I think this might have been our first photo Christmas card. It may have been our only Christmas photo card. I am not sure why we did not do it each year.
In the photo is my two oldest kids. LaDawna on the left and Hilary on the right.
I took the photo when we were on vacation in the Ozarks.
I see that YouTube supports 3D video. They tell how to do 3D video. I have never been a fan of 3D movies but I think 3D videos on YouTube would be interesting. I would love to try it.
YouTube has a help section and they talk about having two of the same sort of camera and then using those to make a 3D movie. That seems to me a bit hard.
There is a Fuji 3D camera that will make 3D videos for YouTube. It is the Fujifilm FinePix Read 3d W3 Camera.
“The FinePix REAL 3D W3 steps it up from its predecessor with the ability to shoot high-resolution 3D photos and movies in 3D HD at 720p, with the help of a new RP (Real Photo) Processor. It also sports a new Mini HDMI port for easy playback on most 3D television systems and an Autostereoscopic 3D Widescreen 3.5" LCD. All components make for stunning 3D still photos and movies that can be viewed and enjoyed through an easy connection between the FinePix REAL 3D W3 and their 3D TV, or printed in stunning 3D quality.
Fujifilm's FinePix REAL 3D technology captures true 3D thanks to its use of twin 10 MegaPixel CCD sensors and dual FUJINON 3x optical zoom lenses (35-105mm) that are spaced 75 mm apart to create realistic images that are similar to how human eyes see them. The synchronized control of the twin CCD sensors releases the left and right shutters at the same time. This technology produces a synchronized image with a natural sense of depth, and allows easy capture of 3D movies and photos in HD, and also provides the beneficial unique 2D Advanced Shooting modes.
The FinePix REAL 3D W3 also comes equipped with a 3.5" high resolution Autostereoscopic 3D Widescreen LCD with 1150K resolution that displays high contrast images and movies that can be viewed in 3D without the need of 3D glasses. This new lenticular system uses rows of convex lenses that create a binocular parallax effect to produce a realistic 3D image with less cross-talk and flicker.
Features:
Exposure mode Programmed AE, Aperture Priority AE, Manual AutoFocus mode White balance Automatic scene recognition - Preset - Fine, Shade, Fluorescent light (Daylight), Fluorescent light (Warm white), Fluorescent light (Cool white), Incandescent light, Underwater lighting Flash modes Red-eye removal OFF - Auto, Forced Flash, Suppressed Flash, Slow Synchro. Red-eye removal ON - Red-eye Reduction Auto, Red-eye”
I always like to read customer reviews on Amazon. There are none yet for the camera.
I did find some YouTube Video reviews of the camera.
I am playing with my camera. This is a pretty neat ability of the camera. I just need to find some view of the Fort Worth skyline and then I can make a masthead using this function on my camera.
I am studying the pdf how to file on my new Sony camera. I always turn off digital zoom. I just use the optical zoom. I also turn off flash. I do not like flash and never have…even before digital cameras. In the old film days I was one of those people that liked to shoot film using just available light. I also liked black and white film for the longest time. I did get into color for a long time and that was an error.
My oldest daughter has my love of taking photos. One reason, I think, is I gave my kids my old cameras. I oldest daughter loved my old (film) camera and was late going to digital.
Digital is so great. You can take all the photos you want and not have to worry about film cost. You can see them right away and get them on your computer. It is so easy to share them with people.
I loved 35 mm SLR cameras. (I wish I could afford a digital SLR camera.) I think the camera I enjoyed most, for some reason, was an old twin-lens reflex camera (TLR).
Now I never owned a Rolleiflex. I had a cheap one from Sears or Wards. I think it cost a little over $100.00 at the time.
I took a great photo of my father with the TLR camera. I got right up in his face with the camera. I think it is the best photo of my father.
I always pass on my cameras to my kids.
I think those days are over. They can afford their own cameras now.
Plus one of my sons does not love cameras the way I do. He is happy with some cheap piece of crap. It drives me crazy. He makes a 100K a year and can afford any camera he wants and he buys the cheapest digital camera that WalMart sells. My other son I have given him a couple great digital cameras and I have told him what great cameras they are and he turns around right away and sells them on eBay.
I will keep my Casio EX-Z1080 camera. I love some of the functions of the camera. The "BestShot" menu is great. It has 40 types of photo shots you can take and you can pick them from the menu. It has eBay, photo IDs, YouTube, food, business cards, white boards etc. It is great.
I guess I will carry the Sony with me now all the time and the Casio will be the camera I pick up when I want to do something special with it. My ex-wife calls me to come over and take some photos of stuff she is going to sell on eBay (VHS tapes, DVDs etc) and I will use the Casio for those shots.
I do love photography. There are some great photography blogs on the web.
Ken Layne post to Wonkette some photos and text and here it is. I love it.
"Oh, ye Armies of the Night! Rise up … or, hell, just remain seated. Remain seated, ye lardbottoms, and also stick to daylight hours, so you don’t run into each other, on those ridiculous scooters paid for by Socialist Medicare. Wonkette’s photographic war correspondent Dana Ryan is already just cold shooting pictures of the most historical/miraculous event ever, which starts tomorrow we think?"

