Thursday Blog

Happy Thursday everyone.  Today I am off to meet some of my Travel Agent friends at Mall Of America to see the Diana Exhibit.  We plan to have a leisurely lunch after that.  Can't wait.

Tonight I am going to meet some of my Photo Buddies from the Minnesota Valley Photography Club for a Photo Shoot in Burnsville.  I will post some photos tomorrow if I have time.

This article is from the Light Stalker website.  It is about Night Photography which is so much fun and not hard at all once you learn the basics.  A tripod and a off camera trigger or using your camera's timer are a must.  There are some awesome night shots posted with the article too.

Here is an article about shooting sporting events.  If you are using a Point & Shoot camera turn the dial to the runner icon.  This setting works well for shooting anything that is moving as well.

Today's How I Took It Photo was taken at the Marjorie McNeely Conservatory in St. Paul, MN with my Olympus E510 SLR Camera, Maual Mode, F2.0, 1/80th of a second, ISO 100.

Here is a video showing an auction of the world's most expensive camera.  Unbelievable!

Here is an article about one more thing the airlines are doing away with.  Is it better to be standing in line or sitting in a chair waiting for the families to get settled? GRRRRRR..., OK, I am done ranting & raving for now.

Here is a recipe courtesy of Whole Foods that looks really good and would be great for a summer meal.

Today's Thought For The Day was posted by my Photo Buddy Cassandra on Facebook:

“You don't make a photograph just with a camera. You bring to the act of photography all the pictures you have seen, the books you have read, the music you have heard, the people you have loved.”
― Ansel Adams
