Decided I didn't like my earlier post for #ThrowbackThursday so I deleted it. It happens.
Anyway, here is a picture from 2012, when I went outside.
Nothing like the great outdoors.
@EricMartin
People keep saying that.
@BobHorowitz Nice golden browns in the grasses and scrub. Is this film?
I've crossed the Mojave several times (and once on foot!), and the temperature extremes are real. Starkly beautiful on its best days.
@fembot Not film, but it feels that way. Hazy day, mid-afternoon winter light.
My EXIF data says Pentax K5, 28mm, f/6.7, 1/250th of a second... So based on the not-so-fast shutter speed and fairly average aperture, I'm pretty sure there was a polarizing filter on the lens that cut the light down. Otherwise the shutter speed would have been faster.
On foot? Oy.
@BobHorowitz Ah ok. The vignetting effect on the lower half actually reminds me of the brightness there IRL as viewed through polarized sunglasses.
@fembot That is existential dread creeping into the picture, not filter vignetting. We are doomed, us humans.
@BobHorowitz That tracks. Tumbleweeds...
@BobHorowitz Loved this because it’s so you. Who else that I know would take a photo of nearly dead stuff? (Nice photo, too.)

@pmonks @jeridansky
Les plantes sont mortes. Tout est mort.
That's what I used to say when my parents served me vegetables.
I got no sympathy. I still had to eat them.
@BobHorowitz @jeridansky “These plants have mortgages. I want a mortgage.” ?
