I rode my motor bike up into the forest today to visit a neighbor and get some information from him about his generator engine starter module that I’ve been trying to find for him as they no longer make that part.
Water holes
On the way I went by my two water holes to see how they filled up overnight.
I had this one already made and was full of water yesterday.
This is the one I dug yesterday and it has filled up with water nicely.
Now this is starting to look like something, once some vegetation gets growing.
Ride up
From there I headed on up to my neighbor’s place and went by this new bench that was just installed.
Pretty nice job. The rail is so little kids don’t fall down the hill, which should also help older people from going down there too.
View
I sat down to check out the view. Nice.
Visit
I had a nice visit with my neighbor, then went on home for a nap.
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.
