Today, Sunday March 9th, in most of North America is the change from standard time to the daylight saving time.

The problem is that my camera didn’t change the clock forward by 1 hour. I looked at the clock settings and where’s the setting for the daylight saving time on the om-1 mark 2? It’s definitely not obvious!

This young Chow Chow is wondering what the hell am I doing with my camera almost on the ground.

I’m bent in two with my camera almost on the ground taking his photo.

Some people run with their dog and some dogs run with their owner. In this case, it’s clearly the dog that is running and the guy is trying to keep up on his roller blades. They were both going quite fast and it looked like the dog was pulling him as he was trying to keep up with his dog.

I live in Vancouver, Canada. Canada’s the second coldest country in the world after Mongolia.

Vancouver’s a city on the West Coast, next to the Pacific Ocean. It can get cold, by my standards. Today’s the high was -2°C, the low will be -7°C, that’s only about 19°F to 28°F.

This dog was running after the ball at Hadden Park in Vancouver, British Columbia. Not only he had to catch the ball, he also had to brake to be able to turn around before the pit and to get back his owner that threw the ball.

Whenever I point my camera “into somebody’s face” people become afraid. It’s almost like pointing a weapon at them. They always ask themselves:

• How do I look?
• How’s my clothes?
• I never look good in photos…
• Why is he taking a photo of me?
• Is this legal?
• What he is going to do with these photos?

My usual way of working is:

• I usually spot the people with dogs about 50 meters to 100 meters away. That’s around 50 to 100 yards away.
• I make sure that my dog is on my left and the leash is around my wrist. I make the photos while walking with my own dog. I get my position, which background I want to use…
• I kneel on the ground with my right knee when the dog is about between 5 to 10 meters away or around 15 to 30 feet away.

Last week, I looked at: if Google could identify a dog. I provided what I would consider one of the easiest image to identify a dog with https://www.sritch.com/photography/ai-detecting-dogs/. This week, I’ll see if Google’s Vision can identify a cat.

Everybody talks about artificial intelligence and how it will revolutionize … (insert whatever topic you want). Currently, it’s mostly used for pattern matching and subject identification. Google has made available its “Google Vision API” to analyze photos.

This applies to all digital cameras including: Olympus/OM Systems, Panasonic/Lumix, Fujifilm, Canon, Nikon, Sony…

Myth #1: Do not erase images with your camera

Deleting images while reviewing is supposed to corrupt the memory card. Why don’t you try it yourself?
