Wednesday Already?

It is "Hump Day" already, how cool is that!  Today is still cool here in Minnesota but at least the sun is out and it is not too windy.  I am grateful for that.
Here is a great article from out friends at Picture Correct.  It will help you to understand all the different camera choices on the market right now.  It can be rather daunting trying to figure out which camera is right for you and keep you from over spending.  What made me decide to step up to an SLR Camera was the burst mode feature.  My Granddaughter, Molly, was a toddler and I could not get a picture with my Point & Shoot Camera.  I had all these shot of the back of her head because she did not stay in one spot for more than a second.  Once you get a camera that has Manual Mode, you can learn how to take all kinds of really cool pictures.  Remember you can get some really nice used cameras and save yourself lots of money.

Here is today's How I Took It Photo from our Night Shoot in St. Paul.  This was shot from Harriet Island with my Olympus E510 SLR Camera, F22, 25 second exposure, ISO 100 using a tripod and off camera tripper.

Here is a link to my Facebook Photo Buddy, Ray Janus' website.  He has real talent and a love for sailing.

Here is a slide show of some really far out resorts.  No pun intended.  The French Polynesia one is my dream.  The first one is out of the questions for me because of the entrance.  It is fun to live vicariously!

Thank you to my Facebook friend, travel writer Christopher Elliott, for posting this article about the TSA.  In my opinion the TSA needs a total makeover to make it more effective.  I talk to so many people who have needlessly been hassled by them.  I have experienced this first hand myself.

Here is an article from the Minnesota CBS website about some foods that might help you with the Battle Of The Bulge.  I swear I have been waging this battle since I was 12 years old!

Many Thanks to Professional Photographer, Scott Berglund, for posting this quote that I am using for our Thought For The Day.

“Destiny is not a matter of chance; it is a matter of choice. It is not a thing to be waited for, it is a thing to be achieved.”
William Jennings Bryan
