Just a quick post - photrade pictures

I'm finally getting around to put up aother post here on the blog. I am going to post pictures from other user's on Photrade that I like, from my contacts, or just random photos I like. The one I am posting today is from "Elisa", "After the Party". From her color gallery. I like her pictures, lots of experimenting. I am always looking forward to seeing the newest picture she puts up there on Photrade. I'll be out taking some pictures soon, and then posting them here again too.
I hadn't been out taking pictures for awhile, the weather, a cold, a toothache, and now hard disk (storage) space getting low, has been holding me back.
That's all for now, be back soon...
Heres is a picture of Tims (see attribution below picture), he made a comment on this post, said he liked the idea of featuring other photographers photos on my blog and is thinking of doing the same. Thanks Time. I like this HDR picture Tim took at the Texas Classic Car Show 2008 Rudy’s Country Store and Barbeque make a wish foundation classic cars. I would like to take more HDR pictures, but I will have to upadate my camera to one that can take bracketed exposures. Right now the Nikon D40x I use, I have to combine the exposures in the camera. Nice picture Tim! Thanks for sharing!

iPhone Home Page 3 - Japanese Language and Photography reference page


Here is a screen shot of my iPhone Home page number 3. I have a lot of useful Japanese Language reference applications, and study aids. This along with my "Kanji as Art" theme is helping me learn a little bit of Japanese, and also Chinese languages. I also have some books, texts that are very good too. I should have my Art table cleared off this weekend, then I can start practice writing the Kangi, and Kana scripts. I also have two photography reference applications on this page. The one marks your gps location for later use with the picture, and the other helps you choose the correct exposure, aperture, ... and almost made for film, but very helpful for taking manual pictures with my DSLR. The iFlippr app has some Japanese, and Chinese flip cards.

I blogged about this earlier, about how I verified for a guy that his Tattoo in Kanji, actually meant "Eternal Life" in Chineese too. I used my iPhone application, Jishabot.
The iPhone screen shot at the top today is of the Kanji Flip iPhone application. The Kanji shown is "South".

Picture Changes

I changed out some pictures tonight and replaced with some other pictures. I added the photo above of the Farm lane taken with my Sigma Wide Angle 17-35mm lens. I combined 2-3 pictures together to get it this wide. This picture is also to remind me I have to get out there and take some wide angle fall foilage sceneary pictures. I also took off the caterpillar picture and replaced it with a blue wine grape, to contrast with the purple wine grape below it. Pictures of the new car soon to be posted.
