Spring Is Here
I did put some Scotts on my lawn. My father always said, "Don't feed it and I will not need to mow so much." He was probably right, but it had not been fed in so long. I remember him running the seeder around all the time when I was young. I was scared, so I kept it thin. The lawn is really greening up! It is a darker green. So that has worked out! I think I now have other leaks in the roof at entrance points. I will see if I can plug them. The house is springing leaks all around, but nothing, so far, I can't figure out where and why it's leaking.
My photo editing program. I wish I was with the pros. It does so much, but seems to lack (for all that it has) just the things I need. I may not know the right recipies. I don't know. Sometimes I just don't know about the structure it resides in and what happens to it when photos
change. All I know is when I save a photo or edited photo and re-open it, it never looks just the same, like it is suppose to. And I am not saving JPEG. I'm saving Tiff without compression. The edited look okay, but when they come back, it's like they have been sharpened. And I don't like the sharpening. All I have ever heard about is how to sharpen. I don't like it. It looks casty. It always degrades. I am so into fine fine art and I get the impression that this program is for only the masses. Searching for that one critical fine point. I live in that area! and It just degrades anything I do and that is like saying it stops all of what I wanted to express in that degradation. It's not there! That is what I said about smaller pixels, so the whole thing looks finer. I sat there all day yesterday trying to work up more ponies. And they don't like horses! Ha, it's probably true. But what is wrong with a horse. They are just as much a part of life as anything else! So I will try and find a landscape next
I guess. I had a bad toothache the last two weeks. (I gotten this the last two springs) So my organizing output has slowed. I think I am at 85 or something. It just kills me. When I was in school, art was atainable. You just picked up a pencil or paint or clay. But if you want to take fine art photos, you must spend all this extended money (It never ends!) and still when you get some stuff, it is still not good enough, and you don't get shots. And everybody is, or was, putting stuff up and traveling around showing off their smashing shots. This, some how, is not what is was like.
This photo was worked on. In this sceen, it seems too thick. I set it up and it looked to wide. I looked down at it, standing away from the monitor and it looked better. So then I tried transform. I did both sides. Didn't look right. Then I hit the books and learned to transform both sides at once equally. That looked better. But transforming degrades the pic! What interpolation do you use?...more tests! It what they say right, or is another method better. How does this look on a better screen? I get pissed sometimes. I burned a whole day up on these. I did about 6 photos, but when I put them all together only these look alright to run.
5/6/15 Banging at the typewriter, but the house has sprung a lot of leaks. The stool was the worst. I finally got shut off valve on this too, as the faucets above. Kitchen faucet was changed. Shut off valve for the whole house had to be tightened. (I’d like to do this myself but I don’t really know how and I don’t probably have the tools and sometimes the strength and pressure needed in the back and hands. One well aimed slip could injure a hand! ) An old house just doesn’t stay exactly the same over time. The overhead leak has been caulked. I’m watching that every time I go on the roof. I’ve got a front porch problem and another drain and faucet problem. So I thought I’d oil the garage door…like they say. Then it didn’t work! I just about threw in the towel. I finally called and was instructed on maybe I could fix this myself. This worked like a charm. The grass is green, but no birds are there. I had a start on spring. The back porch cement needed cleaning. But Dad’s fire bricks were tilting in to the house and pouring water into the foundation. So I had to reset
those. I was dead by the time that was done. Dad’s old grill finally lost one of it’s back wheels. So now I’m aimin%g at cleaning the inside of the garage door and the car. I wonder what will break? But I need another picture folder done today too. . 5/26/15 I worked four days, then I worked outside, came in , didn’t feel good. Now …take pics, wash car, photo
organize. Outside! When can I get this off my chest…when. 6/1/15 Sorry no pics-I’m just not orientated! I’m never going to get the organizing done. I’m about 105 with all the yard and job
. I got mad and started
out my new stuff! This is really a bottle neck. I’m tired of waiting. I’m practicing flowers. I don’t know about you, but flower photos are the hardest. To me you need the right kind of flower, you never really know the ap - or bracket many. Do you flash or not? Flash comp? It must be still. You’ve got to think of it just in it’s frame…where do you focus. Will the flash be diffused or not, do you bounce the flash? Flower photography is the most demanding shots I’ve encountered yet. I’d rather bring them into a studio. I’ve gotten flowers, but I don’t feel I have the right equipment or subjects, and there have been many mistakes behind me.:) I don’t have that many.
I don’t feel that great today. I’ve been tired and tired and tired. Outside work is up to speed at this time. I wish I didn’t have to work at a job. 6/8/15
As usual, I can’t load a picture from the library. Is my journal too big? There is absolutely nothing. I’ve got some pics, but no time to devote to putting them up. I’ve never had a life like this where it seems like everyone is pulling my hair in all directions. I have to wash screens. I am seriously thinking of quitting the photo indexing for now. If I get all my sheets done, someone else can do the adding and importing. There is nothing in here! And my posts are worse! :-& My card is filling up. My flowers are better! (You get a good set-up, and the next
shot has a pinpoint bug crawling over!) It’s like they want to be in the shot! I only have seen two deer yet. A skunk raccoon, a possum, hawks, chipmunks, …and a T-Rex autopsy last night! Where did they dream that up! It did look real. I braved to watch, but I went to sleep after they found out what was in his stomach. I hope they run it again…
Bad work week coming. I want the jobs, I just don't want to do them...ha. I've got most of my crossover notes done. I will have to go over my DAM...(digital asset management) things before. This leaves the rest of the data sheet add ons. I think I have some left to do. I'm so sick of it. I've been taking a few pictures and I have gotten a few. Go right back into the office hole. Yesterday it was such that I could go outside and do things. To get outside, and not work.
Work. Can't find a way to trim trees that won't cost sky high. And do it yourself measures will be more work, or won't be able to be pulled off. I don't know yet. Already one girl size tool is not on offer anymore. (maybe somewhere else) Stretch and strain...I don't want to anymore. I don't know what will be the outcome of the trees or house insurance. Then I just have to paint. You know, sometimes I prefer animals, you get an even break with them. You get a rattle or a buzz. A warning, unless you are dinner. Somehow that is more forthright. You can tell, Ha, I am in a bad mood because I have to work 5 days starting tomorrow. I generally not that happy because I want this photo work done and it is not going to budge without another pass. I've got everything set up though. It's just too much work, when I need to be doing other things. I hope I can get it to the second pass. I didn't know indexing would in the end be so elusive.
