105mm prime lens, picture taken in mid afternoon sunlight, Aperture - f/7.1, Shutter speed - 1/400, ISO is...envelope please....100! Aperture of 7.1 or 8 tend to produce sharpest picture. Of course, there will be tradeoffs with shutter speed and bokeh. ISO will be.... anyone want to venture a guess? Lucky picture. No post processing.
ISO would be 100!

Practice, practice, practice. A simple picture taken today that I liked.
This is a little trick that comes in handy. The camera is set for single point focus which is what your camera should be set for unless you have a good reason to change it. And there are good reasons. This was not one of them. I set the single point of focus on the gold flowers and pressed the shutter button halfway. Now the focus is locked in as long as the shutter button is pressed halfway down. Cameras being the dummies they are, does not know I focused on the gold flowers. It only knows that I focused on something 1 foot away. Now, no matter where I turn the camera, whatever is 1 foot away will be in focus as long as the button is kept half pressed. I then moved the camera up a bit so that the flowers would be at the bottom of the picture rather than the standard boring center of picture. Anything not a foot away becomes part of the bokeh.
This sign is another example of the trick. Taking a picture of the sign in focus puts the road in the picture. We could crop it but say the sign was an Autoflower Girl and we wanted to see her in the nature of the yard.
Here we use single point of focus on the sign(Autoflower Girl) and press shutter button halfway to lock in focus. Swing the camera slightly to the left and the Autoflower Girl(sign) is standing in the yard with no road and still in focus.
Here I want the back plants to be in focus but Auto Focus tends to put the first thing it sees in focus.
Putting the back plant in focus nets this.
Time for the trick. Single point focus on back plant. Press shutter halfway down. Swing camera to left. Back plant now in focus. I see this a lot at weddings. Bride and Groom slightly separated. One pic Bride in focus, groom part of bokeh. Other picture Groom in focus, Bride part of bokeh.

Katydid
One of my favorite summer night sounds. They sing their mating call from about August 1st to the end of September here in Beautiful Upstate New York. For me, I can hardly hear the sound of a katydid without thinking of hot, sultry, summer nights, skinny-dipping in a mountain lake with a Autoflower Girl.
"It was a hot, and sultry night'.....the story begins...
This one is about 2 inches long.
Pretty much everyone around here knows the sound of the katydid and it's song "katy-did, katy-did-not". Not sure why the video is describing it as ka-ty, katy-did.
Pretty much no one around here knows that the katydid actually makes 6-different sounds!

So true about the sounds of a hot summer night reminiscent of childhood. So loud would keep me up when young, and love it todayKatydid

'Tupper for Supper'
Big Tupper Lake in Beautiful Upstate New York is annually stocked with lake trout and landlocked salmon by the state DEC. In addition, you will find small and large mouth bass, northern pike, bullhead, whitefish, tiger muskies, walleye, perch, and more. Insider tip: In the spring when the smelt start running, the southern end where the Bog River meets the lake (near Bog River falls) becomes a popular fishing spot. Anglers will fish by land, accessing it at the falls or by boat. Or as we say, fishing at Tupper is 'Tupper for Supper'!
Bog River Falls
Bog River flowing North into the southern end of Tupper Lake. South Bay is to the right of the bridge. The lake extends another 9 miles from what you see.
South Bay at Tupper Lake. Great place for largemouth bass on warm sultry nights. Use a 'jitterbug'. I gave this picture a bit of a grainy look because I wanted to or I was stoned or both. One of the beauties of post processing is that no original pictures are harmed during post processing.

Was standing in field of fucking weeds yesterday, wait, let me back that up, sounds too hoi polloi, was standing in a field of landraces, strains, cultivars, chemovars, cultigens, and all that Happy Horseshit the hoity toity like to say, hoping for a nice sunset. The clouds had been so awesome all day but the closer to sunset the more they disappeared. I hung around a few more minutes just in case, and then it happened!
Skynet had become self-aware and was launching its attack on America! What could I do standing in a field offucking weeds landraces, strains, cultivars, chemovars, cultigens, and all that Happy Horseshit the hoity toity like to say. I called the only place I could think of with nationwide contacts to alert the country. I called Coast-to-Coast. They said it didn't happen without a picture, so I sent this picture.
C-t-C: "Oh, so this is a true story?"
Me: "Yes, it is"
C-t-C: "Have you ever listened to our show, Longball?"
Me: "Yes, but only when forcibly tied to a chair and an electrified cattle prod put on my penis."
C-t-C: "So then you know we never report on stories that contain facts or truth". Then they hung up in my ear!
Me: "Phuckers!" Turns out it wasn't Skynet after all. It was just some drones Putin had let Trump borrow to track Kamala. Friend said he heard it on Coast-to-Coast.

Seeing these clouds after dinner, I decided to head over to the 'sunset spot' just in case something developed. You kinda need clouds for a spectacular sunset. So we had at least some of the ingredients needed.
Turned out ok, not spectacular. Weather permitting, been going out to smoke a joint at sunset for 50+ years. Favorite time of day. Sunrises are also very nice but have usually just got home before then and want to 'hit the hay'!
