What The
Digital Camera Brought Me
I was a bit
disappointed with my digital pocket camera Canon Powershot A490, though I was
glad that I easily could take it with me on my travels. I thought that it was just
for shooting pictures. But as I read the manual did I know that it could also
make recordings. I was so happy when I knew this. I could record my choir, my
dogs, birds twitter, crickets, cicadas singing and I thought to record
butterflies, birds in flight, fireflies, water spiders, rising smoke from a
joss stick, a flame, glowing embers, running, gurgling, rushing, splashing
water, live fish, sailing clouds, ...
Imagine what
the digital camera brought me. Even shooting pictures became fascinating, edit
them with Movie Maker and make me a movie. What a joy it was as I learned by
trial and error. How wonderful, superb is the camera, ZoomBrowser EX, the Movie
Maker, Windows Live Photo Gallery, the Picture Manager. I could make me still
pictures out of recordings, make these still pictures gently moving, I could
color, crop, resize them, make them like pencil drawings, silhouet pictures and
there’s a lot more I don’t know.
As I aimed at
the swimming ducks, I only captured a vague picture of them, yet I can darken
it to be more visible. I cut away a lot which is superfluous, mute it and paste
the parts worth it, together. The tall weeds look like beautiful trees outlined
against the sky and I got a lovely marsh
besides to make me a nice video for You Tube and my videos blog. I made
snapshots of the recording and again I got
a nice picture and a pencil drawing for my pictures blog. Great.
And whenever I turn out a poor picture, video, I myself am to blame.
