Photography 2

[highup]

Darol I can never seem to make my photos interesting. Highup is good at making photos more interesting
On a side note I have a Canon camera with 16 Mega Pixels, 8 X Optical Zoom. I asked a camera shop at Norfolk Island recently when we were there how he ranked my camera as to taking good shots. We are doing a 4 or 5 day trip to Antartica next Feb so wanted to get some good photos. Camera shop guy reckons there is nothing wrong with my camera. What do you reckon?

The value of the number of MP is overblown. 16 is plenty. 8X optical zoom is 8X better than 8X digital zoom, so you ought to be good to go.

Can you tell if it was a Grande Espresso Macchiato or a mabe a Trente Americano?

Irish.

Thanks. But as usual, the opportunity presents itself, and if I'm lucky, I've got a camera to capture it. Good subjects can make you look like you MIGHT know what you're doing. At least with me anyway.

Being in the right place at the right time is 90% of a good photo. So keep rememberin to pack that camera.

I wonder how the yacht fared after that "drop-test?"

Just a pic of the London Bridge from Friday night.

You working there?

Here's my latest.
It's a really old photo of my former girlfriend's daughter. I took her and her dog Kiwi out for an afternoon on the dunes.
I often switched film part way through a roll to use a faster or slower film. I would then put the partially used roll back in, and start using it from the frame where I left off.
On this unfortunate occasion, I had forgotten to label a roll of partly used film, and I shot photos of Melissa and her dog on top of some images of baby swallows in their nest................ double exposures are never good unless intended.

Here's the double exposure, and today's photo fix. It's well over two hours of time devoted to saving this one......... three other shots were to bad to attempt. It's hard to make sand dunes, I'll tell you that right now. My eyes still hurt from staring at the screen.
.........worth every minute of it tho. I just sent a copy of it to her mom.

The first image is of the little birdies in the nest, the second photo is the double exposure. The arrows point out the same stick in the nest........... initially, I couldn't tell what was wrong with the photo of Melissa and Kiwi.
The final image is the same image all prettied up.

Just a pic of the London Bridge from Friday night.

Robert McCulloch of the McCulloch chainsaw, bought and moved the bridge from London. Then reconstructed it in Arizona and created a waterway to run under it. An amazing task.

So is this where the phrase "would you like to buy a bridge?" originated?
I would never have guessed.

It didn't hurt that McCulloch owned most of the property around the area and once his attraction was built, his land values soared.

I'd die for a bike like that.

I like the orange Chevy better tho......... Do you have one in a dark silver with black accents? Good photos Rusty. Is it that time of year again already?

Come to my area. The " BACK TO THE BRICKS" is just getting started. There will probably be somewhere near 2000 old cars and hot rods around here in the next couple weeks. Plus a 14 mile car cruise.
