The sun was out nice and bright today. I fed the chickens and hopped on the dirt bike headed for the hills to continue my trail work in the forest.
Checking things out
I walked out the trail and checked things out to see just how much more trail work I had to do on this trail. I think four or five more days I should get done what I wanted to do on this trail for the winter. I thought I’d be done by now but with the fallen trees across roads during the rain storms, things got set back a bit.
Trail work
I’m working my way down the trail and this is the spot where I worked on improving the trail today which is getting near the end of it.
I usually work until about 4, but today I forgot my watch so quite when I got tired out, which was about 3:30, I think. At any rate, I was beat so I rode the dirt bike on home for something to eat and a good nap.
Chickens
After resting up, I went outside and the chickens where begging me to let them out into the front yard which is one of their favorite places to graze.
Making plans
Just before dark, I went across the creek to my brother’s place to make some plans on how we were going to dig the ditches for his water lines I’m going to help him dig.
Then, back in the yard for some chair hopping until it got dark on me.
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.
Ha, they ARE waiting on you.
