Try and Try Again

I am headed for a new adventure. Due to the circumstances of my husband being laid off November 2023, and the need to increase the income in our budget, we are trying some new things. Baby boomers using technology to increase income. One stereotype I really dislike is when people say Baby Boomers do not know how to use technology. We are still able to learn. I would like to see the younger generations use a computer requiring all commands in DOS. I wonder, do they know what DOS is?

We are starting a YouTube channel to help bring attention to our sheep farm. The focus is to increase the sale and sale price of our sheep. The eligibility requirements of being paid by YouTube for advertising means there will be no income from YouTube directly for awhile. I am approaching this new adventure one method to bring attention to our sheep and our homestead.

Making a video is not as simple as it seems. There are challenges to setting up a camera phone on a makeshift tripod, then getting the sheep to cooperate with the videoing. Containing emotions and vocabulary when the sheep go the wrong direction because the herding dog had his own idea on where we wanted the sheep. Or practicing what you want to say as in introduction without stumbling over your words. Only to learn that the video stopped due to lack of storage on the cell phone.

After a couple of hours transferring the 974 photos and videos of my grandchildren to my computer. Deleting the said photos from the cell phone. I now have storage to make video footage for our new adventure. Only the sun went down and the lighting is horrible.

I will practice more in the mirror on speaking into a camera. Work at editing the small amount of video we did capture. Tomorrow we will try again to get video for this new adventure in our life.
