Day 19, 2013 - Jigsaw Puzzle Here is my nerdy little hobby. I make jigsaw puzzles out of postage stamps. A long while ago I bought a series of stamps showing classic television shows. So here is the "Twilight Zone" made into a twelve piece puzzle. I have heard that postage stamps have another...

I love my Fossil too, but it's never told me the time. It must be broke... get it? Broke... it's a wallet and a Fossil? Never mind, I will slink away now.

Winter Rising

Day 18, 2013 - Winter Sunrise Here in the Rocky Mountains we get clouds, fog, and smog all trapped in the mountain valleys. At times, these conditions create some really sweet sun rise and moon sets. In this shot it really was this dark with a defined orb showing through at 0830. The horizon...

Your missing the fun and turned it into a chore. A picture of a co-workers funny little green fuzzy with antenna's stuck on their desk, someone's M&M character collection or maybe a bag of M&M's spilled out on a desk. Find the cute that makes you chuckle. Then, when you have the time, use the...

Day 17, 2013 - First Digital Camera - Sony Cybershot DSC-S30 1.3 Mega Pixels I was thinking about it and remembered I still had my original first digital camera, two batteries, charger, two memory sticks (16 & 32 meg that were big at the time). So here is that picture. I don't like how it...

Wifey bought me a couple filters just because. One is a blue filter that transitions from a darker blue to clear by the time it reaches the middle of the lens. The other is orange - orangish red and transitions the same way. I have not played with them yet but what would you use them for? The...

Day 13, 2013 - Brittle Star Here are a couple of limbs from our Brittle Star starfish. We never see him in his entirety. When we moved him a month ago he was 12" from tip to tip. His center is about the size of a half dollar.

I have a back-country trip to Yellowstone coming up in February. Doing a little looking I see the temp range low is only 32°F/0°C. That's not very low and I don't expect the high to reach that lower temp limit. Anyone shooting below this temp? Any precautions or damage risk I should be aware of...

Day 12, 2013 - Husks Not sure what you call them but they appear to be husks left over from whatever these flowering plants are. LEARNED: A flash is needed far more than you realize as a beginner. With all the reflected light from the snow it wasn't obvious to use a flash. Did it for the...

Day 11, 2013 - Frozen Berries I love finding frozen fruit that somehow has hung around too long but looks as fresh as it did during the summer.

Day 8, 2013 - Snuggles Here is a picture of our cat Snuggles. She doesn't have an ounce of mean or common sense.

Day 7, 2013 - Australian Dog Here is a picture of our other dog Freckles. We rescued her from the pound a number of years ago. She is some kind of a working dog, and we have been told by our vet she is some kind of an Australian cattle dog. Unfortunately, we have not been able to narrow down...

I often see people recommending turning up the "sharpness" setting but wondered if there is a downside like for example digital zoom. Sure the picture is bigger but super pixelated. Does "sharpness" have some kind of downside?
