extra long afternoon shadows, as the poplar trees’ shadows reach across the blown snow.

I got the house to myself for a couple of hours this afternoon, so I treated myself to half an hour of play time without headphones, cranked. I’m sure the neighbours weren’t impressed.

we installed a new subfloor in a kitchen this afternoon, before hanging a set of new cupboards. it’s going to look fantastic when it’s all done. then, I went home to my old, cheap kitchen…

This great textured ceiling is not long for this world. It’ll be stripped out and replaced with something else as part of the renovation.

not quite the water alien from The Abyss. tried experimenting with lighting to see if I could capture a water droplet. the angles and composition are all wrong, but I got some ideas to try next time…

my old handheld General Electric Exposure Meter Type PR-1, circa 1951. It still works perfectly, although it doesn’t do well in very low light situations.

It’s really just a slide ruler built around a light meter. You can set different ASA values (or frames per second if shooting (video) film)), then look up corresponding values for aperture and shutter speed to set the camera for proper exposure. It often does a better job of picking exposure combinations than the exposure meter built into my 60-year-newer Canon XT.

there was another spot where my shadow was almost a block long, due to a hill leading down away from the sunrise.
