Well decided against the whiskey, went with bourbon instead. Had a couple mint julep and a roasted artichoke with lime garlic aioli. Finished the afternoon with some imported prosciutto, fresh focaccia bread, and a caprice salad. Beer and cigar for after dinner.

This is west coast living Evan!

Oh, it was good!


Just got back from the photo lab, getting more prints done. Enjoying a latté before I have to fetch the little one from school.

I went with Bulleit for my julep. Good, well mannered bourbon that plays well either neat, on the rocks or mixed. Didn't want to go any higher than that for a cocktail, would have been a waste. I also considered Turkey 101, but it is just a little to harsh for a julep. Enjoyed a Romeo y Julietta, good old standard, enjoyable smoke.

It's gonna be hot this weekend, calling for 103° tomorrow and 101° today... it's gonna be a hot ride to work.

Good morning y'all.
Ya know , I was thinking about it and I do not think I have ever smoked a cigar. :eek: I will have to fix that.
Have a great weekend everyone!
 
Hey Daniel, I was noticing your pics you have been posting here and on facebook. You are shooting against a white piece of paper, correct? Notice how it comes out gray? Shoot in Program mode (P on the mode selector) and ad +0.3 or +0.7 exposure compensation until the background is white. It's the +/- button next to the shutter release on your camera. Press and hold while spinning the rear dial. This should also help the colors really pop on your anno stuff.

Your camera and most all cameras try to make scenes medium gray (18% gray actually) by adjusting bright backgrounds and foregrounds down to even out the scene. This also occurs with snow scenes and sometimes beach scenes.

Thanks Xander, I will try that! I was actually going back and forth between pics and lighting... was baffled! The brighter the light the darker the look with the whte. That makes sense and I can do that. Much appreciated! :cool:


Good morning guys!
 
Afternoon fellas!

Took off a couple hours early from work today. Took the kid, wife and girlfriend out to the mother in laws to go swimming and I get to shoot squirrels with the pellet gun. Enjoying this 103° heat.
