Not a cloud in the sky, nice cool weather, and wanted to get out of the house for awhile. So, I went back to Williams Creek area ... this time I took my camera with me.
Got a little shutter happy.


















































That shot is smack dab in the city. If you want to find nature around here sometimes you have to put a little effort into it. It helps that I live closer to the river...it leaves quite a few areas where they can't build because of flooding. The place where I took the photos of the dogs without water is a side-wash (think gully) that floods pretty bad in heavy rains. that whole section is sand/rock....amazing how nature recovers from frequent washouts.GSDNanny wrote: Gorgeous country up there too.
I have a Rebel as well. Did a lot of reading before I bought it...wasn't sure if I wanted to start a new hobby. The kit lens was "okay" at best, bought a zoom lens that I wish I wouldn't have bought (i.e. should have saved that money for the next lens), and then a nicer image stabilization lens with much better optics...now that lens makes a world of difference! If you start thinking about upgrading, upgrade your optics first!GSDNanny wrote:What kind of camera do you have? I have one of those Canon Rebels
Several years ago I bought a "light" version of Photoshop. It is has some nice features and I don't use them very often. The product I do like is Adobe Lightroom. Save, categorize, tag, etc....then you just whip through them and checkmark the ones you want to export. during the export process you set the limitations (for the forum I choose no more than 600 pixels on the long side and no bigger than 200kb). All done very quickly.GSDNanny wrote: am constantly taking tons of pics but downloading and resizing to post online is a royal pain.
