Putting together my selection of favorite photos for 2012 set in motion thoughts of where I’ll like my photography take me in 2013 — action and equal reaction.
A piece of advice I’ve heard so often as a key to success is finding a niche and sticking with it until you become “an expert” in it. Yet in photography, in this blog and even in my life I’ve always run counter to that advice. I fear I tend to generalize without reaching great depth in any one area.
Well I finally did it. After years and years of starts and stops I’ve actually gathered together some of my favorite images for a year. You can find the 2012 My Favorites in the Meandering Passage Gallery here.
In a previous post I mentioned having three digital cameras of different sizes and, at least in my mind, different primary uses. However, each has the ability to shoot video — the Canon S90 does H.264 640 x 480 video while the Olympus OM-D and Nikon D600 both do HD video capture.
Most D-SLR’s these days have video capability, yet, I’ve only used this capability on a couple of occasions with the S90 and OM-D and never on the D600. To be honest, I’m not even sure how to use it on the D600.
I was thinking of the past year, 2012, and the changes it’s brought. I could easily discuss all the personal changes, such as my retirement and Bonnie and my first two grandchildren arriving, but for the purpose of this Blog article I’ll going to focus on the area of my photography gear changes.
