At the Park

Jackson and I sent to Shy Pond this afternoon. We were only there for about 40 minutes and I somehow managed to take 164 pictures in that amount of time. Some of them turned out really cool if I do say so myself. I started a flikr page and put some on there so I don't have to put a buttload of pictures on here. Here are a few that I didn't have room for on the flikr thing. Ok, so maybe I did end up with a buttload on here anyway. This new camera is really cool. It's a good thing I was able to talk Phillip into buying it.

Awesome, when can I schedule you for some Kaylee pics? Can we have a camera play date? haha

Those are cool.

Jenny, that 5th pic is simply great. I'd Photoshop-out the bird and the stamp on Jack's hand, crop it to center him, print it out and frame it -- but that's just me.

Good work, mein kapitan.

I personally like the 6th one. Rock on little dude.

These are great, Jenny. Good eye. I bet Philip couldn't take pix half so good...:)

You've inspired me to use the b&w function on my Canon more often. Heck, I'd like to learn how to use my camera, period!

take care!

Maury said...

Please don't use the B&W on your camera — convert the pic to B&W with software! I'm purposefully not going into detail about why you shouldn't use your cam's B&W feature, but I'll dive in if I need to.

Yeah, I like the sixth one too. You can see the imagination at work.

Those are excellent.

Okay, I'll bite, Maury. Why shouldn't I use the B&W feature on my camera? Will it set off an internal timer linked to a bomb in my basement?

Just curious:)

Well, I don't know exactly what Maury would say.

But if you take them in color and then convert them to black and white, you have much more control over what the end result looks like. But if you're camera isn't digital, then you can't change the pictures digitally anyway, so I guess it doesn't matter.

But my thinking is that it probably takes a very particular eye to really be able to tell much difference between a photo taken in black and white and a color photo converted to black and white. I'm sure Maury would probably disagree with that.

Just take pictures. Take them like you want to take them.
