I really like ProCamera. It is easy to use but has depth, allowing lots of control including separate exposure and focus points, shutter or ISO priority and bracketing. I'll be trying some even darker night shpts soon. Adjustments in Lightroom 5 include crop,...

After 10 years or so without a good 35mm SLR I finally bought a Canon EOS 20D Digital SLR. I'm having a lot of fun taking more photos, especially with the Canon 100-400L USM IS telephoto lens.

I don't usually add stuff here unless it relates to our life somehow, but this is an exception. My purpose in linking to this video is not to discourage people from getting the vaccine, but to show how strange the human body functions. Keep in mind...

It's been a cold and wet winter here in Delta compared to normal. For us it's still a lot milder than Meeker and we are enjoying it daily. We get a lot of light snow that melts off the same day. The temps are normally well into the 40's by now but...

Bike ride on the Henry Hudson Trail, first stop was Off The Hook Restaurant & Bar for a quick Yuengling. On the way back home stopped at Water Witch for a coffee. Great local jam, lots of blues and a great rendition of the Stones Dead FLowers.
