It was a rainy overcast day so I went to the downtown area and photographed the Southern Railway’s old passenger car, “The French Broad River”.  I love how the Acros film simulation makes fine are looking monochromes.  I deliberately cropped the SOUTHERN to keep it from being, essentially, a pan shot and knowing that with that many letters the viewer would figure it out!

 

Photography Post-Mortem:  X-T5 with the XF 90mm f 2 R L  WR lens shot at 1/900th of a second at f 5.6 ISO 1600.

Aging wood is amazing!  The effects of exposure to water and light make all the difference in how it shows it’s aging process. An old part barn building along the Cumberland Falls Highway is home to the Falls Road Custom Lumber Company.  I found a couple of images of the aging wood and and old truck that all seemed made to be shot together.

 

 

Photography Post-Mortem:  Both wood shots X-T5 with the XF 80mm f 2.8 R IS Macro lens set at F8 shot at 1/100th of a second @ISO 800.  Truck shot same lens at 1/320th of a second and f 5.6 @ ISO 800.

 

In case you were wondering if I have forgotten the one frame a day thing, I just always post that frame first and then if I have supporting images I think you might enjoy I add them, but I’m still only doing one main image.  I’m fortunate to live in the sticks, where old trucks, cars, and old barns are plentiful!

Never try to compete against babies, children or puppies!  On the way home from Barbourville I saw a sign that said German Shepherd Puppies For Sale.  It was at an old barn so I parked and walked over and sure enough their in a pen was half dozen little ones, I couldn’t resist, I love dogs and these little guys were excited to have a visitor!

 

Photography Post-Mortem:  Fujifilm X-T5 with the XF 56mm f 1.2 R shot at 1/500th of a second @ f 5.6 ISO 200.

Today I decided to do a  studio type shot.  On my desk sits a Shure 55SH microphone.  This was the same classic mic used by so many famous singers of years past including Frank Sinatra, Tony Bennett, Elvis and at the Beatles!  I love music and it reminds me of that love and enjoyment whenI’m working at my desk and see the microphone!

 

Photography Post -Mortem:  Shot with the X-T5, and the Fujifilm XF80mm f 2.8 R LM OIS WR Macro lens.  1/25th of a second at f 2.8  @ ISO 250.  I placed a sheet of red construction paper behind the mic for a color splash to the background.

 

I hope you think of this marvelous invention that captured so much great music for us, the next time you’re listening to a famous artists of that period!

 

Blessings,
