Post #1001

Posted on 6:04 AM by Unknown
For lack of a better Title.

WELL - and so goes another cell phone.  When did I get this latest one?  I have an iPhone 4G and have a special case so when I drop it it won't break.  However I have to take it out of it's case when I golf  because it does not fit in my holder for the GPS app.

All was well and I had the phone in my pocket when I sat down on the back if my Subaru to take my shoes off.  I life my right lag and the phone slides out of my pocket, hits the pavement 2 feet lower and smashes all to hell.   WTF!!  I dropped my iPhone 3G like a hundred times and nothing.  I drop this once from 2 feet and the screen shatters like tempered glass.  DAMN IT!!

----------------------------------------------

Golf - This happens every year like clockwork.  I go on an outing and play a course that is tougher and not as flat as Door Creek and BAM, I golf so much better afterwords.   For the 3rd time in six weeks I had low net.

Last night on hole #1 this was what I had to do for my birdie.  About a foot.  I made it of course.  My short game as been outstanding lately.  Oddly I have also been taking a shot of 5 hour energy drink before golf and maybe that is helping me stay focused.

That is the head of my putter in the photo. Weird how it looks. I was holding my phone and putter. Looks like a surf board or something.

Anyway - two birdies last night.  I also had a couple holes where I was still 200 yards away and hitting four.  LOL
--------------------------------------------------------

Columbus had 1.36 inches of rain up to 7:00 this morning with those storms.  Another one is goign through at the moment so more rain in tomorrows report.

-------------------------------------------------------

I'm about to submit my first 3x7 FOOT canvas image for printing.  I'm still not sure how I will get a SEVEN FOOT photo to the company that wants it.

It's of this shot.

B17 Aluminum Overcast

And that shot lead me to getting THIS shot.  This one I got back from the printers yesterday and I printed it on Metallic Paper and WOW.  It looks SWEET on metal paper. 

F16 Fighting Falcon

I've met some people at art fairs that say that my images look so much better live then on the internet.  That one especially looks so much better.

But the shot I really like that I created recently is from the wooden boat show that I shot a couple weeks ago.

1955 14' Thompson Thomboy

One thing I was told when talking to Wooden boat owners.  Seems they really do not "own" the boats.  They are the current caretakers of the boats.

I REALLY have to invest in a GOOD monitor - The F16 came out a little more gold and I anticipated which works great but then I submitted a 2x4 foot photo for Wisconsin Broadcasters that has a lot of the red roof tops of Madison that is WAY too red.  My monitor seems to tone down "red" but when I submit for printed - red seems to really come out too strong.

One more shot of the RC-26 recon plane.



I'm not sure how to correct this.

Have a great stormy Thursday!
