Ahh, I mean, FUN TIME, GAME TIME!


I know!


Taken with my , ahh, "PHONE" thingy ... Really! Yeah, like just last Friday night (28 Aug)!


Go figure.


I left my camera in my raincoat, which I didn't think I would need ... I didn't, but duh?


So, all I had was ... You guessed it! My trusty, old, Apple 13 phone thingy.


And yeah, it worked for me!


I didn't even want to take my, you know, REAL camera, my old, Nikon D7200, or even my newer Nikon D500 ... No, that would be "too much", you know, to ENJOY THE GAME! Then, all I would want to do was run around and take pictures!


I'm "RETIRED" now, and was with friends (former college students of mine)!


No, I just had my small, Nikon AW300 camera, but yeah ... My "real" camera was in my bag, you know, for when I really needed it ... I left it in the car!


Hey! The "cell phone" thing worked great!


I don't know what ISO it was set at, you know, from the factory (200?), but yeah, I did make, ahh, one change (that I just figured out how to adjust!), yeah, I believe I set my ISO to 400 for my "GAME SHOTS"!


Hey! That's a "BIG DILL" for me!


I've had cell phones for YEARS, and yeah, I never knew ... Go figure.


Hey! They are just, ahh, PHONES, right? What do you expect?


Silly me.


But yeah, here it is again. Just "one more time", just because I could!



I'm just excited that I was actually there, with my friends, off the couch, and away from this whole Key Board/Computer thingy!


Oh! And yeah, I forgot! Get this, yeah, I also figured out how to, you know, do that whole MINUS thing as well, on my "phone"!


Really!


Set it to -0.7.


Again, who knew?


Not bad for an "Old Fart"!


There is hope for EVERYONE!


Just get out there, and see what you can CAPTURE!


And yeah, for the REALLY, "Big Dill"! Yeah, I actually figured out how to get this image from my PHONE onto my WEBSITE!


Miracle #2. And #3 and #4 ... Etc ...


Turns out, I can teach an "Old Horse New Tricks"!


Now, we'll see how long that works!


Now I have to go through, and see what all the other images look like!


Hello? You know me! SHOOT, SHOOT, SHOOT!


Oh, did I mention my battery wore out on me?


Yeah, all part of that whole, ahh, "OLD HORSE" thing I mentioned earlier!


Good luck with that.


See you out there!


Anywhere, anytime ... Just GET OUT THERE!


The rest works it's way out, ahh ... You know, SOMEHOW!


Worked for me!


And trust me, I'm not the "handiest man on the block"! Trust me, if my Uncle John was still around, he could tell you some (very true) stories!


I still GIGGLE just writing/thinking about it!


Those were the days! Up at his "CAMPS" during the Summers, ahh, back in the day!


Hammering nails into those PANELING things over the holes in the side of the camps, where the porcupines gnawed away like, well, yeah, ahh, the well trained wood carvers that they are!


The whole side of the camp was rocking, and well ... He had to "take over" and do it himself! As he has many a time before over the years!


And then there was the time ...


Well, you know.


So yeah, just figuring out how my CELL PHONE can give me another image like THIS ONE!



At NIGHT!


Hand-held!


Yeah! That is way beyond me.


Period.


I just "Push the Button(s)" and, yeah!


GIGGLE.


Good luck with that!


See ya out there!


We can "compare notes" sometime ...


See ya!


Time for my WALK.


Same thing, over and over and over and over and over and over and over again!


Day after day!


Yes! Even yesterday, you know, BEFORE we left for the GAME!


Yeah, a FRIDAY NITE football game, who knew?


Learn something new every day!


Go figure.
