shared folder to work on photos

I'm going to have to find some way to build a shared folder between the two computers for the composing of these photographs printing exposing etc because I am working on the laptop in the camper, and on the desktop at the studio. I guess I can temporarily work on files the only files which would update automatically would be stuff in the drive the Google drive. so I could store files in the Google drive temporarily, then download them

A wide prime

 Spent the day doing research,  clogging up the computer. I found the lens I'm looking for to work with the Laurentide series. It's really a long time purchase.  A wide prime. Prices for these lens seem to be rising.  I'im going to do some research with focal lengths tomorrow using the zoom.  

Additional equipment

I thought I'd put much of the Laurentide sheet info in this journal, but I need to transpose that from the text notes on the Mac Pro.  The purpose is so that I'm not looking for interesting copy to put on the website.

Anyway, I'm looking at equipment to photograph nature, stones in particular.  I'm doing hand held drafts to see how the demands on positioning.  They're intense as I'd imagine. I bought a boom pole and clamp.  I want to manage the weight, and keep it from being an obstacle.

Also looking at lensing.  I like the performance of my Russian wide lens, the yenitsa I believe.  I want to see what I would do with a wide m4/3
