Tuesday Thoughts

Happy Tuesday, I hope your week is going well.  We have been working on selling our Candy Store so my husband can retire.  He wants to do some traveling in our motorhome so my Blogging will be coming from the road very soon.
Speaking of traveling, here is an article about how to save money on your next driving vacation.  That is one good thing about a motorhome or travel trailer you can avoid the high cost of eating out and save a little money on hotel stays.  Putting gas in the motorhome is the biggest expense.

Here is an article about the trolley car service in Duluth, Minnesota.  Duluth is great place to vacation in the summer.  Lots of things to see and do in the area for kids and adults.

This article is about light and lenses.  I agree with this author that those two things are much more important than any other aspects of phtotgraphy.  The camera body is not the expensive part of your gear.  It is the lenses.  As I have upgraded my lenses, I have seen a difference in my shots so it was money well spent.

Today's How I Took It Photo was taken with my Olympus 1020 Point & Shoot Camera, F3.4, 1/100th of a second, Auto White Balance.  This was taken a while ago so I am guessing I probably went to Scene Mode and chose the sunset option.  This was taken from our backyard of our house in Arizona.
This article is how the camera uses light from the Science Channel.  It is a good one of all you Techies out there.  I have to admit, I had trouble understanding all this technical stuff.
