Description

Knock knock. Who's there? Interrupting cow. Interrupting cow wh... MOOO! I know kind of silly I saw it in a movie recently called Half Nelson, pretty good movie by the way. Anyways this photo reminded me of a that joke. I promised Bill ( bmac62) that I would share a few tips from class so Bill this is for you and anyone else that wants them. Our first class was Intro to Digital and we basically went over our cameras the buttons, settings what they do, which to ignore, such as in camera editing their advise there was not to use it. Because the camera in most cases saves the edited photo and no copy, so then if you try to edit it on your computer you won't have the original to work with, so I agree with that. In the next course Organize, Print, Share we went over how to organize our photos, how to save them where to save them. A few tips there were: First of all always SAVE your work, not just on your computer, how many of us have lost work we didn't save I know I have and its heartbreaking to lose a whole day or months of photos. They advised to save them three ways and while it sounds awful time consuming if you are consistent with it, it really isn't. 1.) save them first on a disc we were advised to use Verbatim +R DVD's and were told to stay away from Memorex that they are basically nice coasters LOL. 2.) Then to save them on a flash drive. 3.) Then lastly and they highly recommended this was to purchase an external hard drive and save all work on that. I checked around you can purchase some decent ones for around $70.00 to $100.00 US dollars. Another tip we were told is to NEVER use the USB cord that comes with the camera but to use a card reader, which looks very similar to a flash drive but you insert memory card into it and then into your camera, reason being is that the camera can malfunction or if your batteries are low while transferring it could cause you to lose some of or all of your photos during transfer, the instructor said he did it once shot a wedding and lost them all, lesson learned. Well there are a few tips some I am sure you have heard before, but if not I hope they help someone, oh one last tip we were told, carry a cloth diaper or two with you should you take your camera to the beach... why... you ask one to wrap the camera in to absorb moisture and to protect it the other you can use to clean the camera, because the fibers are so soft.. LOL Thanks for your views and comments of my recent work I really appreciate you all.

A nice image. She's probably looking at you and thinking, 'Why is that other cow standing on her hind legs?' Your joke reminds me of another one - when cows laugh does milk come out of their nose? Keep it up, I really enjoy your work.

Looks like the cow is not amused by your joke. lol Your great shots of beautiful Tennessee make my 'we're moving' anticipation even greater. I'd upload the images of the bear in Cades Cove but they're not as sharp/clear as they could be.

Cool shot and great info! I bought an external hard drive in July. (I got the camera in May, PhotoShop in June, and the hard drive in July. It's now August...hmmm. Oh, right, I had to have my car in the shop. Forget August. Sometimes dull reality creeps in.) MOOO!

Always love a cow looking at you with those big innocent eyes. Now, that I've read your class notes I am feeling quite good. I am on track in all areas except the cloth diaper. That would be a great thing to add in the camera bag for sure. Thanks Lynell. You are going to really enjoy this class and most of the people in it!

the angle and frontality of the cow are striking, and you got really nice detail too. With the cow looking at you this way, it seems way too powerful for that scrawny little fence, a nice juxtaposition of opposites. And it's nice that you continued the peach-pink hue of the fence post into the frame and "moo," et al. I read your tips about cameras, and it looks like dig. cameras have the same caveats as computers. So different from film days, isn't it. (I mean non-digital film.) I was in a darkroom several times, back in the early 1400s, and I ruined my share of pictures—many of them not mine, lol, after which the photographers said they'd kill me if I ever came anywhere near the place again...But boy what a different world from discs and Photoshop...Anyway, it's a strong frontal shot, it stands with a real ornery eye-to-eye presence, and it's neat to see all the detail on that big beast. I don't see a whole lotta cows here in downtown chicago, so it's always nice to see just how complex—and massive—these beasts really are. (Lynell, strictly because of time, I'm going to have to move on. I'll try to finish here soon. It's so hard when I'm offline for days, catching up takes a while. But I see everything when it goes up even when I can't comment, that much is absolute; and you know how I've followed your gallery since the first time I saw it. Hopefully I can catch up in the next day or two. Hope your day in Tennessee is a good one. Some serious heat is coming, hope you stay cool!)
