luke enjoys another nap on his person

The cool days continue here in central Florida. Right now it’s a balmy 62°F, today’s high. Luke has decided that it’s better to stretch out on top of dad and his blanket, between his legs, in order to get warm and stay warm. As a human I certainly can’t argue with that sentiment. As cold as it may feel, I won’t complain one bit. Soon enough these cool days will give way to the short warmth of spring, followed by a long hot summer and fall of 2024. So the wife and I are enjoying all these cool days.

Workflow;

  1. Photo was taken with my iPhone 11,
  2. then moved over to my MBP via AirDrop,
  3. then exported to PNG before uploading to Flickr.

I chose PNG this time instead of JPEG as an experiment in resolution. Lossless PNG is supposed to be superior to lossy JPEG. I can’t comment on lossless vs lossy, but I can comment on the file size; the PNG file size is an order of magnitude larger compared to JPEG. I also chose this route because I’m just as annoyed by WordPress’ Jetpack as I was with their earlier mobile app. My review of Jetpack deserves its own post, which is coming soon.

In the meantime yet another cat photo on the internets.

it’s the last caturday of 2023

Here we are at the end of another year, and the last Caturday of 2023. It’s been cold and rainy for the past few weeks, and this morning it dropped down to the mid-40s (F) at night, with the high today just touching 60°F. The cats that ventured out onto the lanai reacted as they always do, by scrooching into hairy little footballs to stay warm. The dog beds were left out, and they zeroed in on them so they wouldn’t have to lie on the cold concrete surface of the lanai.

That’s Danï in the front and Joan Jet in the back.

Photo was taken with the Olympus EM1.2 and the PRO 40-150mm. Funny thing is that the zoom was at 85mm, which is just a little longer than my fixed focal length 75mm. I stopped down to f/4 to make sure Danï was fully in focus, but still putting the background out of focus.
