I'm pretty open to taking in new things and information without much resistance.
That being said, I can't say I've been able to fully utilize all that new information effectively...
My lack of deep concern can be both a strength and a weakness.
This time, I bought a Canon camera because I wanted to record a fireworks display. A young shop assistant at the electronics store was
very kind to me.
"This card is compatible with 4K, so the picture quality is great."
"Oh, is that so? That's good," I said, and so I decided on that camera.
When I got home, I found out that even new iPhone has a 4K-compatible camera. My son told me,
"Really?"
When my son saw the footage of the fireworks display, he pointed out,
"You have a 4K-compatible camera, but you didn't shoot in 4K mode. The image isn't very clear."
I was disappointed by his critique.
That prompted me to compare the difference between the iPhone and the camera by taking pictures of the moon last night. The camera
definitely has a better zoom. There was a large moon that I couldn't see with the naked eye. I was deeply impressed.
So, I had a flash of insight. I could effectively use it to film my horseback riding and analyze my performance. I'm the kind of senior who
turns a stumble into an opportunity.
The instructor points out the problems in my riding, but why not watch those parts at home after cooling down? Wouldn't that make me a
very proactive student?
Well then, today, once it gets cooler, I'll go out and prepare a tripod that suits my camera, and head back to the electronics store where that kind shop assistant is!
