Owls in My House
So I wanted to do some more practicing with the camera while it was raining out. I decided to do some shots of just a few of my wonderful wife's owl collection on around the house.
She loves owls, and has assorted owl knickknacks and pictures all over the house. Some have been put away and stored finally because they were getting to be a bit much, even for her.
Some of them creep me out. The creepier ones have been put away, or in rooms I don't see often. I didn't take pictures of those. I don't like them at all.
Anyway, I am still struggling with the manual focus and auto focus is shit. I have read the user manual and followed it to the letter. The camera occasionally gives me a lense error when I turn it on and I have to keep turning it on and off to clear it. I researched up on this and it says it requires a certified service tech to fix it.
Since this is no longer a supported camera by Kodak, I imagine I will eventually just spring for a new camera. I would like to get one with a microscope like setup to take snapshots of my coins and stuff as well.
I also have to start learning to use flash and lighting a lot better as you can see in some of the photos. The glare is bad on some.
Although this is not even close to all of the owls in our house, I wanted to get this quick shoot in and practice some more. I had mentioned it here on the blockchain so thought I better follow through.
Maybe next time we will hit up the creepy owls with a newer camera and you will realize why I despise them. Until then, thanks for stopping by and checking things out.
Much appreciated,
Joe

Oh man now you have me wanting to see the creepy owls!
With the strength of the cameras on the newer iPhones, I can’t see ever needing a real camera now. Seeing as I am just a hack and the camera I always have with me has an easy autofocus.
Back to the owls though! Love the practice and development of the skills and sharing on the blockchain. Who!!
I am kind of wanting to advance my ability and maybe start do longer range shots and stuff outdoors. I will see how things go

That's a lot of big beady eyes looking at you all the time! Lol.
Yes it is. I think they are her watchers. These aren't even the ones that creep me out.
They're there to keep a watchful eye on your ever move. And...there's even more creepy ones? Ye gods!
I hope you continue to make progress with your photography practices.
I had an aunt who loved owls and collected them too.
Thank you. Once I get this camera replaced, I should be posting some more photos again.
Luckily for me, my wife slowed down and has stopped collecting them for now since she has so many.
Ah it is great to take pictures! Since I bought my camera last year I noticed I have taken almost 8000 pictures lol
Thank goodness for memory cards!
I was starting to read your post and saw the first owl, and though knickknacks and hehe you mentioned that term in the nxt sentence!

This reminds me of the time I bought an old photo album from the 19th century. Interiors of Victorian houses contained all manner of figurines including: OWLS. There's something all-nowing and mysterious about them and there's no other animal quite like them.
I think some are cool, but she has some that are reall creepy. They look like their peering into your soul.
