A busy September

 I am slowly getting the photos tweaked for my June album on My Garden web page.  This one caught my eye.  It is a vista looking over the valerine flowers towards the front door.  I was surprised to see this vista but I need to be on my neighbors lawn to get this view.  I must have a look from the street and see if it can be seen from there.  I have 15 more photos to do before I am finished that album and ready to create the album with photoshop.  Then I add any text to the album in note pad, It takes a long time to get all the pages of the album reworked in note pad, but I like having the ability to create individual albums, with my limited abilities with html.

 On the 7, 8, 9th we were at Campbell River for the Antique Car Event, The Island Challenge.  The meet hotel was right by the river.  Wonderful location.  A good time was had by all.  Good weather, good food and good touring.  Was good to see everyone.

This is a photo from our trip to Saskatchewan in July/Aug.  I photoshopped this with my 'Virtual Photographer' software, that I am running in an old copy of Photoshop.  I like how the colors turned out in the photo.  I am trying to do up the photos for both of the above trips and add them to their galleries on one of my megashot accounts.  Both galleries are slowly coming along.    I will use the same photos to add to the albums on my old web page, too.  So, I am slowly getting more done on my old web page. 
I have been reading a bit on my ipad, and learning a little more about it every day.  So many things can be done just by touch, and there is the keyboard, too, of course.  Today I saw a camera in the London Drugs advertisements.  This Panosonic Lumix has a Leica lens and a 20x zoom.  It also does panoramas.  London Drugs price beats Amazon prices, too.  This camera also has some 'touch' navigation for the shooting set up.  At $350 I think it is a good deal for a 20x zoom.  I have until the 30th to decide if I want it.  It might replace my Canon S3 IS for carry around ... it has image stabilizing.  But it will need the battery charged.  I like the S3 IS ability to run on ordinary AA batteries.  I really wish they would all go to this easy mode but I suppose they make a lot of money on the sale of the batteries.
