Spur of the Moment

Marie called this morning and suggested we head out before the rains came this afternoon...so 45 minutes after her call Marie, Carolyn, and I werer on the road. It was so spur of the moment that I ended up not getting my little point-and-shoot camera into my camera bag...left it on the couch. I had been arranging cameras and lenses into my camera bag and put it aside till I found a space for it...well...it never got into a space! Probably a good thing as I end up going to that camera over my other ones because of the powerful zoom lens. This way I just took pictures with my new camera and its newer zoom lens (not as far reaching) and another camera with a prime lens to get wide-angle shots. I have been "playing" with my photos since getting back and am pretty pleased with most of them. We did NOT miss the rain. We started out with no rain and took a few photos prior to the rain getting to us and we stayed in rain for most of the two hours that we were out on the highways and byways. So raindrops did get in a good many of the photos. I did figure out about getting location information "into" my photos. I think that my cameras are using their GPS or my iPhone's GPS...but the camera software does not show it on my iPad. I finally figured out that when I was able to see location on the iPad that I had been using either my iPad or iPhone to take the photos. So today I would at specific places take a photo with my iPhone and then the location was recorded on that photo...and...when I opened up the info about the photo, there is a map that I can click on and the photo is shown on the road that we are traveling on. So that "problem" has been solved! A barn trip = a good way to spend a rainy morning. i don't think that rained at my house while we were gone...didn't look like when I got home and the rain gauge showed no evidence. But later this afternoon, another storm blew through here and we did get some more rain. Carolyn needed to get home and we passed her house (and Marie's) before getting back to Lowe's, where I had parked my car. we dropped Carolyn off and then Marie took me back to my car...but we decided on our way to my car that Mexican sounded good so we went to a Mexican restaurant before heading to our respective homes. When I got home, I started transferring photos from my camera to my iPad...took a while...and while waiting I dozed off and got in a little nap. When I woke up those photos had transferred and I then transferred the photos from the other camera and the iPhone. I definitely have some new fodder for future blogs! To be continued! Be safe! Be well! Be cautious!
