I for one like cool, almost Autumn, rainy days. My allergies are less intense and the memories of how hot the summer was is beginning to fade. I also like taking pictures on rainy days. The following are several from a recent rainy day here in my little corner of the world. Enjoy!
If you just drove by our place you would not think much of it. To me I see a wondrous world just waiting for me to explore an discover its hidden treasure. Here are several from the day with more to come at a later date. Until then Enjoy!
As I took a break from my finishing the drywall in the bathroom I had an epitome: A bad day taking pictures beats a good day dry-walling! So off for a walkabout I went. Camera in hand, and a head full of worries and wants, I proceed to untangle my being doing something I love. Here is one from the day.
I took the following pictures with my Canon SX260 HS. I am slowly getting to like this camera but I am a long way from loving it. With that said I am very blessed to have any camera less alone the latest tech point and shot!
The journey with my new Canon SX260 HS is off to a rocky start. I like the long zoom and the screen is very nice but it does not have the same finesse, plus it lacks image stabilization, as my S3is had. I have fiddled around with the manual controls and I will get better with at it over time but right now I feel like a kid on a long journey: Are we there yet? No, not there yet. Here are several from the past weekend. Enjoy!
One thing about blogging I love is the friendships I have been blessed with here. Here is one for my dear friend at Snow Bird Press. And yes you should visit her place. It is a beautiful and wonder filled place where Art meets Haiku.
As a hack photographer I am blessed to have a supportive wife in this my photo blogging journey. I am blessed by those who follow, like and comment. I am blessed with having several cameras I can choose from. I am blessed at how wonderful my point and shots are. But all that means nothing if I did not follow through and do one thing: Take the shot.
The two following photos are examples of what I am talking about. One, the Rose, I took the photo in the full on midday sun. No filters were involved in the taking of this photo. I have been told midday sun is bad. Me? I went with my default setting: Take the shot.
The Thistle was taking early morning but almost facing the sun. I took it with my pops FujiFilm S700 he is loaning me. I wanted to catch the dew on the Thistle but knew my pops camera does macro only so-so. Once again I went with my default: Take the shot.
We can always wait for perfect equipment, the perfect weather, setting and such but life is oh, so very short so just take the shot.
As I was taken a few shots on my break today I had an “experience”. Follow the story in the photo captions below. An as always: Enjoy!
After a dear friend was relived of her camera, by her youngest daughter for summer travels, I lent her my new Canon SX260 HS back in May. I had not taken very many pics with it but knew my friend, who has a photography problem like myself, needed it more than I. Her youngest daughter is back from seeing the world. The last pictures taken with this camera by my friend was of her other daughter as she returned from Afghanistan. I hope it served you well!
Now that it is back in fold I will, over the next few weeks, hopefully l get to know it and see what it can do. Until then here a few with the camera on full auto.
