Columbia Trip

Hello fans! I've had a little vacation to Columbia, Missouri for a State National History Day Competition! I did a website on the Berlin Wall Crisis, and I'll add the URL address for that at the end of the post in case you're interesting in glancing at that. On my trip I had some interesting experiences, and I have some pictures. So why wait any longer? Here's the photographs:

We were on our way home from Columbia on Saturday evening and we got to a bridge and to our right we saw this. It was a fire in a lakeside hotel in Osage Beach, Missouri. It was the first time that I had ever actually seen a first hand fire. Most of these are from just about 100-200 yards from the fire itself, but the first few are taken from the highway.

This is a video that I took. It was cold outside and I was shivering. Sorry for the shaking.

You can see the water spilling from the top floor.

This boat was trying to assist putting the fire out. He did okay after a little while.

These pictures are the movement of light that I thought would look cool.

So that's all I have for right now, maybe I'll update on Friday also. I thought that since it had been two weeks  I needed to put some pictures up.

Oops! Forgot!

Okay. Sorry, but I forgot to tell you something about my camera. It is a 10.0 megapixel camera and has a 12x optical zoom. Anyways, that's that. Here's one picture, so I don't have a post without a picture! :)

Flower Flurry

I thought that it would be cool to a have a flower close and out of focus and then have the others on the outside in focus.

Well, that's all I have for now!

My Camera

Alright, I'm back. And I just noticed that I haven't told you what camera I use, so I'll do that now. My camera is a digital Fujifilm Finepix S1000fd. I can record video, auto photography, manual photography, panoramic photos, sports/action pictures, and natural pictures. Anyways, it's a nice camera and has served me well. So, here are some pictures!

Anyways, this is all I have for today, and I'll continue to take pictures and get more out here. Thanks!
