o death

Went down to the Gateway Funeral Home tonight at 5:00 to view Chris Pinner, Ron Pinner's son who died this week. Ron wasn't present. I signed the book, walked the line, gave my sympathy to Chris's wife and left.
I do not know if Ron came or not. I imagine this is a most difficult thing for him.
This evening the sky was again giving sporadic lightening. I was able to capture one streak. The one awesome streak I caught last week, the camera of all times was out of focus!
This photograph was taken standing on the road in front of the house, looking south over Mrs Bobby's yard and cedar trees. It is actually a composite shot, with the cedars lit by the flash and the lightening from another shot.
The Nikon D3100 at least has this feature, though not much else.
I suppose I am in post-camera purchase depression, the Canon S110 not taking night shots as I had hoped. I have yet to even set up the printer. Too expensive to send back. Stuck.
Down the road someday my set up would be a full frame type compact camera like the Sony RX100III, the current rave.
A Nikon D7100 or 610 full frame, with a 21 to 24mm equivalent lens.
For now, I contend with the two Canon's, the S100 and S110, both non-night taking camera's, the D3100 with all the dust spots in the sky.
But it doesn't stop me. I just drive what gets me around.
