Another astroburn attempt

[Larry Colen]

I went to another spot on Empire Grade last night to try to get some moonlit 
photos of the aftermath of the fire.  This was just before the Lockheed gate at 
the end.  
Unfortunately there was so much light in the background, the skies weren’t very 
interesting, but this does show the fire damage a bit better

Just trying out night time panoramas with the K-1 and 15-30.  More of the same 
at the end of the previous album
https://www.flickr.com/photos/ellarsee/albums/72157716081661841

The fastest wide lenses I know of that fit ff K-mount are my sigma 20/1.8 and 
Rokinon 24/1.4  Is there something better/faster/wider that I should be 
despondent that I don’t have the money for?

Very nice.
I’m impressed, that certainly beats out the cowbirds I photographed at in-n-out 
today.

Not at first and often not for quite some time, which is where the misfortune 
comes in.  As raptors don't like vegetables but still need the nutrition that 
vegetarians and omnivores obtain from them, they have to eat meat as fresh as 
possible.  Preferably still living.

OT: Online Comedy

[Daniel J. Matyola]

COVID-19 has been tough on charities.
Our Rotary Club usually hosts several spring and summer events to raise
money for scholarship, the food bank, and the local homeless shelter.  Our
signature event is a Comedy Night with live comedians at the local
community college.  I has always been a fun event and very successful.

Since that is impossible this year, we are doing a live virtual comedy
night to support our projects on October 9.  If anyone might have interest
in a few laughs and supporting good causes, let me know, and I will send
you the information fkyer.

TIA,

That rather depends on what happens to the profits. In the UK the National 
Lottery funds a large number of causes that I consider to be good ones, so I 
buy a ticket every week by direct debit, not in the expectation of winning many 
tons of money that I wouldn’t know what to do with, but because it’s another 
way to support these things, and I get the occasional thrill of winning a small 
amount of money - £60- being the most so far, although I do know some who has 
won tens of thousands, and deserved it.

I watched a kestrel tear apart a starling once. Very unpleasant for the 
starling.

This intersection was in the news back in June.  Someone saw a white parked 
here with guns in it. To make a long story short it belonged to a right wing 
extremist (boogaloo) who shortly thereafter murdered a deputy, nearly killing 
his partner, and who it was later discovered had killed a cop two weeks before 
in Oakland.  It’s been an overly interesting summer for our sleepy little 
community.

A few weeks ago, someone posted a photo of a James Dean mural.  Years, and a 
couple owners back, the owners of the Brookdale lodge had a similar mural 
painted on a wall facing hwy 9.  Someone else bought the place, worked on 
cleaning it up, and painted over the mural.  There was an incredible uproar 
from all of the locals, so they hired someone else to paint a new one, which 
sucked.  Another renovation cycle later, they were very close to reopening, and 
Covid hit.  They do, now, have a much better mural than the last:

If you go down towards Salinas, you will see a lot of John Cerney’s work:
https://www.johncerneymurals.com/

I just liked the title of this article I found about him
https://carmelmagazine.com/archive/outstanding-in-his-field

Anybody who has driven South to Monterey on the coast has seen the whimisical 
painting of someone loading a giant artichoke into a Nash metropolitan, itself 
even larger than a real one which is at the bottom of this page
https://www.roadarch.com/signs/cerney.html

Full set from yesterday.  Again, it’s a bit large as it’s a lot of 
documentation:
https://www.flickr.com/photos/ellarsee/albums/72157716043467568

I have come to the conclusion that of the natural disasters I’ve experienced so 
far, wildfires are my least favorite.

Great light! Very dramatic, and subject isolation is excellent. The
Sigma performs well for this.

Re: Mother goose in the ashes, another afterburn

[Stanley Halpin]

Like Bob said, the Goose shot is excellent.

I went through the whole set. What I noticed about my own reactions to the 
images is that the shots of burnt-out houses, nothing left but foundations and 
a lone chimney, were not that strong. If I had seen those houses before, if I 
had driven by them and noticed them before, then I would have something to 
reference the loss. The burnt out pickup truck(s), the bicycle frames, those I 
can relate to and feel for because I can “see” what they would have been before 
the fire. In this same context, I thought the first two BMW shots were really 
compelling. The left side - right side contrast of what was and what it became 
was just very stark.

After our flood this year our Servpro clean-up crew were from Pennsylvania and 
North Carolina. But after our 2017 flood the Servpro crew who came out were 
based in your area in California. Your shots of the Servpro trucks there made 
me wonder how many of the workers were out-of-state and how many were locals. I 
know I would not last long in a job that involved cleaning up after floods, 
fire, hurricanes, earthquakes, etc. But I would think the emotional impact of 
constantly dealing with disaster could be even worse when working in one’s own 
neighborhood/region.

Anyway, nice set. Sorry you have to be there to see all of that.

Stan

Don’t know if this photo works or not (which probably means it doesn’t). I’m 
preparing my Leica M8 for sale and found this which I took the day I bought it 
- in 2008, which came as a surprise.
