Rediscovering Photography - It's a Digital World

It was really windy outside this afternoon. When I was out by the river it was 33ºF and the wind was gusting at times to 35 mph. The temperature wasn't that low, but I have never been colder since I started this photo project. The wind is amazing.

I was on the wrong side of the goofy ducks again to get good light. I'll put a goose picture up here but didn't really get any good photos.

I've been trying to work with making the pages work with different screen resolutions. Viewing the top ten photos in full size should work for whatever screen resolution you have your computer set for. If you have any problems or things look goofy, email me and let me know.

I went up to Little Rock Lake north of Sauk Rapids this afternoon. Five photos follow...

I had to upload this one of clouds at sunset. It probably isn't the best photo, but I am constantly amazed at how God and nature can so easily create beautiful art that we work so hard to copy:

I took quite a few pictures of these two Canada geese as they swam around. I like this one the best. They are looking at each other as they head into the sunset. (The actual photo is quite a bit clearer. The small file size image I use for this page loses some of the quality.)

I spent 3 hours sitting by the Mississippi River this afternoon freezing to death. Out of 200 photos here is the only one I think is even close to good. Canada Geese in formation. I did see an eagle today when I was out by the river, but I was not very close. However, the picture following the geese is my first eagle picture..

I added some more links to pictures mostly as a test of how to convert them and upload them for web pages. Also set up links on the left for projects and picture pages. Some work, some don't. Will take a little time to get the all set up. Time for bed pretty soon. You can check out Bernie's, Jim's, Jason's and Kathy's pages.

A program called Adobe Photoshop Elements 2.0 came with my camera as part of the software that was bundled with it. It has an option to create a Web Photo Gallery. After trying it, I decided I liked the ThumbHTML v2.7 better.

I have been reading about web stuff all morning. Cloudy and gloomy outside so no chance of going out to do photos. So I might as well keep working on this. I wrote for info to the webmaster at astound on using a database. Will have to wait for a reply, so I might as well start fixing up these pages and try to get a few photos up here.

This has been a long day. Jason helped me out a lot with learning about Web databases and scripting languages. Tomorrow (Sat) I will try to learn about getting a database set up. Then I should be able to do some interesting things with this site.
