This morning we had a very overcast cold morning and I ended up driving Sherelene to work in Barbourville, KY, \u00a0because my vehicle is all wheel dive and her’s is not, though roads turned out to be fine! On my way back home I drove past the Kentucky Fried Chicken Museum and KFC\u00a0restaurant in Corbin. \u00a0The sky was pretty dull and I had an idea! \u00a0Hundreds of people stop at the museum everyday of the year and shoot a selfie of themselves in front of the historical marker telling about Kentucky’s Most Famous Citizen, Col. Harland Sanders. I know you were thinking it was me, but sadly not!!! Ha!!!<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

The Post Mortem:<\/strong> \u00a0My goal for this shot was to get the historical marker in sharp focus and hold enough focus on the Sander’s Cafe sign to keep it as part of the scene. \u00a0I choose the Fujifilm XF 16-80 set to around 54mm (82mm equiv.), for compressing of the two elements in frame, and exposed the image for 0.3 seconds @ f 14 with an ISO setting of 125. \u00a0I set the self timer for 10 seconds with the camera on a tripod, that gave me time to walk close to the brass marker with a small hand held , but powerful, LED battery operated light panel (3″X5″) to just highlight the brass lettering on the marker. \u00a0The only thing I did in post was remove some telephone lines in the extreme left side of the frame and slightly darken the exposure to make the neon in the Sander’s Cafe Sign pop. \u00a0So there you have it Shot One – Day One!<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Side Note:<\/strong> \u00a0Many years ago I was covering a fundraising picnic in Hodgensville, KY. \u00a0I was the regional AP (Associated Press News Agency) rep at the time. \u00a0It was an outdoor event and they had set up a hundred picnic tables across a field, so I got my plate of food and went to an empty picnic table and had just started to eat when a older gentlemen in a tweed sport coat, blue oxford shirt and nice rep stripe tie walked up and said, “Son, do you mind if I eat at your table?” \u00a0I said, ” Absolutely,I’m the only one here and I’m not expecting anyone, have a seat!” \u00a0He did and we small talked as we ate. \u00a0I kept looking at him and knew I had seen him somewhere before, but just couldn’t place him. \u00a0I finally said, “I’m embarrassed, I know that I that I have met you before, but I don’t know when or where?” \u00a0He leaned into me with big smile and said “Aw, you’ve seen me around, I just don’t always where that white suit!” \u00a0It was Col. Harland Sanders! \u00a0He turned out to be really nice guy!<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

If you come through Corbin, stop by the Col. Harland Sanders Museum, it is fun stop to learn the history of the KFC story.<\/span><\/p>\n
