MacBook!

I just bought a 13″ aluminum MacBook. It arrived today, and it’s small, shiny and dead sexy. I’m just geeky enough to have documented the unboxing and posted the photos on my flickr page, but you can see them more easily at the Photos page. Waiting for the first charge to finish is pure agony.

I love LightRoom

Two photos, taken in August, left fallow on the drive ’til now. Processed with Adobe LightRoom.

New toys, new friends.

Last Thursday I picked up a new toy – a Canon EOS 30D. This past weekend I got to really have fun with it at a photo scavenger shoot organized by the Toronto Photo Meetup Group. I’ve put a few shots up from the day on my flickr page. The event was a whole lot of fun – something just shy of a hundred people showed up, and we were split into random groups and sent exploring for photos. I met some really cool people, and did things I’d never normally do (like go up to random strangers and get the to participate in photos).

Damn, I want a better camera.

On Sunday I went out with Stephen and four other guys from the Toronto Photo Meetup Group to shoot some photos at the Burlington Skyway. The weather was miserable when we arrived, so we wound up detouring to the Canadian Heritage Warplane Museum, at least partially in the hope that we could get some photos there while the rain let up, so we could get back down to the Skyway for some evening shots. The museum was okay – they had a wood show (don’t ask) taking up one of the two hangars, so they’d crammed the planes into one hangar leaving little room to actually take decent photos. Our return to the Skyway, however, was much more fruitful. We got some really great photos on either side of the bridge. We even found some surfers in Lake Ontario – I hope those guys (and girl) had all their shots, ‘cuz they’ll need ‘em after swimming in that lake . Anyway, you can see a few of my photos up at flickr, if you’re so inclined.

You know, the more I do this sort of thing, the more I find myself wanting a better camera. The Olympus C-3020Z I’m shooting with is a really decent point-and-shoot, but it’s getting long in the tooth, and I really miss the flexibility you get with an SLR.

Why did I wait so long to get a Flickr account? Flickr is amazing! And they provide your photos as an rss feed too, so I was able to find a WordPress plugin that grabs the most recent photos from my Flickr feed and stuck them in my sidebar. Too cool.

Sundogs!

The other day I got a couple of photos of a sun dog near my house. Neat stuff.

New pics.

New photos in the gallery! Some macro-focus stuff of some flowers, and a couple of shots of an amazing silver lining over my street this evening.

I’ve posted a couple of new galleries – a few selected shots from each of my last few vacations.

New stuff!

I’ve added a DGD category to the list of links in the sidebar. Ordinarily I’d not have bothered, but I wanted everyone to have easy access to my photo gallery.
