Shasta Lake overlook.
This morning was the time to get a picture of Mount Shasta. I drove up to one of my favorite photo spots to capture Mount Shasta between the storms, and the window of opportunity was open with photogenic arms.
There were other people who came to see and photograph the volcano on this first clear morning in weeks, including a photographer from channel 7 news. I mentioned that this was my first opportunity to try out the 10x optical zoom, Leica lens on the camera I got two weeks ago just for this purpose. He seemed to know what I was talking about, and we happily went about trying to capture the magic and feel of what we were fortunate enough to be observing.

I tried two different basic camera settings; "Scenery", and "Snow".
One used 1/400 sec, and the other 1/500.
I forgot to add the audio note to each picture that would remind me what setting it was which. Next time, maybe.

I put today's experiment on line, HERE, so you can view the pictures in better quality.

These guys are good! The new "does everything" device was unveiled today by Apple.
It's what most people need to do the stuff they try to do with their computers.
This thing does it all with the touch of your fingertips.
This is what most people will soon be using instead of cumbersome computers.
You can hold this and read the news with your morning coffee.
I know some people for whom this will be perfect.
