July in Miami Beach
Yesterday, I was in a children's birthdate party. It was the first birthdate of the great granddaughter of one of mom's friends. I went with my family to the party in a banquet hall, even though it was pouring. We were one of the firsts to arrive in spite of the fact that we were half an hour late. The party was rather pleasant, decent food and good company. It was pouring too much, so I did not bring my big camera. Also, they had an official photographer, so I did not want to crowd the place. The interesting thing...
Miami Beach on a Good Day
It has been quite a long time since Miami Beach was this crowded. Lately, it has been rather empty because of the poison algae. People do end up there, but they are still paranoid about it.

This is best shown by the...
Photography and the Like

The rest of the format is automatic. The P has mostly things automatic. The rest can be controlled by you. Most of the cameras have everything just about the same. The A and P formats usually vary from camera to camera. It is like they cannot decided on a uniform format. They all have to change the menu so that it doesn't seem like they are...
Much ado about your camera
Most people do not understand how their tiny cameras work. A good number of them have a manual mode. They work well for specifics and more key projects and the like. The first thing you can control is the aperture. You can control it by raising up and down the F. The f and the number that follows it refers to the size of the lenses. The lower the value the large the hole. This makes the image brighter, but it sacrifices focus. The higher the value, the darker the image. It also makes it a lot more focused. Think...
