Sacramento Train Museum Photo Walk

We all had a great time on the photowalk with Thomas Hawk and Robert Scoble. I am just sorry that Drumsnwhistles could not attend :(. I am sure she would have kept up with them all and had a great time! Somehow some of us lost track of the main group when we stopped to take some pics. We formed our own little group and had a blast! Here some of us are having fun with Tony Pinto.

I Want Fear Factor Points

Here I am wonder why, oh why, and how did I ever get talked into this: Photowalking in Sacramento with The Scoble Show. I am not good with new situations that involve – gasp – people – really.

I have just started taking photographs other than those snapped off on a vacation or fishing trip. If you ever have read my blog you know I just purchased a Nikon D80 with a 55-200mm lens,, an AF-s DX Zoom Nikkor 55-200mm f/4-5.6G ED to be exact. I really do not need to be exact because I really only have a vague clue as to what that all means! Can you say MAJOR NOVICE or sub novice – well yes you could.

Here is how I ended up doing this: Drumsnwhistles at odd times signatures wanted to go and can not. She has been the one person who has helped me no matter how stupid or silly the question was. She helped me decide on what camera I should purchase. She helps me with the what button was that questions. She even explained to me how to do some of the Flickr stuff step by step mind you! I thought it would be fun to meet if she made it to Sacramento but then it turned out she can not attend. Next thing you know I have the information in my email box. Now, I have to go! ๐Ÿ™‚ LOL

So, I want my Fear Factor Points if I make it there. Clicking all the names on the list of people who are attending and looking at their photos (read way way way way better than us average gals) has not helped. So, if I get there, stay there, and am brave enough to bring out my camera a major opening for ending up looking as photographcally ( is that a word?) challenged as I am, and take a picture as proof – I want my Fear Factor Points – you know where you hear – obviously _____ fear was not a factor for you!

If I had a picture of a chicken I would post it here.

The Eyes Have It

Today my friend and I went out to the wildlife preserve ( again ). I played around with the aperature settings and shutter speeds while assisted by my buddy Chuck. He unfortunately dropped his D70 with lense so it is in the shop. He as lent me his tripod also as he will not need it until his camera is back ๐Ÿ™ for Chuck ๐Ÿ™‚ for me. On the serious side the help I have and hope to continue to get from friends internet and personal is so valuable to me. Karoli at odd times signatures and my friend Chuck (scroll down a bit for a pic of Chuck and Jamu in one of their sportscars) have been especially patient with me.

Catfish as taken to turning his head away or showing me the wrong end of the deal everytime I try to take his picture! Annie on the other hand apparently has decided that when a camera comes out if she plays her cards right she will become the center of attention. Not bad for a dog that came to us scared, quiet, withdrawn, and not caring if she got any attention good or bad. She has gone from a 3month old could not care less if your here or gone to a 69 pound lap dog!

The eyes have it tonight:
