I finally got some PSP time in.  Busy week and finally some down time.  And just in time for the Q&A.  I was driving home from grocery shopping this morning and a local Lube shop always has a funny quote on their sign and this was the one I saw today.  I had to keep repeating it over and over because I couldn't pull over on that road to write it down... and my pen was in my shopping bags way in the back.  4 fonts used: Mandala Vintage (for the womb and board) Mansdefia (Mom) Magestica (Thanks) Marcgravia (Happy Mother's Day 2024) Papers are by Gina Jones (Digital Scrapbook) Kumbaya papers See you at the Q&A!  All the cool kids go there....I hear.

I love cereal!  

That's me....I have been corrected more than once on this one, so now (jokingly) I will say it as 'Either-rea'l or I could start saying it as 'Ether - reel'.  hahahaha, the English language is silly isnt it?  I hosted a garage sale for my friends (who live in a condo) who are moving to Scotland and my dear friend has an English degree and had to put all the books oriented in a way that was easier for the buyers to read the titles.  I totally supported it and get that.  When you know about something, you want it to be right...right?  

My phone seems to only go as high as 800 ISO, which might not have been enough. I am not sure it has any control for speed. I might have to check. It is an old phone, from 2017 so it might not have been available then. Or, if i can dig up an old digital camera??? There should be more northern lights tonight!

I had to use different settings than my normal to get anything. Manual mode, ISO of 1600, F stop 5 or lower, and a longer shutter speed. All articles I saw on it, said to use a shutter speed of 15 seconds with a tri-pod so there is no movement of the camera. I didn't get my tri-pod out so used a shutter speed of 1 second and stood with my arm and back braced against the door jamb/frame. Even though I didn't get any northern lights, I got night photos like I've never gotten before! I tried both my Canon T5 and my Canon SX740 since they both have manual mode. Even my Canon SX 540 has manual mode. Every one was saying to use a cell phone but I knew that wouldn't work for me since my hand shakes when I try to take photos on it. I also have no idea how to make any adjustments to settings on it since I don't use it for photos very often! The cameras were easier for me and I'll always prefer to use a camera.
