Here are several shoots of things everyday finds that I find to be cool. Enjoy!
Things I Find To Be Cool
Category: Photography
Meet The Canon SX260 HS
I got this camera a week and a three days ago so I am still learn my way around. I have used the Live and Programmable modes so far. These are three I took today that came out half way decent. Enjoy!
Meet My Little Friend The Canon S3is
The second digital camera I bought is also been my favorite. It is a Canon PowerShot S3is and it is a solid, versatile and competent camera. After a visit to my place from manojuchila @ Goosby’s Photography I toured his place. I then started to appreciate the Canon line of PowerShot S series more. He uses a PowerShot S5is as well as a Canon compact SD series camera.
So I would like you to meet my little friend the Canon S3is, well at least the world through its lens. Enjoy!
Taking A Moment From Resting
I am on two days doctor ordered rest. I am a terrible patient but have complied with those orders for the most part. As one who likes to move about the need to move overcame me as the day got brighter. So I had to take a little walkabout and see what I could see. Here is the rewards of my (very) brief time in the sun. Enjoy!
Grandfather Apple, A Violet Plus A Random Photo
Today, after a very lazy start, me and The Bride went on a leisurely walk around the place. After finding the areas I had cleaned out paths last year still very passable we went down to the creek. The violet pictured is about ten feet down the bank right above the creek.It was such a stark contrast to the sandy bank and bleak brown creek bottom I had to take the shot.
The apple blossom is from a very old apple tree The Bride has named Grandfather Apple. It has bloomed early like every thing else around here and adds flavor to the emerging colors and smells of an early spring.
The last photo is of a wooden pallet outside of the loading dock at work. I see the pallet as thus so I am not sure what that says about me.
Please feel free to comment on what you like and what you do not.
Taking a Moment
I have a very hectic schedule when I am on call at work. Whether it rains or I am running out of day light sometimes I simply have to take a moment and breath. Enjoy!
Another Picture From My Old Tech Tools
It is hard for someone of my folks generation to think that something seven years old is old and obsolete. For those of us who were born right before or shortly after c.d.’s became the new tech, well we know how quick something becomes old and out dated. I for one love it! I bought a Nikon CoolPix 4600 for a dollar in a yard sale last year. It had a busted screen but after I took out the batteries and installed them properly it came to life. I added a SD card and fun times ensued! I took a lot of pictures with it till it gave up the electronic ghost this January. I have since bought another one off an online auction. This picture was taken September of 2011, with my old 4600, and I just ran across it today and it reminded me of what a capable little camera the 4600 is. Enjoy!
- A daisy and a very cool little spider!
Tulips And A Stray Magnolia
The last week has been some what of a challenge. Getting a chance to shoot has been as well but I have a very good friend with a wonderful garden I know I can access. My wife and I enjoy it and the quite it brings. It is open anytime I need a space to breath in.The Tulips are from her garden and the Magnolia Bush from a drive by shoot I did after a storm passed midweek. The storm left the petals battered but still standing. Enjoy!
A Picture and a Quote
“Nature is beautiful when it imitates art.” Luc Ferry
Authors note: I heard this tongue in cheek quote on the NPR show On Point from nature recorder Bernie Krause, author of The Great Animal Orchestra: Finding the Origins of Music in the World’s Wild Places.
The New Blog
The new blog is about my journey through pictures as a novice photographer. There will be some dialog but mostly just a picture or two or three once a week or so. Enjoy!
