Nature Done Wright

    All four owlets are doing well. Mom and Dad are keeping busy feeding them.

   No videos today — I was trying to take some night shots from my window yesterday evening with the camera set for "night image" and the video on, and all I got was the old black cat in a coal mine shot.

   I forgot to change the settings before I shot footage of the little guys jumping around, and the result was less than happy.

   I have learned all sorts of camera lessons over the past 11 weeks, including:

   Make sure the camera has a memory card (or film).

   Make sure it has a battery.

   Make sure the settings are right.

   Take the picture, then figure out what you are seeing.

   When in doubt, take the picture.

   Always carry a spare memory card (or roll of film) and an extra battery.

   Most important: Always bring your camera.
