Another Church
Waterbury, Connecticut
This afternoon, the air was so humid that the clear sky was diffused like a light overcast.

Loading Shot...Sorta
Torrington, Connecticut
Back in the days of 35mm film, we often got "loading shots" that were kind of interesting. Extra frames at the beginning of the roll that you'd crank off when reloading in a hurry to make sure the first frame you shot would be on unexposed film. This afternoon I lowered the camera to check the histogram on a shot with extremely bright clouds, to make sure I'd compensated enough to keep the clouds from blowing out. The view on the LCD, when I turned off the review, looked just like one of those 35mm loading shots. So I shot it.

Old Factory and Transformer Station
Torrington, Connecticut
A quick search shows Nidec to be a Japanese/international manufacturing company. Motors of various sizes look like the main product. Without looking into it more, I'd guess that these buildings date back quite a while and began as part of another company that was more recently acquired. Like a lot of the manufacturing facilities in Torrington, this complex is certainly not abandoned, but just as surely not currently operational.

DEVIL'S FAVORITE SONS!!

I've recently been doing a lot of shooting in fairly nearby locations, trying to establish exactly where I'm heading with the sort of pictures I've been posting here, including how they connect with the "Off Topic" pictures I made all across the country on the 2012 drive-in theater road trip. The idea of this blog is to show "recent" pictures, but since I have some projects coming up in the fall that may cut into my ability to shoot new material, I've been building up quite a backlog of processed files, ready for posting, in my For the Blog->Current folder.
While I try to work in a highly intuitive manner, I've been consciously aiming at simplicity of approach, so I thought it would be interesting to take a quick look at some stats. That "Current" folder has 114 files in it right now, dating from May to this week. So I took a look at the filter panel in Bridge and find that, as I knew anyhow, all of them were made with my Lumix GX7. As for lenses—91 with the 20mm, 15 with the 14mm, and 8 with the 45mm. So I guess the simplicity thing is in place.
