I got a new camera. What's the first thing I do with the darn thing? Take pictures in the car, of course. On auto mode, and over my shoulder since I get carsick. Still, I am entertained!



I'm now going out to work in my decisive moment some more. It's going to take me a while to figure out the camera controls and what not, but I figure I can practice and do my homework at the same time. I also got a new flash card to replace my horrible one that betrayed me after four years of reliable service. The new one is also faster, to match the new fast camera. In fact, the new camera is so fast that I have to train myself to anticipate a little less. I kept getting pony strides off of their ideal capture point. Sobad.

I almost feel guilty. Almost. Nomnomnom.










Edit @ 6:38pm: My favorite from today, taken through the plexiglass at the side of the rink. Taken during sunset. 800ISO, 50mm, f4.0, 1/2000

Framing + getting a shot in a split second = zomg difficult.

That's a pretty darned decisive moment if I ever saw one. It feels oh so nice to get a new camera. What did you get?
