Take a Peek

Peek into places like my red barn, find how else you can take photos, what other locations to take pictures of the same item or building or person.

Think unequally, different, where would people not look to take a picture, and try to go there if it is legal of course:) Do not invade someones privacy please.

I need to learn more about glare with windows, (I had a camera that automatically got rid of glare from glass), but this camera does not do it. I was more interested in capturing what I could see through the window; the "idea" of the photo was my main interest not necessarily the quality of picture but that wouldn't hurt if I get how to set my camera right. I have the Canon Rebel (I can't think of the model) and I was playing with all of the settings yesterday. Upteen million it seems like.

Anyway, I love looking through doorways, windows, spaces between buildings, gates, fence openings…

Then I snap the picture.

When taking pictures of the red barn in Rockport, I found that the building was not conveniently placed for some of the shots I wanted. Perhaps I liked the color of the buildings, or the bushes and scenery around, but when I went to take the shot, the red barn was cut off. It would not have mattered if I had a different lense. I don't know what building was built first, the red barn or the house I was standing in front of. I tried anyway. It is fun to try.

I can always do a painting where I see the red barn in between the buildings just with the right proportions if I want to. It is my painting, right?:)

New Hampshire-Winnipesaukee our Mini Vacation

I have been sick for a couple of days, migraines, and I have a terrible case of poison sumac. Not knowing if I was going to be able to do anything for the weekend being Labor day weekend, and having to cancel getting together with best of friends, my husband and I took a ride where I was able to rest in the van and look at the sites. The weather was wonderful, and we got to just sit on a bench for awhile and rest. We got stuck in traffic for 1 1/2 so I was glad I had my Prims Somerset Magazine. I looked at that till I could see no more and rested the way home.

I wanted to take pictures to share with you all and I got my camera out at a little dock my husband and I stop at every year, went to take a picture, and realized "my memory card is back home in the computer". Oh well, no pictures this time around.

I was able to find a couple of great deals for Christmas presents at a little shop that has sales for the end of the season. Not great discounts yet, but if we go up north for the turning of the leaves, I will probably stop in there again. Today was 50% of some things and 25% off of other things.

So always keep in mind when you go on vacation during the change of the season, get your gifts. Less people and crowds and you can find some unique items. I did! And had a great mini one day vacation. Check out the East coast, the travel maps of New Hampshire, pick a place like Lake Winnipesaukee, watch the boats go up and down the harbour and wave at the people, check out the local restaurants, (we found on on the beach) and enjoy!
