こんにちは!

I decided to shift my Instagram account subject matter to just pictures of the clouds (and sky), since I am pretty convinced that they are my favorite things to take pictures of. My Instagram has been a mix of clouds, travel, and food, but I think I’ll just focus on the one subject. I’ll keep all my old photos, including my earliest where Instagram meant spontaneous snapshots, just for history’s sake.

Anyways, we’ll see how it goes! I’m not very active there, with the main effort being this blog, and then my daily photo post on Flickr. But Instagram is still fun to browse and see what friends and family are up to!

またね~

“Summer Evening Sun” Cedar Park, 2020

I went bird-watching at the nearby park for an hour or so this evening, but I didn’t see many. However, I made a couple of photos as the sun went down. And it was nice to get out for some socially-distanced fresh air!

I hope you had a good day. 😊

Adding Strava Stats to Photos

“Evening Stats” Cedar Park, 2020

I was browsing a bicycling subreddit and came across some photos that included the Strava statistics. I couldn’t for the life of me figure out how to create one, so I reached out to one of the posters of the thread and he told me that I had to Share an activity in Strava, and then can choose the photo or map. Worked like a charm! I don’t know how often I will use it, but I think it’s pretty neat.

Here’s another cloud photo that I took on my run. I really like clouds, btw. 😜

New Light

“New Light” Cedar Park, 2020

Mariko is upping her Zoom class lighting rig with this new LED ring-light system. We need to order the iPad holder for the center, but for now, she’ll just use it as a directional light. The brightness is adjustable, so it can be used to add a bit of fill light nicely, or you can crank up the intensity and bounce it off the wall or ceiling. It’s pretty neat! I might even use it for my work meetings. 😃
