Barry showed up this morning for a bike ride. With the recent rain, the ground was wet and real nice to ride on. No dust is also real nice.
We took off for the hills and right away had to stop and throw some brush off the trail.
We rode a bit further and ran int5o this old rotten log on the trail. Barry took care of the log while I watched.
Warming up
We rode around and stopped up at the top for a break and to get some sun to warm up a bit. It was a bit chilly out today, like maybe winter has set in.
We had a nice long break up here and we sure did get some sun to warm up.
Eventually we took off riding again. The view of Guerneville was real nice as we stopped here for a bit at the Guerneville overlook.
We rode around for quite some time using up most of the day and riding all around our neighbor’s places. We finally got tired out and headed for home.
Barry took off for his place after getting a dozen eggs from my chickens. I went in for a much needed nap and to warm up a bit.
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.
