Remainders: 26 October 2024

It is that time of year again. The rabbitbrush is in fall bloom and that makes my allergies go crazy. Shot with the Fujifilm X100V at f/8 using the Kodachrome film simulation in-camera. No post processing.

Well, my last remainders post was a couple of weeks ago. I wonder where the Interwebs will take me this week?

  • I know that I have some hearing loss. The tinnitus is a pretty good indicator. I saw a news bite somewhere that indicated my Apple Airpods Pro 2 can work as OTC hearing aids. The how is explained by Dr. Cliff Olson.
  • Father Nomad is a maker of adapters to connect water filters to water containers.
  • I have an Elecraft K3 transceiver for amateur radio use. This link describes how to set the Automatic Gain Control of my rig.
  • In my YouTube wanderings, the algorithm presented a video by James Fleet. He is a British photographer living in the Philippines. I have not yet explored his YT channel (but I will), but his article comparing the Fujifilm X-T5 to the X100VI for street photography is good.
  • The shutter tool is valuable for reporting the number of mechanical shutter actuations of a digital camera. Why is this important? I am preparing to sell some of my digital bodies and it is standard practice to report the number of shutter actuations.
  • I stumbled on W.G. Snuffy Walden several years ago. He turned up on one or two guitar music collections and I noticed his playing. It is quite tasty. Then I learned he scored The Stand. It is a good score.
  • Rick Oleson maintains an antique web page that has information of interest (at least to me). It is worth a look.
