Well it seems my TIVO DVR needs a new hard drive. It's and older HD unit, but I have lifetime subscription on the service so I'm keeping it going even if it is a bit outdated.

At long last my first day on downhill skis this winter 'season'. Our local (southern Oregon) ski mountain is Mt. Ashland - and its south side offers generally beautiful views of a mountainous part of northern California, which borders Oregon. I took this from the edge of the Mt. A parking lot, before putting my skis on.

I'm posting a color version of this in today's outtakes. For those curious what the POV looked like once I got my skis on, I'm posting that in todays Day 230 of the ongoing Day-to-Day Challenge thread.

Quick snap and then play with the shadow slider for 45 minutes.

Steve, I'd say whatever you did with the shadow slider... it was worth it.
This is really nice.

I haven't felt inclined to leave my bedroom today. Outside is uninviting - cold, windy and unappealing. The current stay at home order allows me to go out to exercise, and probably I should, but for today I'm content to just sit still. I'm wrapped up in my blanket enjoying the Accidentally Wes Anderson book that I got for Christmas with Tintin. I think if he could speak he would tell me to try this photo again so he's more in focus but I think I might just go run a bath instead.

It's good to see TinTin up and about again, especially in front of that cool Fotoautomatica booth - and for my taste, he has just the right amount of focus I'm also curious about how you are liking the book... would you recommend it?

Wes Anderson makes some of the coolest movies. Offbeat, esoteric and very entertaining. I would like to know how you feel about that book too.

Didn't do much today so I thought I'd take a quick snap of me and my best buddy taking in Da Game...

well, a game any way, the one we actually cared about was the early one and we were having too much fun to play with the camera!

We live in 4 miles radius from the very center of out capital city, you know

There’s something about the images from those Fuji cameras, when shot at night at high iso, it’s really effective, I love the atmosphere rendered. Must be that sensor nobody likes.

Some sensors definitely handle nighttime and low light in a more organic way. I'm finding the Sigma KP does that too.

I had no good ideas yesterday, so my "editing setup" for this challenge was all I had to share.

Pleasant bokeh working well to render 3D.
