Photography
Related: About this forumThis is a pretty ordinary photo, but I've got a good reason to post it tonight . . .
Somehow my Olympus camera had gotten into RAW mode, where I didn't want it. I'm used to jpegs and I wanted to stay with them. But I couldn't figure out how to get back there.
My attempts let to more confusion and strange settings that totally flummoxed me. I thought maybe Gato could help, so I messaged him on Facebook. We tried all kinds of stuff but got nowhere.
Finally I decided to just put the camera settings back to the factory numbers. And then I took a photo to show Gato!
This was that photo. And that's why I wanted to post it tonight--as a thank you to Gato, for his support and cheerful mood. He is a great friend!

for Gato!

i'm glad you got it going. we need your photos here!

As long as I can get that camera to work, my photos will be here . . .
