Camera Settings

My brother, Bill, wrote me last night after reading my post about the camera I'm using, and the seemingly long time between pressing the button and the click of the shutter. He suggested setting it in sports mode. Our camera models are a bit different and I clicked on a Menu button, and then looked for the icon (hate those things) of an athlete running. It could be a stretch of imagination (mine anyway) to see an athlete running, but I picked it out by the process of elimination.

I also had several comments to the effect that I should hold the button part way down until I get the shot I want and then press it the rest of the way to take the picture. I tried that and found that after I switched to sports setting, the picture snapped instantly. Bayfield Al suggested that I experiment with taking photos of Lady, and I took a couple this afternoon on our walk.

I thought I would include them, because this is what she does on her morning and evening walk - twists and turns and really enjoys herself, getting a good backscratch in the process. It's funny how most animals do this, and they love it.




This has turned out to be a pretty nice day. Though the forecast was for the upper 80's, I don't think it ever got that high. I've had the door open all morning - vacuumed and sprayed Febreeze all over the apartment in an effort to get rid of the strong doggy odor. It worked for a couple of hours, but now all I can smell is dog!
