Just trying to capture gps pics yesterday no sharp ones but they contained the meta data needed
When I take them from the ground it just gives the position I was when I took the pic.
I need to setup on the tripod in the fairgrounds then have someone on top with my gps camera go from pole to pole, taking pics of the pole then where the camera will capture them
There r places where bushes or trees are in front of the rail
When I imported the pic in the map, no need to figure out the right spot, Google reads the meta data.
While Google gives street names, we can map out Mt Pleasant :)
Cluttered now but it can be be fixed
Who will help the little red hen 📸🐕

Tajubg oucs ti get tgeur gps positions
With out my sidekick Kookie to help, I am doing pics for a map.
The idea of making a trip and taking pics from different spots with gps, then set the tripod up in the fairgrounds with some chipmunks in shape.. in those spots. I think I can make layers.
Areas I can't see from the ground, but drones do videos, maybe if I can get a drone pilot to take high resolution still pics on some sunny day :)

The later pic were a bit better, there were so many shadowsn trying to catch em between moving around.. but Kookie was with me another day :)
Gonna try to bring Kookie out n take some telephoto pics
Experimenting with Google Maps you can make your own Figuring it out, it is not what it can be.

5/24 Had to to to the pills at walmart then cvs... almost goofed off too long, got there just in time before they closed.
I bought some cookies for Kookie, me and the ducks but Kookie didnt like em, the ducks were not there n I took them out of the sack and left them there figured birds or other critters might get em .. threw the sack in the can.
It was hazey so pics could have been a tad better.. taking em at random but tried to cluster them together here.
#risingpark
I got to see these guys when they came down the trail.. #risingpark
I captured a couple of the chipmunks sitting down low behind the weeds.. not the best but they might find em here
#risingpark
Even with the hazey sky, these were my better shots . When the sun to lens is a different angle the pics r the clearest#risingpark
Same girl n the red shirt with out the telephoto to get a perspective of height
#risingpark
Kookie had such a big day but on the way home she was so tired she flopped down n wouldnt come to the house with me.. had to go back with food
#risingpark
Going through the pill store drive thru I saw this bumper sticker and a fuzzy reflection in the mirror so I enhanced it a bit.
#risingpark
I have been taking pics from the fairgrounds then driving over to the bottom of the trail in case I saw people I had taken pics of and give em the link to the pics. But last night was great.
These guys came by n the girl knew who Kookie was. So many have pics taken on mt p with the city in the background but I like to capture some pics with pics of Mt P.
This is the bestus pic of them with their Pup .. looking at the camera 😉 #risingpark
Such a good day for Kookie in spite of her bum leg she hops around so excited to make new friends.
#risingpark
I am never sure if things will be ok but Kookie got along fine.

Fuzzy pictures being great art 😎
When trying to capture people I like no harsh sun, no squinting, good color saturation and sharp with great detail.. but thinking ...
I forgot to post this pic last night then looked for it.. gone delete from my camera.. ugh then I found it in the recycle bin.
At a distance the atmospher fuzzes pics a bit, if the sky is with out clouds, if the camera is on the tripod, if they are very small and I enlarge them on the computer like this one (me as 'the great artist 😔 )
Next one with out me but what makes a pic worthy of being captured. I would guess if these guys found this pic they would love it.
You will see people taking pics of themselves standing on high places.. aren't we cool .. these are dramatic photos indeed. (I am in such pics myself)
Thinking what is considered to be great art.. a whole bunch of it is just who painted it. If a junior high kid drew a pic and someone could make people think Rembrand painted it, it would be sold for millions.
Before cameras existed they could and did paint very detailed paintings but there were those not intended to represent the scene or persons as they actually were.
These paintings or photos are created to capture humor, daring, love, tragedy .. endearing images that give fuzzy feelings ( I think Norman Rockwell was a master of that)
One of my favorite captures with the teley was a couple of kids sitting on the edge for a long time, just sitting there holding each other. Between then I had drove over .. me n Kookie up the trail taking pics for a while .. then on the way on high street I saw them walking home holding hands.
I guess images produced or captured (viewed by those not present or connected any way) that evoke emotions must be the defination of art.
Took the 600 into the fairgrounds not the best day the haze blocked the clear sky n less detail but...
I did not post all of em too many if I missed u let me know and I will post some to the teley album

Waiting for people to come down, I captured a kid plucking a fish out of the pond#risingpark

Telephoto pics
On Instagram someone asked if I had taken any pics of them on Mt P so it is easier to post responses in the blog .
My telephoto pics.. being rip van winkel
I only kind of know a few people n take a few candid's but only once did I have a fb pal there with the intentions of doing teley pics
Then I could use the cell phone to communicate about taking pics.
A few times I hear people yelling but don't know what they are saying.
From this distance I can't make out who anyone is until I get home and zoom in with my software.
One 'trick' I use is making the camera flash.. at 15' flash has NO effect on a pic but when people see it, they think that guy is taking pics up here :)
Here r telephoto pics I captured when I had the chance to communicate https://mtp-2021.blogspot.com/2021/06/2021-06.html
I have taken pics on top with my pups since 2010 n now she has a bum leg so I have just been doing telephotos.. this is her in the morning then a bit later when she knew she was going to mt Pleasant. https://www.facebook.com/princespuppydog/videos/1725667067830247
With out my sidekick I am not sure how many trips I will have left in me..
Some of the pics I have taken on Mt P is in Kookie's album here https://www.facebook.com/princespuppydog/photos You or your friends might be in some of em :).
Things I want to tell people but would not likely take it in.. who is this stranger telling us this stuff :)
Afternoons r best with a clear sky.. so if you see us in the parking lot at the fairgrounds.. sometimes we drive over and sit by the trail up to get Kookie some pets.
Sunset pics.. try this.. as the bottom of the sun is close to touching the earth have someone take your pic or with a pal.
As the sun is behind your head, your photographer going for a waist up pic.. photographer about 7' away USE FLASH, then have em take a step forward n do another until the lighting is just right.
After the sun goes down, IF the sky is right at twilight the sky will have a streak of beautiful horizontal colors.. then is when I like it the bestus.
OH yeah .. if you want a good pic just ask a stranger, bet they will be happy to take some.. do 5 or more AND when you see a couple or a person with a dog, ask em if they would like to have their pic taken with their camera..
Knowing the family for a few years I wanted to get pics of her daughter but never did until this year doing telephoto pics .. didn't know it was her 😋
If you drive by when I am in the fairgrounds come back and tell me u r gonna be on top.. bright colors appear the best.

5/9
A super nice day for a Jeep ride.. guess those who know me a bit is aware that Kookie has a short time.. but doing good so far.
Today the 9th I did a video of her hopping along in the morning but when she got n the truck, a monster again
One bottle of Kookie's pills. Got some bigger hot dogs to put her pills in.
The best pics I captured was in the fairground when this boy, mom n dog came by n visited.. Mt Pleasant n the background. Hiding his eyes from the sun.. dark but fill in flash brought it out.. n they like Kookie 😊
#risingpark
Don't think I took a pic of these pups on top, just wanted to make pals with Kookie.. we had a good day, things boing better than I could have hoped for.
#risingpark
Just tried to post one of each group the rest are on the tele site here https://mtpteley.blogspot.com/
#risingpark
.
I told these guys #risingpark
In the pics people were sitting down n couldnt get em. These guys were standing up, their pals too but they were behind the brush so I dabbled with cropping .
Most pics you can enhance a bit but from this distance no sharp pics but dramatic.
#risingpark
Kookie got some attention n she was so happy barking on the way to town.. snoozing now me next.
