A Few Streaks of Light

Posted on by Lisa Berton
Suffice it to say I’m not one who photographs fireworks so when the topic came up for the week I knew I had better get some shots. Barrie and I attended Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween Party on Sept. 23rd. While she set up her tripod in a perfect location, I sat on the ground right in … Continue reading "A Few Streaks of Light"

Pleasure Island’s Kiss Goodbye: Act One

Posted on by Lisa Berton
I remember reading all about Pleasure Island when I was planning a trip with friends in 1995. It all sounded so exciting with its various themed clubs but we never made it there and I was sorely disappointed. During various trips that came later, mostly alone, I made an effort to explore Pleasure Island but … Continue reading "Pleasure Island’s Kiss Goodbye: Act One"

Let’s journey back in time to 2002 when Soap Opera Bistro still existed. All of the … Continue reading "Photo Album- Super Soap Weekend"

Wanna Hang Out?

Posted on by Lisa Berton
As Scott previously stated, this week’s theme is birds. I love birds but I’m especially fascinated by parrots. I think it started when I was a child and we’d visit my aunt and uncle in Miami. They had tons of animals, including a few parrots. One of them would call to my cousin whenever the … Continue reading "Wanna Hang Out?"

Optical and Digital Stabilization

Posted on by Lisa Berton
Point and shoot cameras have been boasting about having stabilization for a couple of years now. In the beginning they didn’t specify whether the stabilzers were optical or digital and there is a big difference. Digital stabilization means that the camera boosts the ISO setting let’s say from 400 to 1600. This means the camera … Continue reading "Optical and Digital Stabilization"
