When I got it going today and went outside I found my brother Barry unloading his dirt bike.
It didn’t take long to gas up my dirt bike and join him on a dirt bike ride up in the hills.
We rode on out my front gate and headed up into the hills
Checking things out
We stopped to check out a couple of roads and got a little walking in.
Another place we stopped to check out.
We were checking out this area when his phone rang. Someone trying to sell him something.
From there we took off with Barry pulling ahead headed to the Top of the World for a break.
Top of the World
When I caught up with Barry he was already resting on the ground for a break at the Top of the World.
Our view
This is the view from there looking southwest over the hill tops.
After a good break there we took off headed for home. We rode on by this long dead deer. Critters have been nibbling on it’s horns.
Barry took off for home and I had a nap. A bit later I went out in the yard and puttered around looking at future projects in the yard that I need to do eventually. Of course the chickens kept me company.
Outside camera
One thing I did was move one of my outside cameras to the creek that goes by the back of my house. The creek is a good place for wild animals to get around the neighborhood and my brother Tom saw a coyote in it a few days ago so I thought I monitor the creek and see just what might be going through it at night.
Before I knew it the day was done. Another fine Fall day.
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.
Totally love those game cameras!! It’s exciting to check them every morning.
Nice trail ride to the top of the world!
