vg6. Autumn Leaves; New City 2015. Filming the Exhibition Pieces

Saturday is Studio work day.  Since I had not done any photographing the opening last week, I started with the idea to film the work that is presently on display in Val Gal.  I had a brand new Optex PRT50 Summit Tripod to try out first.  The tripod was bought last Monday but I wanted to read the instructions and assemble it without breaking anything. So it stood carefully placed in its box in a corner of Rose Room.  Saturday morning was the first time I could bring myself to even attempt it.  I opened the box carefully and found no instructions.  A search on line to register the tripod bore no fruit.  the best I could was find it listed in the store products and sign up for the eletters on the store.  It said on the box, in big letters, five year guarantee, so I suppose I have to keep the store receipt.  There is no other proof of purchase.

That done I figured that I would just have to go by instinct and what I had learned to do with the other tripod.  After lunch I would film the Autumn Leaves: New City. 2015  exhibit.  Usually I film just on Sundays but I was behind schedule so I took Saturday to film just the artwork in the Corridor Gallery.  Sunday  I planned to go through the gallery again this time taking pictures of myself with the exhibit pieces.

I went downstairs and got the luggage trolley.  I had a wooden folding table and the tripod fit on it quite nicely without wobbling.  Last week I went to check out what was wrong with the tripod and found out the camera was broken and could not work properly with a tripod.  Cameras are expensive so I really didn't relish the fact of buying a new one.  Luckly my classic old Nikon Coolpix was in perfect working order at least in regards to the tripod.

I placed the camera on the tripod and the tripod on the trolley. I was a little shaky with how to use the legs which were long and had three moving pieces to adjust the height.  I eventually got all three legs equal and with the camera settings on Museum I pushed the trolley down the Hallway Gallery and took a  picture of each and every exhibition piece.  First one side, then the other.

The pictures came out fine to begin with.  I have the Sony photo app and the Windows app and with the both of them I did a fairly professional job of adjusting, straightening and cropping the images. Sony makes it easy to put the date on the pictures and I used a textbox with the Windows. to add my name. The computer adjustments are almost done and very soon the pictures will be ready to put on the social network.

I will be making some changes to some of the Corridor Gallery pieces.  When new ones come in I will film them individually.  Next Saturday I want to start on the Rose Studio Gallery work.  Monday I am going to join Gliffy charts on Google and I will be adding some beautifully colored  Art Fabio Co. organigrammes to decorate my room.à and organize my work.

What child is this - Lindsey Stirling

Well, I am back from lunch out. The Brazilian resto was closed. I stopped at the Pastry shop for some pastries but the lunch counter was closed. Luckily my coffee shop came through and I had a great Sante Fe salad with walnuts, grilled eggplant, and cheese. The great part of the meal was my delicious Americanos decaf. I enjoyed two. ITs a beautiful snowy day in Montreal. Much different than the landscape in this dreamy Holiday season video featuring the lovely Lindsey Stirling. It is sooo romantic. Check it out.

Bieber; Under the Mistletoe

Well the laundry's done. I have two pairs of kicky pajama bottoms waiting to be worn now. We are talking pink leopard and monkeys on a purple background. The dishwasher is out for a couple of days now and we have been eating on paper plates so I am going to look for a nice place to have my lunch today. I have a selection of three restos in mine: French, Brazilian and a coffee with a winning menu.  After that, I am going to go pick up a couple of pastries for tonight and f or Christmas morning. Talking about the French resto, they have some beautiful, decorative pastries. I only hope they are open. Meanwhile, this being the 24th I am going to go back to bed for a bit before I get dressed to search our sustenance.  Meanwhile, why not pick up some Christmas images from Bieber. By the way, what does shawty mean? He says that a lot in the song.
