Today I tried Periscope for the first time. Periscope is a new video app by Twitter.
I was on a walk around Lake Ginninderra again when I received a notification from a Star Trek friend in the USA. She was capturing her cat licking itself. I thought I’d show a bit of my walk.
The weather has been gloomy and I’ve had a lurgy. I decided I needed to move around to at least feel a little better in my head. I took a closer look at the signs around me.
It’s a brilliant Sunday morning in Canberra with a few clouds and no wind. Yesterday I went out for a walk and played with the bracketing feature on my Sony α7S. This morning I set the menu to capture five images at a time with a compensation increment of 0.7 EV.
This morning I went for a walk around Lake Ginninderra and while I was walking I started playing with the menu on my Sony α7S. While I was stepping through the shooting menu to change from timer (I’d be using the Sony for some food photography as work) to single shot my finger slipped and I noticed more options in this menu. I came across an option for continuous bracket exposure 0.3 EV. I also noticed I could change that to 3 or 5 shots and change the exposure increment from 0.3 to 0.5 to 0.7 to 1 to 2 EV.
One of my work mates is very keen on growing roses. One day I mentioned I grow roses in the garden bed in the balcony in the rented apartment. When I explained that I do nothing to maintain the two plants which produce red and pink roses the look on my friend’s face was priceless.
I grew up in Brisbane and spent 12 formative years in Darwin. These are places near beaches. As a teenager and young adult much of my spare time was on the beach and in the surf. It was like my natural habitat. In Darwin going to the beach is potentially dangerous with crocodiles able to chase you on the sand and deadly jellyfish in the water.
Black swans are meant to be rare
Yet here in Australia black swans are common.
