It isn't often that I consider my Galaxy Tab a "more suitable camera" than my D300, but this photo's a direct response to my dissatisfaction with the Burrage Library photo I shot with the Nikon. The same is true of the photo I posted to 366 Snaps a year ago today. The Olivet College quad is pretty much fully tree covered, which is pleasant but makes many photographs challenging. When I visited the campus on August 9 I was carrying the D300 with a tele zoom, which really isn't suitable for the environment. So I captured some details on the library tower and called it good enough . And returned a month later. The photo above is differently handicapped--the tablet's lens isn't capable of wide angles, so even with careful framing I lost the bottom of the building. Even so the pic works well. And the 366 Snaps photo shows the campus well, methinks. That view's pretty much the public face of the college. ========== This photograph is an outtake from my 2012 photo-a-day project, 366 Snaps . 366 Snaps project discussion and stats for September 7 .

Olivet's a college town, and the village's most recognizable landmark is this tower. I nearly moved to Olivet, once, many years back, but ended up somewhere else. Never been sure I made the right choice.... ========== Visited my sister in her new (nursing home) digs last August 9. Stopped for breakfast before leaving the Lansing area, then briefly wandered around Olivet on my way there. For the most part the 80-200 mm wasn't an appropriate lens on the tree-lined Olivet College campus, as there are few clear shots of anything. As you'll see, I'd return a few weeks later with a different camera. Took the back roads home. The rehab center's a few miles directly south of Three Lakes, where my dad and I often fished when I was young. I lingered there a while, taking pix with two cameras, then dodged construction projects in the Richland area before heading toward Mulliken on roads I'd not travelled in years. ========== This photograph is an outtake from my 2012 photo-a-day project, 366 Snaps .
