OK, after 15 years in IT I wear my geek badge proudly. As part of that, I have got my LEGO blocks out and organized. Of course the Boy and Girl are helping. As I get a chance I have made two things; a micro scale frigate and a small fighter. I am not totally happy with each but a month of tinkering with the frigate has it in a good state.
We got up at some ungodly hour (the Boy was already dressed and ready) and drove out to the golf course in Erie. As a reward we got these awesome shots:
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 –
