Well, it's been an 'eventful' day...ugh.

--Didn't get the job (Coleen did, which I am glad that one of us got it). So now I get to try for her position, which will open up.
--Since I will be working 20 hours once we are in the new building, I qualify for medical/dental/vision insurance and for retirement. I already had a headache, so an attempt to make sense of it just made it worse.
--Got a DVR hooked up from DISH. Hmm. Supposed to work on both TVs, but the guy never set up the remote for the second TV, so I have no idea how to access it. (He came while I was gone), so need to make a phone call at some point.
--I got the last parking place at the little restaurant I go for lunch, overlooking a very nasty car crash. Got to watch them tow the car and everything /sarcasm.

I think that is it *yawn*

So, here are some pics I took last week outside the car window:

Yes, it's blurry, but I think it is pretty. I was surprised that none of my pics really blurred, so I did this as a test:


I love this road. It really does curve around and there is a fairly steep drop off and a lovely view...I tried getting a pic of just around the curve, but a phonepoll for in my way.

What kind of a camera are you using?

[evila-elf.livejournal.com]

Kodak Easy Share Digital camera that Mom got on sale for 100 bucks :-)

Ah okay. Yeah those are not built for image stabilization or action shots, I don't think.

I've taken some pictures outside the car window when we have been moving and haven't really had a problem with things blurring, provided they were a distance and not a straight shot out the window to the side. This was straight and with close trees...I wanted to see how bad it would blur lol

Intentional blurring is fun.

Really it's easier to control when you have a camera where you can modify your shutter speed.

Try doing some at night, with traffic lights and the like.

Pics when it is dark don't really turn out all that well, even with lights from cars.

The time I found best is when the sun isn't all the way down, but it's just dark enough for the cars to have their lights on.

Well, if I ever go driving when it is that light/dark lol and can manage to picture take while driving :)
