More from You Tube

My children are wending their way to Molas Lake to camp together.  Day's family is now in Breckenridge and Will's family is in Taos.

I am in San Antonio You Tube School.

Thanks to the nice people at You Tube, I have learned that my iPhone camera does way more than I knew it would do and I've been practicing along with the tutorials.

Here is my first attempt at a panorama--from my bed-perch

Here is another shot--learning that what you touch
on the screen is in focus, the rest is not

Sam picture, but touching the background
instead of the foreground.

I also watched several reviews on YT of a Nikon camera I want to buy--and found it, online, for half the local camera store's price.

I'm thinking of all the capabilities of the gadgets I own that I've not explored.  Using cameras and phones out of the box, we assume we know what they can do, but--in my case--that probably accounts for about a tenth of what they can actually do.

Is that perhaps true of people as well?  I remember reading somewhere that we use only a small percentage of our brains--though I can't remember how much.

Every camera has a book "for Dummies" and I'm considering buying one--though I've always resisted buying books whose titles are so insulting to my ego!
