Don't Frack Me
Nikon D7100; Nikon AF-S DX NIKKOR 18-300mm f/3.5-5.6G ED VR

Several years back, the debate over fracking was raging here in NY state. Pennsylvania was going gangbusters, drilling and pumping wherever they could gain a lease. My BIL lives near Trumansburg, and made a comment one day about leasing a section of his property, and said "Frack me, baby." The response from my SIL was immediate. She told him that if so, he could go live and frack himself in the middle of a field somewhere.

I saw this political statement just outside of Corning a few years back and was reminded of that exchange. This image is post in ACR, which is just blowing me away with the features available in it. I remember when it was just a tool to open proprietary digital formats such as RAW and NEF. Now it seems a worthy tool with full editing and adjustment layers. Woo Hoo! The 'feng shui' here is to emulate some of the great bromide based papers I was ever so fond of 50 years ago.
