Supergirl (aka daughter K) bought herself a new camera
She took a photo of the moon.
YOU CAN SEE THE CRATERS!
That's the kind of zoom I want.
I'm shopping for a new camera tomorrow.
dented or otherwise damaged cans, what do you do?
This article in yesterday's paper caught my eye. Looks like mould to me. But. Forget the sensational headline for a minute and focus on the can. Notice how it's a little blackened around the bottom rim? I'm not sure it shows, but it looks like the can has been standing in wet conditions, the wrapper looks a little wrinkled too at top and bottom. Was it like this when it was bought? If yes, why buy it? If no, then how was it stored in the home environment? Use by date. Usually irrelevant, unless the can has been opened. We all know that once a can is opened the contents need to be used immediately, especially baby foods. She mentions somewhere in the story that the contents appeared "a bit runny". This happens when food is given to the baby directly from the can, (or jar) with saliva from the baby's mouth being transferred to the contents, which then begins to break down the molecular structure of the canned food. This isn't immedia...
BIG WOW! My late Dad would speed right over to get to learn about that camera ;-)
ReplyDeleteHe had celestrons and all and loooved to watch the sky, the moon, the stars, the sun. I was still a kid, but he invited Ingo over all the time, LOL.
Looking forward to more awesome pics!
Iris Flavia; I've tried to get decent photos of the moon for years, without success. I think because I can't see the horizon from my place, so when I see the moon it is too high up in the sky.
DeleteAs Iris said, wow. That is one serious camera.
ReplyDeleteAndrew; it is a Canon with 50x zoom.
DeleteWow. That is an excellent shot.
ReplyDeleteElephant's Child; isn't it just great? You almost feel you can touch it.
DeleteHoly moly, that puts us right on it. Great shot.
ReplyDeleteArkansas Patti; I wonder if we could see the moon landing site from your side of the world?
DeleteIncredible. OMG for a camera like that. Imagine what else it can do :)

WWW; she has sent two more photos to my phone, the shots are so clear. I ordered the same camera right away.
DeleteOh, my!
ReplyDeletemessymimi; you almost feel you can walk there, right?
DeleteThat shot is beautiful. Well done. My Cannon has a 50x zoom and I have a five or ten year old picture I took. Now, the camera is too heavy for me to hold steady. I do have a tripod...
ReplyDeleteJoanne; I have ordered the same camera and I'll see how it handles, but I think I may have to get a tripod also, because my hands get a teeny bit shaky when I'm trying to hold a focus.
DeleteMy goodness! I wouldn't want to take a close-up of myself with that camera! I get a big enough fright now as it is, just looking in the mirror! :)
ReplyDeleteThat is incredible!
