"Mirrorless" and Full Frame Thoughts

Spending a lot of time looking at the benefits and reviews of mirrorless and full frame cameras. I found a lot of information and after many hours in this endeavor, I am still not ready to make a decision. One thing I do know the camera companies are proud of the merchandise. Here are some of the websites I have found that has some good information.

Catch Up 2

Here is some more on my fall Catch up.
My wife always enjoys Christmas Lights. So I took her out to Magnolia Texas where a Mr. Gullo has a large display. I know the best time to shoot Christmas lights is during the Golden Hour or Blue hour. But we just had to go when we had time to look and take pictures at that time. Here are a few I shot that night, all hand-held forgot my tripod.

Catch Up

I've not been very good at adding to my blog this fall. Probably could think up lots of excuses, but, really just been lazy. With this in mind, I will be adding some of my fall adventures over the few days.

Thanksgiving weekend I went to Huntsville State Park with NANPA (information on this organization can be found on the right side of this blog.) There were some Texas "Fall Colors", not as vivid as in the Northeast, but you do with what you have dealt to you. The high point for me was shooting through a crystal ball. I enjoyed it so much I came home and ordered my own globe.

Shooting Christmas

Last year (November 8, look in the archives off to the right) I collected some articles and Youtube stuff about shooting Christmas. Well, some things never change, so I challenge you to look back at those articles to refresh yourself to get ready for the great shooting season of Christmas. I have to admit I am not a great fan of the commercial side of Christmas, BUT I do love the little kids and the mystery of Christmas in their little young lives. In our immediate family, all my children and grandchildren in Texas are past the age of Christmas magic, so I have to rely on other peoples kids and grandkids to take pictures of kids Christmas mystery. Here are some links to more Christmas (Holiday shooting):
