What’s Up?
The blog post planned for today has been postponed until tomorrow so that I can share the news of the beyond-amazing SONY mirrorless digital camera body that was announced yesterday. You will have to wait a day to find out if the Osprey was flying away or toward us. The short story is that I ordered two Sony Alpha a1 bodies yesterday from Steve Elkins at Bedfords. Many have known of the rumors of a new SONY body. The specs, however, far exceed what folks might have been dreaming of. I will share much of the manufacturer’s promotional hype with you below. The
What’s Up?
Monday morning began with the discovery of an eagle pair re-building and copulating in an old Osprey nest in a pine tree down by the lake. When it cleared, I enjoyed another great vulture flight session with the SONY 600 GM and the a9ii (on a tripod, of course). It has been so warm here for the past few days that the pool was up to 86 degrees yesterday! Swimming has been a pleasure. I am now doing 52 slow lengths a day (with 88 to a mile).
I am almost finished going through the copy edits/proofreads of the RawDigger e-guide. Special thanks to BPN-friend Paul Burdett (from Down-Under), IPT veteran Bart Deamer, and long-time blog-friend Dane Johnson for their efforts.

The plan is that I will create the RawDigger Adapted Histogram video on Sunday morning.
This blog past makes thirty-five days in a row with a new blog post. It took more than two hours to prepare. Please remember …
Rehoboth Beach Delaware 19971United States
For decades, long before it was commonplace, Rehoboth Beach’s Poodle Beach has been an oceanside destination for the LGBTQ community looking for a fun – and safe – place to enjoy the summer sun. It appears that history will soon be recognized with a Delaware Public Archives historical marker.
Rehoboth resident Frank Cooper submitted an application to the state requesting the marker in late June. During a city commissioners meeting Dec. 18, he announced the state had given preliminary approval.
After the meeting, in an email Dec. 23, Cooper said he and some other individuals have been trying for years to figure out a way to commemorate and honor the interesting history of Poodle Beach.
