I didn’t have anything planned for the day, so I decided to get a shovel up to the trail I need to work on. I rode on up to this overlook where the trail starts and parked.
The sky was a bit on the cloudy side like we might get some rain showers, but it never did rain.
I’m taking the shovel out this trail to the place I want to work on the trail.
I got the shovel to the work area. I need to get the trail dug out to get under this big fir tree log that fell down recently.
At my age, the chair is one of the most important trail tools. I use it a lot. Sit, work, sit, work.
I dug away and sat a lot.
A few hours later, and the work was done.
That should do it for now.
I headed back up the trail, leaving the tools and chair there to do some more work at a later time.
I’m going to have to bring the chainsaw in to cut this small tree off the trail.
I made it back to the trail head and realized it was past five already.
The sun was going down to the west.
It got dark on me before I got home which was ok as the rig has head lights.
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.
