Birthday Blog



The work week is off to a start with a beautiful sunny day.  It is my Birthday today so I have been enjoying all the Birthday wishes I have been getting today.  My husband is taking me out to dinner tonight and then we are going to downtown St. Paul to take some shots of the Cathedral. 
One of my Photo Buddies was talking about a website that had some great prices on cameras.  It is called Digital Depot.  I checked it out and the prices really looked good.  I have not heard of this company before so I cannot comment about their services.  I am always wary when the prices are so much lower than their competitors.  I have found that sometimes they have great prices but they charge ten prices for the shipping.  So, it is buyer beware.
If you are heading out on a vacation be sure to be aware of what is going on around you.  Make sure you keep a close eye on your valuables and camera gear.  Thieves do not take a break in the summer months. They target IPads, laptops, cameras, cell phones, etc.  I am a big proponent of travel insurance.  It is a small price to pay for peace of mind.  Call me if you would you need help with travel insurance.
Here a couple of websites that will help you plan your next photo shoot.  They give you tips on the best places to shoot in different locations around the globe.   You can search locations by city or zip code.  They track sunrise, sunset and moon rise times as well. 
Adorama is offering a special on photo prints.  You can get an 11 by 14 inch print for only $2.00 plus tax and shipping.  The sale ends June 27th so don’t delay if you are interested.
Today’s How I Shot It Photo is a shot of a Star Lily.   I shot this with my Olympus E510 SLR, F 4.0, 1/125th of a second, ISO 400, center light metering, hand held. 
Today’s Thought For The Day is:
“I believe that in the end the truth will conquer.”  Thought to be by John Wycliffe.
