Barry showed up this morning for a ride in the forest. We took off and rode on up into the hills stopping here for a moment at the overlook.
We rode around some more and stopped here at this spring for a drink of water.
We were riding around here and decided to go for an exploratory hike down this ridge to see if we could make a trail down it. The trail looked possible from the top,.,.but.
When we moved down to the lower part of it and went for another walk, the area proved too steep for a trail, but it was a good walk for some exercise.
It was time for a break, so we headed for the top ridge for a break.
Always a nice view from the top.
Neighbor on his electric bike
As we left the top, we ran into a neighbor coming up the hill on his electric bike, so stopped and shot the bull with him for almost an hour. He can ride that electric bike faster around the forest than we can go on our dirt bikes. He’s pretty good on it, maybe because he rides it about three times a week in the hills around our area.
He finally had to take off for home so Barry and I rode down to a place we need to know where the property line is, so Barry got out his phone and was trying to establish exactly where it was.
We had to move a bit but Barry finally decided it was about here.
With the recent time change, it was late in the day when we finished our ride.
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.
