I have been sick since before Thanksgiving and barely keeping my head above water. I managed to get everything done that really needed to; gifts for the wife, wrap the kids gift, tree decorated, etc. But I was so wasted I could not do anything else that was not super important.
Getting ready now for next month and the new year. A few things need to be done in preparation and we are checking each item off our list. Then starting on the next list… Sigh. So much to do and so little time.
So one of the things I really like about the smart phone I have is all the functions that are always in my pocket. I have all my phone numbers and email addresses, nearly infinite music, web surfing, directions, and my favorite photos.
It’s not like we don’t have a camera, we have kids and all, but it’s a point and shoot. Kinda fancy so I can do stuff manually if I want but in the end, it’s only 7 mega-pixel. And my phone is 5 MP… The lens is nicer on the camera, optical zoom and what not but I don’t carry it in my pocket all the time.
With this respectable camera along with me all the time, I have started taking more photos. Fall is here with the colorful trees, some snow on the mountains, random shots of the kids doing something fun. I have a some interesting things that I would not have captured otherwise.
The problem I have now is the camera has not been set to take a full 5 MP photo. It has been set to take 640×480 photos for at least a month. So photos that I took and planned on cropping later, photos like the one above where the light is good, the weather is just so, I can’t do much with. I am so grumpy about that right now. I reset the camera to take the largest photos it can, but I don’t know what happened to make the resolution so small. It might happen again and I’ll have more unuseful photos.
Anyway, here are the small but hopefully still interesting photos I took with my camera –
