Hmmm I have to go to Ikea – maybe tomorrow – to get a couple of shelves and check out the mirrors. I may just bring the Xacti! That Charlie looks well.

I knew he was cutting a notch on the far side at the beginning because I watched Nelson, who worked for my dad, fell countless trees, He dropped them right where they were wanted with no assistance from ropes. Then I used to jump up on the log and cut the branches off the top with an axe and then mark the log out in 12, 10 and 8 foot sections with chalk and then Nelson or my dad would cut it up. Nelson had his own team to snake the mill ready logs out to the skidway so we could load them onto a truck and take them to the mill. My dad always left that magic notch to Nelson. We cut all the timber for our 10,000 square foot chicken house that way. The mill kept a percentage of the wood as payment, but the wood was free to us. We just had to pay carpenters to assemble it.

Pam loved this video and told me about it and I couldn’t find it. I don’t know if I’m blind or WordPress is messing with me. It is really impressive. I want to get closer shots of birds and I may have found the right tool. a 70 to 300. That’s 480 mm @ 1.6 crop on the Canon APSC sensor. That crazy Russian kid Kogan is selling them new below the used eBay price.

Hey, I remember thatI I still like the life blanker – makes him look like a horse with a blanket. Aside from not checking my camera before I went on that outing I really enjoyed just being on the water (well, almost) near the ocean. This video makes up for my camera not working.

I really enjoyed the sight and sound of this. Also the waterfall in the foreground really looks interesting against the background of the building in the distance.

Nice! I like how he turns into the camera at the end and looks at the ca,era like he knows he has hit his mark.
