Today I attended a digital photography workshop called Digital Days. I went with the Boston winner of BenSpark’s Digital Days, Andy. Today was a learning day, a seminar, no hands on stuff. Our instructor was Phil Mistry and he was really engaging, informative and funny. He knows so much about photography and had many great examples of real life images with mistakes and fixes. We sat there and learned more about Aperture, Shutter Speed and ISO I fiddled with my camera and the manual settings. I took a few shots of different things around the room like the chandelier.
On the ride home I decided to stop by the Hopkinton State Park. I saw a kayaker launching but by the time I turned in and pulled up to the water I missed getting the kayaker in any shots. So, I tried to make this one with proper exposure in the waning light.
Tomorrow, the model shoot. I hope mine are even half as good as Paul Richardson’s.
The Tax Deadline is looming. If you didn’t know, sorry to be the wake up call. If you got things done early that is great for you. If you’re still working on yours keep going. If you ware trying to get yours in by midnight tomorrow get to the post office early for the lines. Me, I e-filed this year. We got a return so I question why it took me so long to get my taxes done. I guess I just didn’t want to do them. The thing is our taxes are wicked easy. I use Tax Cut and have used it for years. Each year my prior tax return is imported and most things are filed in for me. It is so easy. Past years I’ve filed on paper but used Tax Cut to prepare the files. Why I didn’t e-file before is a mystery. This year my tax filing was very simple. And we didn’t do too badly on the refund either. That will help pay down some debt.
So, do you file early or wait to the last minute? Do you owe or does the Government owe you? Anything special planned for the refund?
