Turtle Chillax

Turtle Chillax, a photo by miss-u on Flickr.

Saturday's temps reached the hundreds and I needed to find open space with shade or cooler air. I left my apt to walk through Central Park, mostly to get to the other side.

This time I walked a different route than I had the few times I crossed at this section in the past. I ended up waking by the Great Lawn and on the northern side of the turtle pond. Previously, i had always walked on the southern side and ended up at Belvedere Castle.

I walked around and found a spot where people could actually walk into the pond if they were crazy or not from NYC. I walked up to the edge of the rock that met up with the water. I saw this turtle. As soon as I walked closer, a little boy jumped in the way saying "no no no" and would not let me get closer and take a photo.

I moved over to where a mama duck was with her 3 baby ducks. I took a few photos before the little boy came over to where I was and was attempting to pick up a stick that was covered in something that looked like seaweed. I took the chance to move back over to the turtle to take a few photos before the little boy noticed I left. I took a couple a shots before the little boy noticed, came back to the turtle and attempted to feed it the seaweed on the stick.

I want!

Yeah it's been a while since I've posting here. I suck at non-random blogging. I like doing brain dumps and posting what is on my mind at the moment. Which is the format used on twitter, tumblr, and Google Plus. I hope to post more art (photography, Design, Audio, Video) related post in the future

Delete Ruthlessly

Digital Photography School - Delete Ruthlessly

I try to use this method. I take a lot of photos and then dump them onto my computer(s). I rarely get time to edit and post the really good ones. So I have tons of photos that need to be deleted, edited and posted. I'm try to delete them when they are still in the camera so I have less work and less photos taking up space.

Pentax Q

Pentax intros Q, world's smallest interchangeable lens digital camera (hands-on video) -- Engadget

I like that it is very small. I love taking photos but my Nikon DSLR is big and bulky and sometimes causes me to walk around with two bags. Even though the sensor is smaller which means it will capture a smaller area, it is great to have for a "photo walk" camera. It is also great as a replacement for a point and shoot if you like having manual control over your photos. If I go to an event like a wedding or something i'll most likely still bring my DSLR.

I've been looking for a point and shoot camera for a while. I know I will miss the ability to have more control over my photos so I never bought one. I was thinking of getting a Canon G11 or the Nikon P6000 or P7000, but now I might just wait and get this since I can change the lens :-). I need to learn more about it before I dish out all this money.

Delta Faucet "Hands" TV Ad

Visually I like this commercial ... and I would like that faucet when I get a home. By that time, faucets will probably have voice recognition. I'm really starting to get the homeowner bug.

Blogger for Andriod

I just found out there is a Blogger app for Andriod phones. This is what I am currently using to type this post while I sit in my bed trying to fully awake myself. Is this new? If it's not, why didn't anyone tell me before ?!?!

I think I may never travel with a laptop anymore if I go away. My Epic has wifi, 4G, a keyboard, and a great screen. I can take photos and edit them all from my phone, thanks to picsay pro. Then I can post to flickr, blogger, tumblr, twitter and/or facebook all from my phone. :-D
