  1. You seem to be having fun with the camera. Good on you.

  2. Indeed! Much fun. Fun with Photoshop too. Carolyn suggests that I take a movie of the birds with her camera. I took one in Bulgaria, while we were on the highway, but it was inadvertent (and I didn't even know at the time that I had taken one). Huge file (around 130 megabytes) for less than a minute and a half. Fun probably, also, to find out how to post a movie to my blog....I assume that I can.
        But do you take a movie, or make one?

  3. I have taken a few movies (short ones) and have posted them on my blog. Not hard to do. You can either post it to YouTube and link to it or post it direct to your blog.

  4. Thanks, Steve. I do see now that I can upload a movie file to my blog. I've never uploaded anything to YouTube.
        I took seven movies yesterday, and they seemed at the time to be short, but in slow-down mode, they feel long to view, mainly because there are more seconds of relative inactivity than exciting seconds of birds in flight. I want to get a more "perfect" movie before I post something. I'm thinking I'll make many very short movies (two or three seconds of shoot time) and trust that one of them will be "exciting" to view. (The size of each of the seven I took yesterday is about 6 or 7 megabytes.)
        Also, I'm not pleased with the focus. I think that has something to do with my shooting in extreme zoom.
        I've been googling to learn how I might edit a .mov file to remove the "dead spots." Still looking.
