Things I Find Cool – Page 40 – Daffodil Hill Photography

Autumn Chillin’

What better way is there to warm up a cold Autumn afternoon than taking a nap in the suns arms. Autumn chillin’ at its best.

OLYMPUS DIGITAL CAMERA — This is one of my life’s little surprises. Cute when they are asleep, no? Read about her arrival on my other blog by clicking the above highlighted words.

Dainty Cat Eyes

These beautiful eyes belong to our cat Dainty Dot. She is the Queen of her world and our’s more than not!

I took this photo with my Canon SX260 HS.

Last month, after the Hummingbirds had filed their southbound flight plans, the bees decided to take advantage of the last bit of sugary nectar in the feeder. I took this with my Olympus SP-350 and it was interesting getting these close-ups.

Layers

I took this photo on our place with my Minolta DiMage S404. I was trying to get the soft light of dusk as it warmed things made by man and nature alike. I had the added bonus of a wayward grasshopper sticking its head in for a quick photo-op!

A B&W Plus Some Rusty Things

I took the following with my PowerShot G3. All the photos are things on our old barn. Hope you enjoy them!

Nailed this shot down with my G3 by playing with the exposure plus the white balance setting.

I love the textural feel of this shot. Old barn wood and a rusty nail are a great combo don’t you think.

A rusty hinge and dry wisps of not-so-long-ago-alive grass.

Untitled

Sorry about the post name but I could not come up with a name for this shot. It is a nail in the side of our old barn. I shot this with my Minolta DiMage S404 set on manual and on B&W. Enjoy!

As The Day Fades

The sun was rapidly sliding down the day into the approaching dusk as I was mowing the yard. The next few days will be rainy so I just had to stop to get a few shots in. Here are three from around our place this evening. Enjoy!

DCF 1.0 — These Thistles, along our fence line, are patiently waiting to deploy the last of its thistledown. They will not have to wait long as Autumn is steadily pushing its way into the area.

I took all the above photos with my Minolta DiMage S414.

Something Different Just For Effect

I took a picture of my cup holder and its contents some time ago. It turned out well but I had no real place to use it. What to do? How about using photo editing tools to liven it up some and present it as something different just for effect? Sounds great to me so here it is. Enjoy!

Odds And Ends

The Bride and I spent the day at a small town Festival last month. As we walked about the varies booths and shops I and took the shots I like taking. So here are a few odd and ends from the day.

New Old Tech

In my world anything new-to-me-old-but-new-at-one-time-tech is as good as for-real-new tech. That was actually going to be post title but it is even long for me, Mr Run-On-Sentence guy! What me started on this newest quest for old tech gear was the re-birth of my Canon PowerShot SX260: I now have placed it in a safe, and dry, place and take it out only in high and dry situations. It came back to life once I do not want to try for a second go at that little miracle.

So I have purchased two used Minolta DiMage four megapixel point and shot cameras. I have received the DiMage S414 and the photos that follow were taken with it. I hope the sun is out this weekend so I can take a walkabout and run it, and its soon to be here mate the Dimage S404, through their paces. Enjoy!
