Beautiful Blue Skies & Obese Clouds

Cousin's shoe

Decided to bring my camera to church today, not the DSLR, but the other small compact Canon Powershot S215 one~ why??? Not sure... just felt like bringing it out since the other camera was getting the attention~~ XD

After church and during lunch sister sms-ed me, wanting me to take pictures of the clouds, because the sky was rather unique and nice today~~ very blue with lots of obese fat clouds~~ so I guess it was my little assignment of the day, but the angles I was walking around on ground weren't that nice so... erm.... heheh...

Took pictures while driving~
How did I do it???

Used the steering wheel as the tripod for the camera and snap all the way~

Because there's more than enough natural light all over the place, I just set my ISO to 50, Aperature to it's smallest, which was f8.0, and shutter speed to the max which is 1/3200... cause it's fast enough so the vibrations made by the car doesn't really affect it, making it a perfect picture taking opportunity, of course there's a live view in this camera so it really does help alot!!!! If I were to look thru the viewfinder I might not even be here blogging anymore... -_-"

Of course this technique is dangerous and requires fast eye movement to look around, especially when your the driver on a straight road... Don't ever try this at home!! I'm a trained lucky photographer!! XD

Then made a trip to the river behind my church

The angle here was good enough for me to get out of the car and snap shots all over the place.

Surprisingly the sky is really blue lo!!!

If you're wondering... nope I did not edit any pictures, just resized it... too lazy to edit

Actually I've just noticed how nice the view here could be...

But I guess what made it better was the blue blue sky~

It isn't everytime you see a sky this blue, usually after taking a picture like that the sky would be slighty near white...

Ok running out of things to say already....

Then after dropping Eric off in church I drove back home...

Once again do not try this at home.... but I guess it's ok if you're at the traffic light....???

The road back home~~ almost couldn't capture the arrow!! XD

Reached home... went up balcony and continued taking pictures of the sky~But something doesn't feel right about it I think....

So I tried a new technique, and took my sunglasses~~
And slided it over my lens, and took a picture... though there's not much difference... but I kinda like it~

See the Difference??? Like some sort of cheap-skate way for a filter or if you're lazy to change the exposure XD

But I guess it's good though... since my Shutter speed was max, meaning less light enters, and Aperature was smallest, so lesser light enters, I guess that was the max my Powershot camera could go, so this cheap sunglasses trick does help in arranging the exposure where it couldn't be changed??? Like giving it a little boost~ XD

Not sure how I thought of doing something like this lo... weird~~ But hey~ I kinda like it~~ wonder if the pro's do something like this too??? XD

But in the end... thank goodness I took my camera out~~ =)
