I was having breakfast when Steve pulled into the yard at Rene’s place.
I was going to follow him home to his place near Coos Bay to help him fix an electrical problem in his fifth wheel.
John’s place with a view
But first we drove the short distance to go see John’s place. Steve said he had quite a view of the ocean.
Well, he would have had a nice view if the trees hadn’t grown up and blocked most of the view.
The view wasn’t much better from his house. He did have a real nice house which I got the tour of.
Harbor overlook
We shot the bull with John for a bit then went to the store to get some lunch. We drove down the the Port Orford Harbor overlook and ate our lunch.
The view from there of the harbor.
And the view south from the view point.
Headed to Steve’s place
After lunch I followed Steve up the 101 highway to his place, about an hours drive.
Steve’s electrical problems
When I started to look at his electrical problem which was all his living room plugs don’t work I found he had some other electrical problems that needed straightened out first so I worked on those for the rest of the day.
Nice campfire
After dark we went over to enjoy his neighbor’s camp fire, an old Indian Gentleman. We had a powwow and shot the bull a bit until his fire dwindled.
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.
