I told yall I got a new camera last month. It has a touch screen- why I need a touch screen, I have no idea but it has one. I’m loving my new camera….but it does this funny thing.
My camera is so sensitive, that if I dont turn the camera off when I’m walking it takes random photos without me knowing it.
It was irritating at first when I loaded the photos into my computer because I had to delete so many right away. But now, I’m getting really tickled with the shots that it is taking.
Didn’t you love the end of the movie “Rainman” when he took those random photos out the car window ? For some reason I loved that… the random street photos.
So that’s why I’m sharing these cool random photos of my beach walks. I’m calling them my Sanibel Rainman Beach Still Life photos.
It’s like a little tiny slice of life that we overlook until we capture it in “still”.
I’m so happy I’ve learned to look at these photos and smile instead of feeling like they are a waste of time and computer space.
I feel like I learned another lesson in the art of shelling.
Don’t forget to look for and enjoy the less obvious.
PS- My camera is a Panasonic DMC-ZS10.
Very random, very cool, very you!! :D
Random shots, I love it Pam! They made me smile:)
I think they are very cool! Two more weeks and a day..hooray!!!!
Well, that will certainly give you an interesting perspective, won’t it? I like it!
Love the photos. They made me laugh!
As a new subscriber to your website, I love your posts! Can you tell me a little about your worm shell mirror on this page….are the shells painted pink or do they just look that way in the light? Mine are a kind of yucky brown, but I LOVE what you did with the mirror!
Hi Marti,
I think it just has a pink hue in the photo because they are pure white the way I found them on the beach. Some of them had algae and gunk on them but I let them soak in water and little bleach and they are beautiful white when they dry. I also have darker brownish womr shells too …and tanish ones. I hope to make more frames and mirrors one day of those as well. My friend Jane mixes the colors of them which makes for a really fun frame too- check it out- http://www.iloveshelling.com/blog/2010/07/07/janes-seashell-frames-and-more/
lol, I try to imagine Rainman shelling
no matter which way or what place you pictures of sanibel, they are still beautiful, I think it would be very difficult to make an ugly photos page
Very artistic! What kind of camera do you have? Our daughter gets married next week and we’re looking to purchase a camera! Thanks for sharing!
Congrats on your daughter’s marriage!!!! I’m wishing them forever happiness. (She’s had a good example- xo)
I think the “PS” got a little scrunched on the end of the post about the camera- PS- My camera is a Panasonic DMC-ZS10.
You posted the type of camera a while back and I replaced my old one with this model — absolutely love it!!! Just returned from Seattle where our daughter and son-in-law had their first baby — our first grandchild — I got sooooo many wonderful pictures of the baby using the camera! Thanks for the information! (It has so many great features that I’ve just hit the tip of the iceberg and look forward to learning more with time!)
Cute post!!!
Yeah, they came out really interesting. LIke Martine says, when you are somewhere really beautiful like Sanibel, the camera can point in any direction and still take a pretty picture.
Sounds like a slow shelling day……. but I love your humor :) Be there on the 1st. Can’t wait!!
Love the photos Pam, They just tell a story so Perfectly!
So interesting that they’d make a great collage, museum quality.
It looks very artistic, like you are doing it on purpose! Very cool!
Thanks for the uplifting post. It reminded me that we can look at the glass as half empty or half full. Life is what u make it! Happy shelling!
Too funny about the shots when walking around but they are cool as you see what you might have missed. can’t wait to shell on SB next week!
TEEEEEEEE HEEEEEEEEE I LOVED THE PHOTOS…….I RECOGNIZED A FEW OF YOUR BODY LSSST
