Spontaneous!

A Spontaneous 24 Hour Vacation = Many, Many Photographs to edit!

It’s going to take me awhile to review, delete, edit and post even just a few of them.  Until then, this photo perfectly expresses the peace (and lovely fatigue) that I feel after an unplanned mini-getaway!

One Stormy Day in May: From the Truck

by

This is the last of the series of Stormy Monday posts (see From the Bridge and From the Office).

The ride home continued to provide wonderful opportunities for photography.  While all of us in SWVA (and in many other places I am sure) are ready for the sun to shine, the stormy skies have been beautiful!

Until the storms clear, I’ve been resigned to shoot from the truck, but I sure am missing my motorcycle!

017

Until then, at least I can enjoy views like this!

And if the sun shines this weekend, I ride!

One Stormy Day in May: From the Office

by

How fortunate am I to have this view when I leave my office at the end of each day?

These two photographs are very similar but one emphasizes the green and the other, the impressive cloud formations from all the storm activity we’ve been having here in SWVA.

Yesterday, I posted photos taken during this same storm system. Please look here if you missed them.

One Stormy Day in May: From The Bridge

by

While we are all ready for sun and the warmth that it brings, the storm and clouds made for amazing skies.

The daily rain has caused the New River to run over it’s banks in some spots and we have been under flood watch here in SWVA.

023

As an aside, I was on the bridge for about 20 minutes and had more fun as friends would drive by, wave and honk, and later text or call to tell me that they saw me.

Ya gotta love small city life!

Get Your Camera Settings Right!

by

You can sing that title to the tune of  Born to Be Wild.

I have been so frustrated the last 2 days because my photos were just not turning out the way I had hoped they would.  Now, I get that sometimes I’ll take 20 shots and be happy with just 1 or 2, but yesterday nothing seemed to work!  Finally, in frustration I looked at my settings.

Yep!  I had the color setting to add extra red to my shots.

How? Why? When?

Who Knows!!

Can you tell which one was on the wrong setting?

051

I couldn’t 🙂

I’m open to  any suggestions to improve macro shots (I don’t have an SLR)

Withdrawals

by

What do you miss most when your computer is down?

For me, it is most assuredly the lack of access to my photos, and the ability to edit and post new ones.

A friend has lent me a lap top so I am able to do online banking and use the internet as needed.

I do not have group contact lists on my phone and given that I maintain communication for 4 groups I am a bit challenged. At least I can send messages via those group FB pages.

So really, it’s about photography.

Some of you post beautiful photos from your iphone, but as much as I love my blackberry, the photo quality isn’t great. Perhaps I’ll give myself a photo challenge and see what I can do with the phone camera.

Until then, will you join me in prayer to the computer gods/goddesses, asking for resolution soon? I’d be grateful … I fear I’ll be experiencing withdrawal symptoms soon!
