I decided to go up into the hills and collect my cam cards to see if there’s anything interesting on them. I have the cams mounted up on the side of trees. They blend in well this way.
This cam covers this area, a Y in the road.
There wasn’t much on that cam but this one by my water pool had something, a bobcat.
After collecting the cam cards, I rode around the hills a bit, stopping at this overlook.
It overlooks the town of Guerneville.
Then I rode over to a neighbor’s road I’m studying to work on later and checked it out to figure out what to do to improve it.
On the way back home, I ran into this downed tree across the road. It was small enough to push out of the way by hand.
Back home, I mostly took it easy. I did cut some more blackberry vines out of the yard.
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.
