The perfect gift

Anna hosts a Tea and Chat every Sunday for the members of our cooperative. She does this to promote socialization among members and to encourage new members to come out and introduce themselves. 

 Today one of her best friends gave her a set of earrings, one is a teacup and the other is a creamer. 

She's still giddy about them.

The river valley

While hot-footing (let's be real, here, 1.5, 2k/h) I couldn't pass up the opportunity to capture the river valley yet again. It's just so pretty ! 

And I know I could have used HDR to enhanced‎ details but I truly like the polarizing effects a sun shot generates.

Hardware vs Software

Sometimes we lose sight that hardware and software, while cooperative, are no necessarily interdependent. Case in point, my BlackBerry Passport. When the Passport first came out, it boasted a high-end camera and a wonderful set of specs. Unfortunately the software that came with the initial offering was atrocious. It couldn't take  proper pictures to Save it's life. Now unfortunately, while it did try to improve the software, the current offering still remains a little better than marginal; it's improved a fair bit but it's still not perfect. Secondary software however has managed to make the most of the current hardware,allowing for some truly wonderful pictures in less than ideal conditions 

Case in point, this was taken over my head, single take, no processing, no special settings.
