Heres is a few I shot in Acton, just east of Granbury. I had to ride out there to treat a roughnecks oil rig trailer for roaches, nasty! It was nice to see something beautiful after leaving that pig pen! Shot in A mode fairly high shutter to stop windy flowers! My File info in PS only shows A-settings, i don't know why!

I like the one with the weird little building. It reminds me of a fairly tale...like maybe a troll lives there. Did you knock on the door? :-)
Nice work. I like Bluebonnets and barns.

Thanks Mike! I was just begging for comments!

I love #3. You found some very cool buildings! I also like the last one but would like it better without the telephone/power pole. But I'm sure the people that live down that street are somewhat attached to their phones and power.

What can you do?

I looked at the file info with Opanda IExif 2.26 and it shows more than just the aperture.

For example, in the first shot, the info is:
Aperture = f9
Shutter speed = 1/200th
ISO = 100
focal length = 70mm
Metering Mode = Pattern

However, it also says the flash was fired. Hmmm...???

Thanks Pattie! I dont know why, but when I go to file/data it only shows me what arp I used. I don't have any other EXIF software, is there any plugins for that!

Google search for "Opanda IExif". It's a free download. After you install it, when you right-click on a photo it will display all of the exif info if it is still embedded in the file.

Like the old log house!

Thanks Therese! I just hope the people who own it don't mind that I took it! I knock on the door, but no one was home at the main house. A nieghbor drove by and said they won't mind! I guess they get a loy of people stopping by. they had nothing but bluebonnets over thier whole property!

Mind sharing where in Acton this is? I'll be heading down that way this weekend.

guitarbug · 04-10-2007, 12:55 PM

No way! You have to find it yourself like CPT Tom, LOL! Its just east of Granbury , just before you get into town you go east on such in such Rd , (don't remember) Just off of 377! It goes through the small town of Acton, go about 1 to 2 miles and look for Gee rd and turn right, go past oil rig on left and its straight down on the right about 1 mile down on Gee rd. There were some other nice hillsides and field down there. Ask Cpt, Tom he should be able to help also! Have fun!

Debbi · 04-10-2007, 01:07 PM

Thanks so much! If I wasn't navigation challenged, I would have already found it. I was actually in Granbury weekend before last and went thru Acton.