"The Lincoln Memorial is truly a beautiful and inspiring setting for any rally at Our Nation’s Soviet Capitol, which is on the other side of the National Mall. Is there anything that could improve the dramatic visuals of the majestic Greek Revival temple with its Doric columns and solemn Colossus seated within?
How about putting up some shitty posters with childish caricatures of Lincoln, to block the actual Memorial from the wilting gaze of the wilted attendees? It’s an idea so stupid, it just might work! (If by “work” you mean, “hide the Lincoln Memorial, lest it distract from the radiant beauty of Glenn Beck.”)"

That is funny …the woman on the scooter. There is another photo of her next to another person in a scooter. I am sure Medicare paid for both those scooters.
Also the woman is sitting on an American flag. It is dragging on the tire of the scooter.
(OK OK, I saw it. It says "Rent Me" on the scooter. Smile! If I were like the Republicans I would have just cropped that out of the photo. Smile!)
That crap they put up in front of the Lincoln Memorial is super dumb. If you are going to be at the Lincoln Memorial do not put up crap in front of it. It looks like he is trying to hide it.
From the looks of the set…I do not think this event is going to be a success. We will know in a few hours.
I am going to say that if Glenn Beck has 50K or less people at this rally then it will be an embarrassment for him. I would think he would be humiliated. In case you are wondering it is reported that MLK had 250K at his speech.
If he has a 100K then in terms of numbers I will call that a success for him.
I made it to Haulover Beach one time. That was about 2000 or 2001 and I was living in Orlando (FL). I lived in Miami (FL) later for about six years and I never made it one time to Haulover Beach.
I just found this great photo on Wikipedia. It was taken on July 11, 2009 for the world record in skinny dipping at Haulover Beach (FL). The author of the photo is "Elmschrat."
This photo just makes you feel the fun of being at the beach. I miss Miami. I wish I was living right next to Haulover Beach and I could just walk over and enjoy the beach.
This was a special event and it is sort of a rule that you do not take photos at Haulover Beach. I know you have seen five or six of me at the beach but there were not many people there and the photos were taken fast and then the camera was put away.
I was not going to comment on this story. I been reading that she is the number one thing being searched for on Google.
As I understand the story Jessi Slaughter is 11 years old. She has been online and on a number of different sites. She has been doing live video and posting videos.
Now keep in mind she is an 11 year old girl. Well lots of people online decided that they did not like her. They left comments and messages saying they did not like her.
Then she left a video like this one.
Well there seem to be not just crazy sick people online but they are working with each other. They set out to find out her name, address and phone number and other information about her. It appears it was very simple to get all the information about her. They shared the information with each other and posted the information. They then did everything they could do to attack her and hurt her and cause problems for her.
There were phone calls with threats. They had over 200 pizzas sent to her home.
Then she makes this video.
Here is a video that must have been made right after the one above and this is the one when the dad goes nuts.
When this video was posted on YouTube then people started making fun of her father and there are a lot of videos on YouTube making fun of him and what he said.
Now at this point I am thinking OK the mother and father know that they messed up big time by letting their 11 year old daughter get on the Internet and then the dad goes nuts and just makes things worst by letting her make the video and he gets in the video.
So I am thinking they will cut off any access to the Internet for her. They will remove what they can of her stuff on the Internet and shut down the accounts that they can shut down. Well I was wrong and then that is why I decided to post about this matter.
She is still online and doing live video and her mother and father know about it and are in the next fucking room.
Here is part of a live streaming event she made after the yelling and screaming video above.
VIDEO HAS BEEN REMOVED BY YOUTUBE
This is not good. This is not going to end up good for mother, father and Jessi Slaughter.
I am sure we are going to seeing and reading more about this entire matter.
Here is the photo of the day.
"The flower of a Pig's Ear (Cotyledon orbiculata), a succulent plant belonging to the Crassulaceae family. The bell-shaped flowers are small, usually less than 3 cm (1.2 in) in length, and droop from the top of a 60 cm (24 in) tall stalk. They are usually orange-red in colour but yellow varieties also exist."

April 21st is the 100th anniversary of the death of author Mark Twain.
In 1509 Henry VIII became King of England. In 1918 on this date the German fighter pilot known as "The Red Baron" was shot down and killed.
"As ash from Iceland's Eyjafjallajokull volcano continued to keep European airspace shut down over the weekend, affecting millions of travelers around the world, some government agencies and airlines clashed over the flight bans. Some restricted airspace is now beginning to open up and some limited flights are being allowed now as airlines are pushing for the ability to judge safety conditions for themselves. The volcano continues to rumble and hurl ash skyward, if at a slightly diminished rate now, as the dispersing ash plume has dropped closer to the ground, and the World Health Organization has issued a health warning to Europeans with respiratory conditions. Collected here are some images from Iceland over the past few days. (35 photos total)…"
