Oh my goodness.
Photo-Op!!! :D
I can't wait. I hadn't thought about it much until recently, but now I'm getting really excited! This'll be my first time at the beach since I actually started taking lots of pictures. Well... I took lots last year, but I didn't edit a lot of them. This time I'm going to take lots and lots and lots... of all the beautiful things God has at the beach... waves, seagulls, boats perhaps, sand, families, sky, ah :).
I'm also entertaining the notion of getting a new camera sometime this summer. I'm not exactly sure if it'll happen, but that'd be pretty neat! I guess it mostly depends on my money saving and earning. And etc....
What's your favorite object/setting/time to take pictures? I guess this won't apply to everyone, but if it does comment back ;).
I added a new poll recently, You should vote in it :).
Lately I've thought a little about Bible translations. In a book series I've been reading, the author incorporates verses from The Message translation. To be honest, it kind of bothers me. The verses aren't separated in this version by individual verse, but by chunks of verses, and much more modern terminology is used. But then, I realize, what did some people think when the NIV translation first came out? I really like that translation, from what I've gathered, but I'll bet it seemed pretty modern at first. But also hear this: I am NOT saying The Message is wrong or not as good as any other translation. What I'm saying isn't even really a conviction, but a personal preference that happens to be geared away from that type of translation. Nevertheless, this is still a translation of God's Word, which I am aware of. The reason why I don't appreciate it as much is that it's not presented in the same terms I'm used to... so it doesn't really feel the same for me reading it. I'm used to other translations like NIV and NKJV (my Bible is that one). Anyways, what are you thoughts or convictions on this topic? :)

From what I've heard and read, the Message is much more of an interpretive translation than a litteral translation. That is why I don't really like it.
ReplyDeleteI haven't taken many pictures lately, because most of the time I've been tired, busy, and haven't felt like it, but I usually like to take pictures of flowers in broad day light.
