Game Single in November 2011

photolady95 · 11-19-2011, 10:09 PM

I probably won't do December. It's been good so far this month except for yesterday, but until I get this hand shaking under control, I can't be sure which days it will happen and whether it will be completely out of control, like it was yesterday, er, the 18th day. Just a bit of a explanation on this shaking. I was eating lunch day before yesterday, and reached over to pick up half my sandwich, my hand shook so hard, it (my hand) literally threw the half of sandwich across the room. Those days, I won't try to hold my camera.

That doesn't sound good PL.

I'll probably do December but I'll be sticking with a normalish zoom lens. Probably the 16-50. I keep thinking about going crazy and trying the DA*300 for a month but I know I wouldn't last past the second day with it.

To all.. I've viewed and enjoyed each of your photos. As usual, I suck at leaving comments

. Don't think it's because I'm not looking though.

PL - yikes on the hand shaking deal. I'm hoping you are seeking medical attention to that.

Jeff - hmmm...that's boarding on a lame excuse!

While I enjoy receiving comments on my images and seeing those of others, I have to admit that commenting in on everyone else's work is one of the hardest thing about these challenges. Do what you can, that's good enough for me.

JeffJS · 11-20-2011, 07:13 AM

No, the truth is never an excuse it's just the truth. It may still be lame but not an excuse

**blackcloudbrew** · 11-20-2011, 07:35 AM

Agreed.

photolady95 · 11-20-2011, 07:59 AM

The shaking is caused by medications I take to help me breathe. Without the medications I couldn't breathe, so I deal with the shaking best I can.

**blackcloudbrew** · 11-20-2011, 08:53 AM

Yikes! Well, I wish you success in getting this resolved. Very sorry for your troubles.

That's terrible! Have you tried other meds? A different Mix? I understand you don't want to F with your breathing but it would seem that your doctor would be able to zero in on what part of the medication is making you shake like that.

photolady95 · 11-20-2011, 12:58 PM

They tell me it is a consequence of that medicine. Either take it and be able to breathe or not take it and die. Since I like living, I'll still use it. Some days it's not as bad as the sandwich throwing incident. I can slow it down by taking a quarter of an Aspirin, most times. The other day even that didn't help.

JeffJS · 11-20-2011, 01:47 PM

Wouldn't be much fun around here if you passed so do whatever you have to do.

Hmm, Take care Mar...none of us are getting any younger.

Me, I feel like a kid again, newborn almost, next to no hair, can't see properly, and just s--t me pants.

You know what I mean. Luv ya stuff, take care mate!

Cheers Paddy

Thanksgiving Day here, going to nephew's house for dinner, don't know if I'll get a photo for today, but I will get full.

**blackcloudbrew** · 11-24-2011, 08:28 AM

Happy Thanksgiving all. I know it's not celebrated by all of us today but what the heck!

Bramela · 11-26-2011, 12:59 PM

I have been contemplating December. I worry that the Single thing is making my photography, more by necessity than by choice.
I had my mind made up I would NOT be doing December. But maybe I am wavering just a little. If I go for it, I will choose an easy to go with lens, perhaps and maybe give it a go.
Still not certain.
