changed subject after I veered off Dan's moons. I have to say
"different moons" as a subject line gave me
some apprehension, knowing the friskiness of some of our members here -
was relieved it was about the eclipse! lol
I got no photo I want to share ... but I did kinda use the same idea as
Dan..
I held a colander in my hand above a piece of cardboard on the floor in
my livingroom where the
sun comes in at a convenient angle at the time of day of the greatest
cover we got in NYC (about 72% I think it was)
then I held the camera up with outstretched arm and lined it up with the
pinhole shots with the camera on live view..
but I had no filter on the lens -- I kinda wasn't planning to do
anything at all. putting the shots of the sun in photoshop I fiddled
with adjustments until I could see the shadow
had planned on trying it with the point and shoot canon sx120 but when I
took it off the shelf it ws on the strap got caught on something and the
camera ended up flying across the room landing with a thud... never to
be used again.
at least I Could open the battery/card chamber to get my flash card out.
The good news is that i was able to replace it for $45 on ebay and
already have it. That camera is my "emergency" walkabout camera that is
light enough for me carry when I got out to do chores...
The dead camera won't turn on at all.. I'm sure it would cost more to
get it fixed tahn I paid for the replacement.
I was pretty upset on Monday - but more upset than I should have been
for what happened to the camera...
I found out on Wed morning that one of my closest friends mother died on
Tuesday.. she was quite elderly
and I knew she had been taken to intensive care, but she had hoped to
live, she had said a while back, to see
a certain person out of office... no luck there. She was 94, having
turned that age in mid August.
Still don't have a landline phone! The latest is a major cable was
messed up and the latest date for
returned service is Sept 14th. at least it saved me a bit of money
I'm furiously working on some stuff on the create photo calendars site
that Jeffrey just said thank you to me for
on the list. Will reveal if I get it done in the next few days...
