Check out that tint job on the building in the back there.

It's epically gold!




Oh, and here's a little Meggie to get your weekend started.

August 14

He was mad at me when I took this.
I had locked the keys in the car.
We were forced to wait for our dad in the mall, much to his displeasure.

Long over due

Alright-y then I was tagged by PG a while ago to do an unedited self-portrait. The rules were:

As soon as you learn you have been tagged to play, you take a photo right away, no cleaning up, no primping, no preening. Just grab the camera and shoot. No cleaning up the photo in post either.

Now in my defense I didn't do it right away because I had just had surgery that day, and was totally knocked up on oxycodone.

Then I just forgot. :)

So here it is at long last, an unedited photo! This is me Monday about half way through my 3 hour hike. Scary I know!

So now I'm suppose to tag some people:

The entire Pentad crew. I'll give you guys more detail tomorrow.

Had to go to the dentist today. I needed a referral to an oral surgeon, cause one of my wisdom teeth is sticking out. So every time I close my mouth I bite my cheek. This is the X-ray I have to take in to the oral surgeon's office, so I figured I photograph it.

Oh, I also have 34 teeth instead of the usual 32.
I know...I'm just special.

Ooo, almost forgot. My flash trigger came today. It's awesome. :)

Today felt like a good cyanotype day.

Stop saying that!

I was going to comment to NP under the last post, but decided it would make a better post. Plus it's really long.

So, out of all the new cameras made this year,
I don't really like any of them.

I'm also not really sure why Canon (among other manufacturers) decide to upgrade, other than to compete with Nikon and other companies. At some point pro's were using just 10 to 12mp. What's the real difference?

Yeah, on a 1-1 ratio zoomed in to 1000% there's a difference, but do we need it?

I mean the upgrades are pretty great, but I really, really hate the fact the DSLR's are shooting video now.
If I want to shoot video I'll buy a video camera.
And on the other hand, would you buy a video camera to shoot still's?
I don't think so.

Well on the up side there are a lot of people selling their used cameras right now.

Also I was thinking why do they (meaning Canon mainly) have mid range cameras? I use a 350d (which has a cropped censor), and I want to move up to better camera in a few years. But why go with a 50d or 40d (which also has a cropped censor, but they're bigger and have more mp's than the 350d) when the 5d is a little more money and has a full frame censor.

I don't know. I guess the world is always looking for something bigger, better , faster, and stronger.

Ha that last bit reminds me of a song.

Oh np also asked what I'd want in a upgraded camera. I really want the 5d.
Its perfect. (as far as I can tell)

I mean its not like you can say you want Nikon's censor chip any more. ;)
But I wouldn't mind their ergonomics.

So what does every one else want in an upgrade?

It may not be snowing here, but that doesn't stop me!

Found this awesome hat today laying around the house.
Kind of makes you feel like a lumber jack, except my beard's not big enough.
Bummer..

Any who, I want to start talking about things. Any thing really. So every Tuesday I'm going to talk about something. My reason for doing this is because I've not really talked about any thing this year. I mean I've said nothing about:

Nikon's new D90, D3x
Canon's new EOS 5D Mark II, 50d
Adobe's CS4
Working for free. Links 1,2,3,4 (by the way i agree with #4 the most)

So anyways that should keep ya occupied for a least a week.

Now I'm going to see if we're having pancakes for dinner.

Photographer's block

Ever feel like everything you shoot, never comes out right?

Any who, you may have noticed some changes lately.
I've put a bunch of links in the sidebar. I reopened my flickr, got a twitter, a tumblr, a friendfeed, and few other things. Hope you like?

I've also decided I going to be doing the project 365 thing again next year.
Anybody else?


Ps, subscribe to me in feedburner. It's under my facebook thingy.
And yes I'm plugging myself but, it's my blog so, yeah.

Let's Be Different

Found this, this morning in a pile of books my mom took out of the bookcase.

It originally said "Let's be different, Youth meetings."
I cloned the last part out.

I may be broke but, its totally worth it!

A new lens!

Just got it today I'm so psyched.

It's a Canon EF 28-105mm.

I got it used but, its in excellent condition.

It also came with a lens hood!
Which may not seem like a big deal to people with a Nikon but, Canon doesn't give you a lens hood with every lens. You have to buy one separately, which kind of stinks.

Didn't really get to play with it today. I had some things to do but, I think I maybe going out tomorrow, I don't know. So, maybe then.

Anyways this is the lens a 28mm.

And this is the lens at 105mm.

And here's a picture of me.
(with the new lens)

Because I can. :)

Pigtails.

Only the cool kids can hang out in the target parking lot.

And of course no outing can end without some fresh honey buns.
