I’ve been playing with my cellphone, trying to capture interesting shots. I took both of these yesterday, and both are posted as-is, right out of the phone / camera. The first, was last nights stunning sunset. Even though it was fairly bright at sundown, I set the phone to low light to see what it did. The sunset is the result. It was a little dark, but I liked the colors.

The second image, I left the image on auto, no flash, and just moved the camera quickly as I snapped pictures. I thought this was pretty cool.

Just added a third. I thought the lines and lighting were interesting. (Bastian is getting more than his fair share in the spotlight)
















Love the sunset! No matter how many I see, I am always in awe.
I agree! It’s easy to focus on the technology, and how it allows us to capture amazing scenes,but it is the physical world…. what we capture, that’s really important.
Well are we becoming the techno savvy pirate…good to see Bastian again.
Bastian says “HI” Jo, he really likes you. But then, who wouldn’t.
Awwwwww – that’s nice. Boy kitties love me for some reason.
As do boy Pirates.
Awwwwwwwwwww…well that just made my day. First lunch which was yummy with a friend…then this. I think I like being 54. So far so good.

And why have you not visited the party ????
I put the ‘cuppy cake’ song on there specially for members of the pirate crew.
Been a travel’n man quite a bit lately, don’t have a lot of net time on the road. Heading there now though.
Good…there’s lot’s there to interest a pirate…and kissing !!!!!!!!!!
maybe the pirate tea has something to do with this. . .
If, by Pirate tea, you mean Jameson’s with just a splash of water, I would have to concur with you.
Beautiful!
Thanks Ana, I’m glad you could enjoy the pics with me.
Wow, that FIRST one! Talk about Technicolor! Absolutely gorgeous shot, John! And I didn’t know Bastian had stripes.
Thanks! Bastian is a convoluted character, who oft surprises with his chameleon demeanor.
He’s probably just been let out of the brig Corina
Bastian NEVER gets out of the brig, it’s pretty much his home now.
That sounds about right…maybe I should build one for Charlie…though Jack might end up in there as well the way she has been behaving lately.
