A Topsy-turvy World


Where has the day gone? Here I am at the computer, and it's nearly time to make dinner. I'm going to make stroganov burgers...grilled mushrooms, mushroom sauce, swiss cheese, and sour cream atop the burger on a wheat bun. I can't figure out where the time went today. I just finished resizing my photos from my walk in the cold wind today. It rained heavily early this morning and some sleet close by where we live [just a few blocks away].  Yes, that's how cold it was.

Anyway, this will be a short post today. Yesterday [Tuesday], I walked on Mustang Island, stopping along the beach at sunrise. Then, walked several birding areas, and finished with my step count at Harbor Community Park in Port A.

Several pelicans seen along the ferry landing;  I took a few photos, and then went to the car and brought out my nifty lens ball turning the world-
...topsy-turvy.

  6. I have never used any setting other than auto and have not experimented with settings. Are you making your shutter speed high and lowering your aperture as suggested in the lens ball page?
    This is going to be another world for me to play with and I really like your results!!!

    1. Golly...that's a good question. I just adjust 'til the view is good. Depends on the distance/use of tripod or not/lighting etc.

    1. That would defeat the purpose of this type of photography, wouldn't it?

    1. You can use just about anything for a 'stand'. How 'bout a glass custard cup?
