For taking photos toward the light just shift your camera away from the light source (restaurant tables, in this instance), press the button halfway down to set the light meter, then shift it back toward desired position and press the rest of the way down. Most cameras this works. Of course the view out the window usually won't be much to look at (overexposed) but that is probably not what you were trying to get a pic of anyway or you would move closer to the window. I don't mess with photoshop and "layers" so this is how I usually tackle the problem. You might have to try aiming the camera at a couple of different spots before you get the exposure you're looking for. Hope it helps!Pam https://www.blogger.com/profile/05979446142128610261noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4309293625176086078.post-22690327174906073632013-07-07T21:46:50.430-04:002013-07-07T21:46:50.430-04:00Overdoing can be rewarding-if tiring:)Overdoing can be rewarding-if tiring:)Chuck and Anneke's RV travelshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01929384797592263167noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4309293625176086078.post-44291512844353556102013-07-07T16:17:43.919-04:002013-07-07T16:17:43.919-04:00Okay, I was singing that song through the whole po...Okay, I was singing that song through the whole post!

When Vic and I visited there in the fall of 2011, we also stayed at Camden Hills State Park and really enjoyed the walk into town right past where I used to be a chef at the Whitehall Inn. Happily, it looks almost exactly the same as it did more than 30 years ago! <br /><br />I am a huge lobster lover and agree about butter vs mayo on the rolls. I also prefer hard shell vs soft shell as there is more meat in the hard shell. Vic became a huge fan of the whole body fried clams when we were there. We stayed at Narrows Too when we were in Bar Harbor and there is a great lobster pound right across the street. Dangerous.

We pulled our CG cutter into South West Harbor, ME ahead of an incoming storm and we went ashore to eat. It was delicious. Of course, an hour later, we had to head out in 10-15 foot seas to assist a fishing boat in trouble and in no time I had returned my lobstah to the sea... :c(Paul and Marti Dahlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17332654035718777839noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4309293625176086078.post-30146838433235960602013-07-07T10:31:35.421-04:002013-07-07T10:31:35.421-04:00I agree. . .beautiful in any conditions. . .I agree. . .beautiful in any conditions. . .Janice Williford Evanshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07322596945199192769noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4309293625176086078.post-81774780100293645672013-07-07T10:09:42.595-04:002013-07-07T10:09:42.595-04:00Dad sure can sleep anywhere - lol!

You like crabs more than oysters? Really? You should come to my state...we're known for our crabs. :) Maine is neat in that everyone romanticizes it - the rocks above the ocean, the lobster, the blueberries, the tall pines.

I hope you get some sunny days before you leave, but it's still quite nice in the fog.<br /><br />I just discovered something on Picasa (from the Bayfield Bunch blog). For those photos where the ocean and the sky blend together, you can click on the Graduated tint button and give the sky some definition. I don't know how it will work with that much fog.<br /><br />It's nice to see David in long pants and a jacket. I guess that means the weather is nice and cool. Wish it was cooler here.<br /><br />I'm not a lobster fan, but Al sure is. I'd bet he would love those lobster rolls.Karen and Alhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15284661066870109259noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4309293625176086078.post-66468035544223367152013-07-07T06:44:41.264-04:002013-07-07T06:44:41.264-04:00I've always wanted to explore New England; you...I've always wanted to explore New England; your stories and photos are encouraging me to make it there someday. Wish I could talk Dave into your type of cycling. I think I'd enjoy a couple of casual bikes for toodling along paths. Maybe when he reaches 70 and I can slow him down enough to do that kind of cycling.
