Saturday February 14, 2015 Arizona Beach, Port Orford, Oregon
Once I got it going this morning, I went over to where Steve was staying to see what was going on today. Steve didn’t seem too energetic.
We went for a walk from his place to the Arizona beach which is just across the highway.
We crossed this little walk bridge to get over to the state park. Steve’s looking for fish.
There were two crows on the grass as we passed making a lot of crow type noises. Here’s one of them that stood still long enough for me to get a picture.
We took it easy here at the beach for a good spell before returning to where Steve is living.
We heard a bunch of honking and spotted these two geese before they flew off.
When we got back to Steve’s place, we couldn’t agree on what we wanted to do today. By now we were both feeling on the lazy side, so I said I’d stop by this evening and left to go back to my camp area for a nap.
Instead of going to my camp area, I checked out another place just below it that I hadn’t been in before and had a nap there. Good thing I checked this place out as there were people in my camp spot when I went to it in the evening.
Here is the view of the ocean from the new camp spot.
In the late afternoon, I decided to go to Port Orford library to do some internet stuff which I did.
After that, I went down to the Port Orford harbor to see what was going on. Not much was going on as no one was working today.
I watched these two crab and fish for awhile. They didn’t catch anything while I watched, but I heard them tell someone else they had two crab and some perch.
Elk
I left Port Orford just after five and drove back to where Steve was staying. There were some elk grazing right where I normally park and they didn’t seem too concerned with my presence.
There were about a dozen of them grazing away as I watched.
I went in and talked with Steve for a bit. We decided to kayak and fish the lake in Port Orford tomorrow and then I left for my old camp spot. But when I drove up there, two cars were already in the spot, so I went on down to my new spot where I am now.
I just need to get some dinner now and then I can kick back for the rest of the evening.
There are over a hundred pictures that are served up randomly every time you visit or change pages. They are of earlier pictures of interest and also some just to remind me of things.
A Sony AX33 4K, a video camera that takes stills too. What am I doing with that? I take pictures from my Kayak a lot. I found I was missing interesting shots, because my pic was being processed in my camera, before it would let me take another pic. Since I like to take what I call action stills, I bought this camera to take videos, that I could make stills out of, but, as a bonus, this camera also came with buttons to just take stills and that's what I mostly do, unless something is real interesting or too far away for my still zooms. My digilat zoom setting for video goes to two hundred x, and sometimes I need that, but usually, I only use the 10x lens zoom. Because this camera is HD and 4K, the quality has to be real good and it has a lot of stabilizers on it which really helps out a lot for taking pics on the water.
The other thing it has that is a must is a view finder and I had to buy Sony's top of the line cam to get it. This is a must for taking pics on the water, as you must hold the camera as still as posible and putting that eye piece to the eye forms a tripod with your arms that helps a lot. The eye piece is also a must as it works way better than a LED screen to see what you are taking a picture of in the daylight as the LED screens wash out easily in sunlight.
I also have another video camera, a Canon VIXIA G30. I use them both to mostly take stills. The Sony takes higher resolution stills than the G30. That was a bit of a disappointment as I bought the G30 to replace an older camera I dunked in the river, but then had to buy the Sony to get higher still picture resolution that the G30 was lacking.
