It was a fantastic day of picture taking of "all the friends" ( Hollys Birthday Flight! ) ( Her first flight at this age!! ) and Ted and and and ... so many fun things going on at the same time. So many premium events happening altogether and the running ( slowly ) around trying to get "ALL THE SHOTS" was a wipe out time. Some balloons we have not seen out much and great Pilot and Crew work. 777 shots on the main and 65 of the Fisheye.
Then there were the skies which were turbulent and full of moisture but even the virga got in line...broke in sections and dispersed. Off to the North and West the clouds went flat and high and round but stayed away until we were done and gone. There were also some interesting things laying about wherever and whenever I stopped to catch a shot of something I thought was worth it and interesting.
I edited a bunch but only loaded about 15 to Facebook for now. Things like this can be overdone. I will load some of the others later but will hold back with posting 50 of the same thing. I did get some really different angles and I did try to push it as far as it would go. Below are the outtakes I really liked... Not the uuber favs, but cool ones.
The Touched Clouds
Pibal
Missing Instructions.
Spirals in Nature.
Fallout Flashbacks
Bottlecaps out int he desert.... very big flashbacks.
Fuzzy Whites.
Knotholes in the Dust.
Prettys
I didn't crop any of the shots. I would if I felt it later maybe... Oh...except the first one. As normal there are a lot of extra shots to get through and edit. I was playing with reverse curve processing to pull more out of the shadows.
I am pretty exhausted. I really pushed it since I felt pretty good until I walked back into the house. Even after a shower and a nap I am feeling on the edge or ugh. Not sick but very uncomfortable. Something like overheated and now the stomach is getting fussy. A semi reverse of Wednesday.
Pretty much going to sit here and whine for a while....
I haven't even gone and looked at the tech sites yet... Maybe Ill do that next. A quick comment of the tech thats coming out now.... its all rather boring. Watches and pads and boring. There isn't anything good tech-wise coming out... Not really.. nada.... Cameras... little mods and super extra costs and in the end they have removed other things but still want more money ( we give you more focal points but lower the megapixels kid of thing )... for what? Computers.. meh. Car tech.. meh.... house tech... meh meh...
Might be the way I feel.
Lets get out there and see what toys there are to find.... Hard drives? Vid cams? tablets?
Oh.. my facebook banner and logo today.... Nice close up of the Sandia mountain ridges. Pretty cool with the clouds low and wandering... and I got pachisi on my computer again, so yay.. I have played three times. Trying to behave and not play it all the time... which seems easier now.
Lovely details.
I lost that game. Sigh
