Seasons Change




Just a few days ago I shared pictures of color with you, and now it's gone. Weather in the Utah mountains changes fast. Now the snow has started to blanket the high country. Time to find winter coats and boots. I'm not looking forward to the bitter cold, but the snow is pretty. I'll share the changes as the season progresses.


Now that it's getting cold again, we'll all be playing more on the inernet. While you're at it, why not locate an old friend that you think of but keep putting off. It's really not hard to find them. www.urlfreeze.com/2kranches/peoplesearch/


Tips For Digital Camera Photos
*If you're taking photos with a
digital camera, don't take the photos by looking through the LCD screen most digital cameras have on the back. Instead, turn off the screen and look through the viewfinder. With many models of digital cameras taking photos by using the screen causes the camera to respond more slowly after you press the shutter button. The slow response is only a fraction of a second, but it can easily be enough time for a horse or something else in the picture to change and ruin your shot.
*Take lots and lots of photos, keep only the good ones (which probably won't be very many), and delete the others (which will be most of what you take). This is one of the biggest "secrets" used by professional photographers.
*Even if you just want a single picture, use "burst mode." Many digital cameras have a wonderful feature called burst mode or something similar. With this feature, you press and hold the shutter button and the camera takes several photos in rapid succession. Even with a photo subject that is standing still this can be enormously useful. The horse may flick its ears, stomp its foot, or swish its tail, but then return to a nice stance just a second later. With burst mode, your chances of catching the good moments go up, and you can simply delete the bad ones.
*Today, even inexpensive
"point and shoot" digital cameras considered to be in the "family" class can take sharp photos that enlarge well.

While at it, sell some of your best shots. Here's how.



Good day. Ken
