And my viewfinder eye, that's tired too. Why? Lots of photos this month. Many lots. Almost as many in June as in the year up to the beginning of June.
Why? Let me list the reasons.
Khutzeymateen boat trip to visit the grizzly bears and other wild life.
A 2 day corporate leadership workshop that used horses as a teaching aid. Extremely effective!
An invitation only Rotary dinner BBQ event.
Community association volunteer thank you dinner.
Peak peony in digital, and film in both colour as well as black and white.
Taking the photos is the easy part. I was listening to one guy's camera on the boat trip. As soon as there was anything at all to see, or even the suspicion of it, he mashed that shutter button and held it down. 10 frames a second or so, I'm guessing till the buffer filled up, again and again and then some more. He must have had several thousand images to look at when he got home, with all of the ones in a particular sequence likely to be very similar to one another. Going through several hundred event photos where I will sometimes have 2 or 3 or maybe 4 that are almost identical, is hard enough. I don't think I could cope with thousands.
In any case, I'm pleased, and the people involved seem pleased, so that's all good. Getting good images for myself, or for the client is the important part. They typically don't care what's involved in getting that good image.
I should maybe mention that the camera and most often used lens weighs about 5 pounds. Lifting it up to my eye again and again. Holding it up as I tweak settings or wait for a photo. My shoulders are tired too.
Some odds and ends from over the month that are not likely to go with anything else.
