I’ve often thought about taking photos and making a catalog of unique trees that have crossed my path.

Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

If that tree could talk, I bet it would have some stories to tell.

Headed to Mobile tonight. Will have nothing to do for much of the day, so I may take my camera and tool around. It's a) not a good camera for regular photography, and b) I'm not a good photographer. But maybe there will be some things of interest.

Then again, I may stay on campus and just not see anything. But Mobile has some neat tree-lined streets and such. Been awhile since I've been down them, but they were pretty, best I recall.

Darrell KSR

01-21-2018, 08:08 AM

Guys, if you want, I'll post some cell phone pics later. I arrived in Mobile Friday night, took out my camera to charge the battery, and the battery wouldn't take a charge. Light lit up red like it was charging, then blinked red after about 5-10 seconds. I left it there for a couple of hours, put it in the camera, and it had not charged (it still had one of 3 "bars" of charge, so it powers on, but it wasn't going to last long). I tried it the next morning, same result. "Googled" it and it said that the battery was bad--it has been about six months since i used it and the camera and battery are years-old, so I'm not shocked. I ordered a battery from Amazon--it's not an OEM, but it's an "Amazon's choice," so hopefully it will be ok, despite the inexpensive price, and will have it for next week.

Anyway, I took photos of my old middle school, my dilapidated old house in a neighborhood that is now scary to visit, and a beautiful, gorgeous, Spring Hill College campus, with magnificent old trees bent all kind of directions, marble statues throughout the grounds, the "Avenue of Oaks" that lines the soccer field (where my son was for 7 hours yesterday), St. Joseph Chapel, the Solidarity Chapel, the golf course on campus, and more. I don't remember if I ever have visited Spring Hill before yesterday, but I don't remember it.

This is actually where Spring Hill College plays soccer. They are D2, ranked # 10 in the nation last year by one of the ranking services, and set a record for their all-time most wins. They call it Library Field--that building is not the library, but I guess it has a "library-look" to it. The small bleachers on the left is where the fans attend. The school has an enrollment of only about 1,400, so it's not a large facility.

This view is from the street, underneath the Oaks.

FWIW, I received my new camera battery in the mail yesterday. Dirt cheap, and for a few extra bucks it came with a battery charger that works in your house as well as your car.

So the first thing I did was try my old battery in it. Although my other charger wouldn't charge it, this one did. So now I have two. I'm glad I thought to change chargers, rather than just relying on what my Google searches told me.

One battery lasts a ridiculously long time, at least 400 photos, so I should be set now.

How are y'all getting them uploaded? I keep getting errors saying the file is too large.

Darrell KSR

01-25-2018, 09:36 AM

What size is your photo?

There are 3 answers to your question, and it may depend on your answer to my question.

a) Your photo IS too large. The remedy for that is easy. Resize it. Here are instructions for a free and easy online resize thing that I have often used:

Go to www.picresize.com. You can follow the very easy online instructions there--it's a free online picture resizer (also allows limited cropping and such, too). Nice, easy and free.

Try something like 50% and it should work fine. Probably 25% would. NOTE--reducing the size of the photo 25% doesn't reduce the FILE size 25% -- it's usually MUCH greater than that. Something like 90%. Like, you can take a 500kb photo, set a 25% photo reduction, and it will produce a 50kb file. (Don't hold me to that math, but it's something crazy like that).

If your photo is something over 1MB, for example, it's too large.

b) If you ever want to do a "batch" of photos, let me know. I have a free resizing program that does them in batch mode. It works fantastic. I used to go to show choir competitions and take 200-300 photos. Then my daughter would want to see them online. Easy way to do it was to reduce the size with the batch program, then post them. I would keep the original copy, and save the resized photos to a "Reduced Size" photo file folder on my computer.

c) Sometimes the photos are not too large, but there's another "thing" that you're doing/not doing in posting. Somebody here figured it out once, and posted it. It wasn't me, and I don't remember what it was.

KSRBEvans

01-25-2018, 09:42 AM

^Thanks Darrell--the photo is legitimately that big, so I'll try picresize.

So this is a pic I took in the most beautiful place I visited last year, and one of the most beautiful I've ever seen, Colmar, France, in the Alsace region. It's just a simple memorial to the WWII French resistance fighters in that area who gave their lives for their cause.

The plaque reads:

"To Our Martyrs Of Resistance 1940-1945

(Names of resistance martyrs)

This Plaque Was Inaugurated by General DeGaulle 1 August 1948"

I found it very touching that over 70 years after the end of the war, people still leave flowers at the memorial.

I'll post some other pics later.

Not my photo, and won't come out very well here, I'm sure--but had our preseason high school soccer meeting last night, and coincidentally, this morning the high school girls' soccer account posted this photo.

What I love about this is the commitment it shows. None of these girls will likely make any substantial money from soccer, although there may be a few that will get some college money from it. But all of them have the desire and commitment to be training this week before daybreak. Then they'll go to school. High school. They won state in 2012, 2014 and 2015, and were named national champions one of those years, but the last two years they have not won, and they are determined to fix that. Good luck to the girls (I don't have a daughter on that team, but still root for them. Go Eagles!)

Not sure I'll have anything to add, but working on video stuff this summer. Getting my "Go Pro" Xiaomi clone in good shape--have four batteries (five, but I misplaced one), and they all go at least 90 minutes on regular video, getting some accessories for it, etc.

I struggled with the app that I had for it that allows viewing on your phone, controls, etc., until I finally thought to replace the micro-SD card. When I did, it worked like a charm. Now I'm just getting used to it.
