This isn’t just another picture of Lola in the studio …
it’s a step toward making my #DolbyAtmos system sound the way it’s really meant to.
Right now, I’m testing a new pair of speaker stands to see if they’re stable enough to do what I want to do with them. They are! Now I need two more pairs.
Just to be clear, this is the ^rear^ of the studio – it was a lot easier to access the speakers for a stand test than to start with the front.
I’ve raised the height channels so they’re closer to the ceiling, instead of sitting on top of the surround speakers …
but this is only step one. They’re still bouncing the audio off the ceiling – which is one of the modes they were designed for …
but what I need to do now is rotate them 90° so the backs are vertical, and the speakers are angled down at the center of the room, and firing directly at me. That’s the alternate mode, and the speakers have a crossover switch so that the EQ curves are proper for each one.
I think I know how to do it, but I’m still working on the final design. I’ll keep you posted. I live in an apartment, so I can’t just drill into the ceiling to mount them – hence the stands.
Lola is actually lying on one of my synthesizers … I have to negotiate with her if I want to use it.

I removed a bin from a shelf to get a lens …
I turned around for a second or two, and heard a *whump* behind me.
I turned back, and there she was.
I asked her to wait while I grabbed my iPhone for a pic. It’s a little blurry, but you get the idea. She had to jump from about three feet away, which was a pretty tricky maneuver!

I heard some protest chants out in the paddock. Turns out it was my Chief Culture Jammer Doom Kitty.
Doom Kitty is not angry but definitely disappointed at the things in the feed getting all the ephemeral oxygen. She would love it if you took a moment to read and boost the above top post in this thread and amplify some good connections for creative resistence and support independent artists doing a thing.
And of course more cats.
Come on fedi, flood the feed until we get at least one clout VIP accidentally boosting an independent artist.

Lola loves to hide in her collapsable tunnel,
but she likes to keep an eye on what’s going on.
She also likes warming her ears in the sun.

Lola Falafel has discovered a new trick, and I swear she's getting endless amusement from tormenting me with it.
I spend a *lot* of time on the Mirra chair in front of the studio computer, but I inevitably need to get up for one thing or another … tea, a snack, my phone – for a quick photo like this one –
and that’s when Lola makes her move, and appropriates the empty chair. She *knows* I don’t have the stomach to oust her from it (just look at that smirk)
so I get a little stool from the bedroom to hunch at the desk with, and wheel her chair out of the way.
Once I’ve been sitting again for a few minutes, she loses interest and goes looking for a sunny spot to lie down. This happens two or three times a day.
I’m convinced she knows exactly what she’s doing – she’s very fast. I don’t even need to leave the room to lose my seat.

I’m getting to know my new Voigtländer 27mm f/2 pancake lens with the Fujifilm X-T5.
Took a little walkaround … of course, I have to start with Lola, ’cause that’s what the public wants! : )
It’s a wonderful lens; for the time being, it’s going to live on the camera.
P.S. It was 59°F out!

Lola Falafel, catching some rays in her kitty tunnel.
It’s going to hit 56°F today!

Yesterday was 200mm NIKKOR day, and I tested your patience with a batch from my first test walk.
Today, I’m going to exercise a little restraint, and share just one pic from my newly-arrived #Viltrox 56mm f/1.4 short tele (85mm equivalent, a classic portrait length.)
I can tell I’m going to love working with this lens … gorgeous bokeh, great detail …
Lola’s napping on one of the synthesizers, but she can always tell when I’m enlisting her for #photo time.

Lola wants to help. Why should the keyboard get all the attention?
She’s on the desk with the primary studio computer.
-
Aww. I'll miss you too, Rosie.

Lola of Falafel, resting atop a free-standing cabinet in the kitchen.
She’s illuminated by light reflected off all the snow outside.

I love the “damned paparazzi” look Parsley the cat gave me when I took his picture 😹😻

I could save this for Caturday, but it was #NotCaturday when this happened. So… This is our 3-legged giant #BashBlackCat hanging out in front of our #Cicadas2024 tree in the front yard yesterday ~ Monday, May 13th, 2024.

Sat here minding mine own business and Merlin sits next to me. I think to myself "my pussy smells wet". So I stroke him and, yep, he's wet.

Happy #NotCaturday - Guest cat Grace jumped up on the perch in my office just now.
She has favored me with her presence.
