“Double Exposure” Cedar Park, 2021
I saw that The Great Gatsby is now in the public domain. I have to admit, I know nothing about the story. Something to do with Leonardo DiCaprio?

“Vintage Look” Cedar Park, 2021
Watching movies in pajamas. This is the life!
FYI, I used Analog FX from Nik Software to make this vintage film look to today’s photo. I think it’s really fun to play with the different looks.
Today’s Events
“Coup in the Capitol” Cedar Park, 2021
Shocked, saddened, but not surprised.
The work laptop on the left did not get much use this afternoon.

The morning light looked nice on the marimba. The mallets at rest look so peaceful.
New Camera – GoPro Hero9 Black
“GoPro” Cedar Park, 2021
Today I bought a new camera: the GoPro Hero9 Black. I’ve owned a cheap action cam for a couple of years, but the poor quality of the stabilization made it pretty much unusable. I only paid $35 for the Victure AC600 and the old adage “You get what you pay for” certainly applies here.
The GoPro Hero9 Black cost $399, but the quality is amazing. The stabilization is unreal! I’m going to have a lot of fun using it to record my bicycle and motorcycle rides.
Take a look at the video I made while wearing the GoPro on a chest mount:
And below is the $35 Victure for comparison. Apologies if you suffer from motion-sickness, but I even applied Warp Stabilization using Adobe Premiere Pro! You can imagine how bad it is straight out of camera.
The GoPro cost 10x as much as the Victure, which is quite a jump, but because I never use the Victure, it’s basically worthless (however, it did include various action-cam mounts and hardware which I can use). Also, the GoPro has timelapse capabilities which surpass my Fujifilm X100T, so my timelapse videos of clouds will see a big bump in quality.
I’m very happy with the GoPro Hero9 Black. I haven’t bought a decent quality camera for myself since 2015, so I’m really enjoying that new camera feeling!
