Barry showed up this morning in his truck. That meant we’d go out for a ride in the forest to get some exercise. We rode around and around and then headed for our break area.
Lots of exercise
After a good break we headed out again and stopped here to throw rocks and sticks off the road. We do sections like this, a hundred feet or two at a time. We did two or three of these sections today and got a lot of exercise and I also got real worn out doing it.
Guerneville overlook
We made it to the Guerneville overlook. They are working on the vineyard down there.
Blue sky
Everyone else shows nice cloudy red sky’s but all we mostly have is blue. I’ll take it.
Spring
We made it to our main spring for a drink of water.
From there we worked our way back to my place. Nap time for me. I tried to get interested in doing some stuff, but I just seemed to be too tired out so I spent the rest of the day chair hopping around the yard with the chickens.
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.
