At Dad 2.0 Conference
Photo-A-Day #4321

Today was the start of Dad 2.0 2017 and it was a really nice day. I got up and hung out at my cousin’s house in the morning. She let me stay there last night. I did a little work and then took an Uber over to the hotel. My room was ready already ready when I arrived and so I unpacked and got settled.

Once unpacked I went back downstairs and got registered for the Best Buy Drone excursion. We loaded up onto buses to Mission Bay where we could fly two different DJI drones: The Mavic Pro and the Phantom 4 Pro. We each got 5 minutes with each of the drones and when it was done we got a micro SD card that had recorded our flights. Both drones were so much fun to fly and they worked really well. I had never flown professional drones before, just toys. These were awesome. I have footage in today’s vlog.

After flying we went to lunch at Phil’s BBQ. There we had some chicken and ribs along with great beans and macaroni salad. Really good macaroni salad. Then it was back to the hotel.

Back at the hotel, my roommate for the weekend, Derek of Dads Landing arrived and we hung out. Then we went to the opening party. It was nice to see so many familiar faces and to meet new folks as well.

Friends, Photo-A-Day

Photography Lessons at Capron Park Zoo


Photo-A-Day #3002

With the Summer upon us it is time for some alternative lessons for Eva. She started out this morning doing some writing and this afternoon I took her out shooting… Photos that is.

I got a new camera yesterday and wanted to take it through it’s paces. I also had an old Kodak camera that I gave to Eva. She’s very excited about taking photos. We went to Capron Park Zoo to see the animals and take tons of photos. We walked in and sat down on the benches near the Splash Pad and talked about taking photos. With Eva I’m going to have to give her some quick short lessons because she bores easily and wants to go, go go. Eventually we’ll get to the more advanced stuff and learn a little patience along the way, on both sides. But she is very excited to get going and she even talked about wanting to take a photo a day. I can’t wait to see what kind of things she sees. Continue reading Photography Lessons at Capron Park Zoo →
