CAMERAS.

[seventhe]

So.

So I browsed around for more information about my fancy special digital SLR, compared it in stats to some point-n-shoots, and -

and then I found it on sale and I just bought it. Like that.

I yearn for this thing, HARD.

I.

Yeah.

So! I'm planning on doing a sort of photoblog thing, where I take a couple new serious pictures every week and let people comment on them and things I need to learn and things I did awesomely. This will guarantee that I take some photos every week, both indoor and outdoor, even if I don't go anywhere exciting. I think it'll be fun.

Ahh, tax refund, why do I treat you like free money?

ETA: OMG SO MANY USERPICS!! Total hearts @ twilightsrain. And, a new use for your tag!!

My ego is pleased.

This book will change your photographic life.

No joke. It rocks my socks off. I've read it and re-read it and re-re-read it and it has seriously upgraded the quality of the pictures I've taken.

OH, HOLY WOW. Thank you for that rec -- it looks AWESOME.

Anytime you want to talk photography, I am all ears. It kind of has eaten my brain the way that stories eat other people's brains.

I once sat outside in the freezing cold and took 1300 pictures of ducks on a frozen pond, BECAUSE I COULD.

Also, if you ever want to spend a few hours drooling, then check out my favorite camera sellers. You can make a wishlist on their site. I think my wishlist tops $50k right now.

I, uh. *laughs* I bought my D80 from B+H because it was like $200 less than the store around here. I COULD BROWSE THAT SITE FOR HOURS.

And, uh, yeah! I have a darkroom. I do not have a second bathroom because of this! I am a little, uh, obsessive about photography too!

And I will DEFINITELY want you stalking me once I start up the photoblog I'm planning on doing to help me learn the D80 >.>

I have often been um......shall we say less than productive at work because of B&H's website.

You have a darkroom? o_O
*hero worship*

That thought makes me want to keep my N80 as opposed to selling it. I just don't want to have to spend money any more on film and processing anymore.

Cel (short for celeloriel, teh girlfriend of awesomeness) is pretty damn good on photoshop, and I have always been scared of it, but I think I'm going to have the take the plunge and get this book by Scott Kelby to help me overcome my irrational phobia of a computer program with LOTS OF BUTTONS.

Consider yourself photo-stalked. Do you have a flickr page?

[first-seventhe.livejournal.com]

I just wrote the longest comment EVER and the internets ate it. So consider yourself saved from my ramble!!

I do not have a flickr page - yet - I post most stuff to my website. I'll be posting pics here at LJ, though, because I want feedback from a lot of people. Also because I am sort of an LJ whore. XD

*LJ angsts*

Awww, like like rambling comments. I too am sort of an LJ whore.

I'm a fan of flickr 'cause for $25/year I get unlimited uploads and unlimited storage. I realized that if I just put stuff on LJ, I'll run out of room real fast.

[first-seventhe.livejournal.com]

Heh, the pics will be on my website, but I will link to them here on LJ so that I can totally spam my F-List with stuff. !!

[yi-sen.livejournal.com]

Oh noes. *puts hand on forehead* My life is so difficult because of teh pic-spam.
