We came on home to various text messages from my sister and will she, won't she take mamma tonight. Wrangling, we decided it just easier to keep her here as she loathes leaving.
And so I swept the pool from all the high wind and leaves. And the ACC tournament is on. And Wolfie is in Crete. And Rick is stuck in the muck of Bell Springs. Whatever is that fellow up to? Wish I was along, both places, but I am about to saddle up again and go for my dentist appointment at two. A new dentist, Randolph, since I care not for my old dentist any longer. A nickel and dimer even though, aren't they all.
And so our insurance comes to a close tomorrow. And so we are trying to get it all in before then.
I forget, this blog is not about to be all about me, me, me. And it is not compelling. And I do not know what you will learn from it.
The photograph above is taken with the Canon S100 point and shoot. I hold it upside down and let the manual flash, set at minus two, fill in from below. I turn the exposure compensation down also to about minus one and a half to two, depending on the amount of sky I want to lighten or darken. In this case, I wanted to downplay that infernal roof line of Mrs Duncan that intrudes in about every shot. I also put the focus on manual at about four inches. I guess at the distance. I have a little metal ruler, but always forget to carry it.
Not much else. Vivid on the color. ISO set to auto, but sometimes 80.
As I said before, I like the manipulation I can achieve with this camera much more than I do the fancier Nikon. This one is just more intuitive. I can do it with eyes closed. And isn't that how it should be?
There, a photography lesson.
Learn to photograph blindly.
