It has taken me some time to get back here after a bit of a personal challenge this year. Finding a new job is soooo stressful!! Luck has it that i have settled in permanently at a wonderful clinic close to home. The physicians and staff are wonderful! All worries aside it is now time to concentrate on my second love. Painting and Photography. Last week i took a big leap and traded in my Olympus E-510 for the new Nikon D3200 24.3 mega pixel DSLR camera. I was never really happy with the Olympus user interface. The camera took beautiful photos but it was not user friendly at all. This was my first DSLR camera and the learning curve was long and strenuous to say the least. So much so that I still feel confused over using some features and the camera in general. The Nikon on the other hand is much better. There is still a learning curve but it seems to be much easier so far. Each of the basic settings are simple to navigate and understand. The only thing i have noticed so far is the battery life is not as long as the Olympus.Thanks to Ebay that issue was easily resolved for under $20.00. Despite what anyone says i have no problem ordering from China, Hong Kong etc...Look at your battery and camera to see where it is made! Great prices and in most cases free shipping. Now having said that there are some great deals to be had for filters too. Just purchased three brand name (Hoya, Tiffen) filters from the USA for under ten dollars each. Who says you have to buy new. We all have a budget..lol..Look forward to getting out and getting some photos this weekend. The weather has been dismal and I have been under the weather as well.
If anyone has this camera and has any advice please comment. Thats it for now! TTYL :-)
Tuesday, March 8, 2016, was a day for exploring the shores of The Bay Of Fundy near Alma and Cape Enrage. The sun was shining and it felt much like a spring afternoon. The tide was on the way out but only one-quarter of the way. It really is fascinating how fast and far the water travels. It was not until I witnessed this for myself, that the full realization occurred. You must be careful when out along these shores, especially if you cannot swim. This first photo was taken at a place called Dennis Beach. WOW was all I could say when I got out of the car and looked over the cliff! The view is incredible in all directions! Access to the beach is very limited and I could not manage the steep incline down, not to mention getting back up. A shame really because the painting and photo ops are truly endless. Perched at the top where this photo was taken is breathtaking and will provide many opportunities to paint this summer. I certainly can envision different scenarios with the changi
