I was getting ready to go out, and was about to charge my battery, when I somehow managed to drop my camera. It is now broken, but still functional. Unfortunately the display is completely broken, and that is the only way I can use many features, and even see what setting my camera is on. The dial to tell which setting it's on is so old that the actual indicators have been rubbed off.. So..I went out to test the camera to see if it was still working. Here is the only photo I took at Willard Beach in South Portland, that I thought was worth sharing! Unfortunately I'll have a hard time with the macro function, which I love. I can't afford my new camera yet, but I'm hoping I'll have enough saved by June! Don't want to miss out on the summer..and I'm going to Alaska in late August-September, so I absolutely need a camera for that!
We went everywhere today. I wanted to go to Spring Point to take a picture of the lighthouse with snow on the rocks ultimately. While trying to drive there, I forgot how to get there for a second, and took a wrong turn. We ended up at Bug Light, so I decided since I was there, I may as well take pictures.
Then I remembered how to get to Spring Point (We should've taken a right not a left) and we went there.
After stopping by two lighthouses, we decided to keep going. Portland Headlight wasn't far off, so we headed there.
While we were at it, we decided to check out the lighthouse near the Two Lights Park entrance. It didn't seem that impressive to me for some reason, so I mostly just took pictures of the rocks near the ocean which were covered with snow.
We decided to end the day with something totally different. We went to the area near the boxing club in Portland, and took pictures of the old abandoned buildings.
Went with a friend to Stroudwater Trail in Portland, ME. After the hike we decided to stop by Calvary Cemetery as well, though didn't stay too long. It was VERY cold out. Hard to take pictures when your hands are cold and all you want to do is take a picture quickly so you can put your hands back in your pockets. I'll be buying some linings and mittens that will hopefully work well for future cold weather expeditions.
