The other entry had the comment in the image. Mine needed the comment external to the image, to put it in context. The other entry was no less insulting toward those of us who disagree with the opinion that it expressed, than mine was toward those who disagree with my opinion. No rational...

I have to cry “Foul!” here. Comments included with my entry were censored, because they expressed an opinion which @hark apparently finds disagreeable. These comments were necessary to put my image in context, and without them, my entry's meaning was destroyed. Another entry, expressing...

I never entered this one, but I had an idea in mind. I'll wear a mask where it's required, but I am not nearly stupid enough to believe that a mask with gaps that are typically around 50 microns wide will really offer any protection at all against a virus that ranges in size from 0.05 to 0.2...

Re: Microsoft ICE It turns out that ICE, as currently installed on my system, shows these artifacts when the results are previewed, but not in the final output. I'm pretty sure that at some point in the past, it was producing final output containing these artifacts as well. After my rebuild...

Entry #2 — A Monster Under My Bed; a Monster that is clever enough to fulfill both of the theme elements for this month.

A 1969 Falcon station wagon. It was a hand-me-down from my parents. It was the very first car that they bought brand-new, as opposed to used. At the age of six, I accompanied them on some of the car-shopping excursions in early 1969, including the one in which they finally bought this one...

My beautiful wife, @Seanette…

When I want to do that with my D3200, using the lens that came with it, what I do after getting the lens to focus is, on the camera, to set the focus mode to manual, but leave the focus mode switch on the lens set to auto. This way, the lens stays locked where it is focused, only allowing...

This was taken using my ancient (c. late 1960s to early 1970s) Vivitar ƒ/3.8 85-205mm zoom lens, which has a sort of distortion at larger aperture settings that I think tends to give a “dreamy” quality to the images. I don't know what the aperture setting was for this particular shot, but...

I had set out to photograph a different spider, that I spotted as I was coming home from Church today. I think it was an immature Latrodectus Hesperus, like the one in my last post, but much, much smaller. After changing out of my suit, I set my camera up for close macro shots, and came out to...

An immature Latrodectus Hesperus, or Western Black Widow.
