Soon I will publish a longer entry with my thoughts. For now, let me just say that heretic was right. The world of digital photography is a blast.

From my first hour, after unwrapping the camera:




If you like 'em, let me know. I'm not pompous enough to declare copyright on pictures I've just posted freely online, so use 'em any way you like. They're yours.

I'm at the very bottom of the learning curve for this camera, and there's a lot of manual to read yet... But arrrgh it's 6:00am now. Time to sleep.

Heh. I've been using Photoshop since it was version 2.0 on the Macintosh LC, dear.

That quotation is actually pretty deep. Any idea who initially said that?

[garote]

It's been attributed to several sources, but I suspect each of them heard it from somewhere else. I originally read it as a zippy-ish quote on the XBBS dialup bulletin board, in Santa Cruz, around 1987.

heh BBS days...that's like a lifetime ago. Yeah, btw the 1st and third pics were pretty sweet.

I really like the second one from the right!! Is that a floor?

[garote]

That's the ceiling, with the camera placed against the wall. Forced ISO of 200, everything else automatic. Those light-tubes are neato burrito!

Wow great photos! I like the watery one best of all!

I took that one on the roof of my car, with the sodium lamp shining onto it from across the street. Had to manual-focus it to keep it from grabbing the background. :)
