A New Day

Backyard HDR

The above image is an attempt to shoot an HDR scene in our back yard.  I like how the moon, clouds and sky looked against the landscape.  Not what I originally envisioned but it is what I ended up with.

I’m sorry for the lack of posts this last week.  I was in Madison, Wisconsin attending the Graduate School of Banking Advance HR Program.  I did year one last year and this was the finish up to the two year program.  Great school but my head is exploding with information.

I intended to take some spectacular shots of the Madison area but homework assignments and some afterhours socializing got in the way.  I met up with a good friend from one of our banks that was also there attending the GSB Banking School and we had drinks, dinner, and  a lot of conversation one of the evenings. 🙂

Apple MAC Book Pro

Here is the other reason.  Yes I pulled the plug and did it.  I went over to the dark side and bought a MACBook.  I have to tell you it is like learning to walk again.  Not only is the operating system different but even the programs that are made for MAC and that I am use to do not work the way they do on a Windows machine.

Why do it then?  Good question and I suspect that my wife is asking herself that question as she had had to endure all the adult language coming out of my office as I struggled to do the most elementary things.

I’m still doing most stuff on my PC laptop but I will make the transition.  I also got a smaller computer, which is much easier on my back but I went from and 18.5” screen down to a 15” screen.  That in and of itself is quite a change.

It will be a journey.  My friend Andreas says I’ll love it after I get used to it.  Our network guy Mike said he had often wondered why I didn’t have a MAC for what I mainly do.  So we will see.  I’m stuck with it now for a fairly long time. 🙂

Thanks for stopping by.  I’ll be a little more consistent in the coming weeks.  Be careful.
