How Hot Is It?

Posted on July 20, 2019 by cordeliasmom2012

Today, even the bunnies and squirrels seem to be hiding.

Currently, we’re at 87 degrees Fahrenheit, which is not as hot as predicted, and we’ve seen much hotter temperatures already this summer, but what with the humidity, it’s still pretty uncomfortable outside.

It’s a good day to stay in with the air conditioning and read or play videogames.  So that’s what I plan to do today, barring any unforeseen circumstances – like family members needing emergency care or something.

(Yes, that’s another story, but I’m not getting into it.  Let’s just say that as of this morning, everyone seems to be just fine.)

Even Puppy Cody doesn’t want to stay outside today.  I’m ok with that.

Enjoy your weekend, everyone.  Keep yourselves cool and hydrated if you’re in a summertime climate.

Don’t Mess With That Vicious Dog

MY couch!

(Sure, I paid for it, but can I sit there?)

Ain’t she precious?

May your weekend be peaceful.

Different Cameras, Different Photos – Really

Posted on July 12, 2019 by cordeliasmom2012

 

It’s that time again – time for Cordelia’s Mom’s photography lesson!

‘Cause you all know how qualified I am to advise anyone else on photography.

Not.

I suppose a really good photographer could use one camera for everything and would have enough knowledge to tweak the settings so as to get the perfect picture every time.  But I’m not that photographer.

As an experiment, I took both cameras to Walton Woods Park in Amherst, New York to see how they would each work on the same day at the same time in the same light, and with pretty much the same settings.  I guess my future photography will depend on whether I want a blue-tinged picture or a green-tinged one, ’cause playing around with the white balance on either camera isn’t doing it.

The cameras in question are my newer Nikon Coolpix  B700 and my really old Olympus Stylus.

The results are below – can you guess which camera took which pictures, without actually clicking on the photos to find out?  (Hint: the picture at the top of this post was taken with the Olympus because I couldn’t figure out how to make the Nikon take a photo of itself, and believe me, I tried.)

Cattails

Same Cattails – Different Camera

Ripples

Same Ripples – Different Camera

See what I mean?  Drives me nuts!

And, here’s an extra one for your viewing pleasure.  I only took one shot of this view.  Which camera do you think I used:

Ripples and Shadows

Happy Friday, folks!
