More Shots from Work

2011.03.03

The Captains closed the Columbia River Bar last night. No ships coming in and no ships going out.

If anyone knows why, when I take a photo of my computer screen, it makes those little checkerboard lines or swirls, can you please tell me? And, is there anything I can do about it?

You can check the status of the Columbia River Bar any time by clicking HERE Although I don't think anyone would be nearly as interested in this as I am.

The Coast Guard ship "The Steadfast" out back of the office. I really took this to get the ship anchored underneath the ship lines but a coastie walked right into the shot.

So I waited for him to move and I zoooooomed.

This is the bottom of the walkway. I know the really green stuff is moss, but I forget what the lighter colored stuff is.

And, does this look not too bad for a close up? I'm just starting to try these. It's just as hard as I thought it would be.
(please enlarge)

I am going to try and catch up on all my buddies blogs as soon as the weekend is here. (Is it Friday yet??)

(((((Feebs))))) Friday is SOON I promise you!! The white stuff is called lichen, and this is a really cool post :)

I love it!!! It's yellow now, just so you know :0). So would it be all right if Barry came with me when I come to visit???? Cause I don't think we would be able to bring the girls....so Matt would have to stay home with them....and I really don't want to drive all that way by myself!

29 foot waves!!! I would have to accept McMommy's answer about the white stuff as I am as clueless as you on that one... but it sure is pretty!

Love #3 (worth the wait!), and you're doing great with the close ups too :)

The lines in your first shot are something to do with the way LCD screens work I think. The camera is more sensitive than our eyes, so we don't see it. To avoid it in photographs you need to use either a faster or slower shutter speed (sorry can't remember which it is). Try experimenting until they disappear!
