This was taken somewhere around my hotel in Alexandria, VA. I head for Denver today and sign the lease on my apartment and give them money. I will be moving a few things into the place but not planning on moving the bigger stuff until next week. I am looking forward to being closer to the airport and not have to commute for an hour and a half. Hope everyone has a good week.
As a flight attendant we usually cruise at an altitude from 25,000 to 36,000 feet. The office view from this tubicle is far better than the view from any of the cubicles I’ve worked in the past. However, I must admit to having a fear of heights. Let me explain. When standing on a second story balcony you will find me tightly gripping the guard rail. Yet, I do not have any problem looking out the window of an aircraft at 32,000 feet. So, while on a walk I noticed these two window washers as they swung back and forth to clean these windows. Sorry, but not me!
I’m finding it takes more time to shoot images with this G12 than it does with my D300. It feels so awkward to me. I’m used to raising a camera to my eye, framing and shooting. This was taken on a walk around our hotel in Santa Barbara. Again I do like the quality of the images.
Some subjects do not want their photo taken of them. In the image above my sisters cat Willow, is giving me that annoyed look as I take practice shots of her. This has come about with the purchase of the Canon Powershot G12. Yes, a point and shoot. I have been looking at buying one for quite some time and finally weakened enough to lay out the cash for it. I’ve never owned a point and shoot but so many of you seem to like the options they offer. I plan on using it while I fly, making it so much easier to pack and carry than my DSLR is. I chose the G12 since they no longer have the S90 in production and the S95 and G12 were almost the same price. I also could not afford the M8. 🙂
