Finally pulled the trigger!

Dave — Wed, 30 Jun 2010 13:25:39 +0000

Several planets aligned last week and I finally pulled the trigger on a DSLR camera. It wasn’t a huge leap as I opted for a used Canon Rebel XT (EOS 350D) from B&H Photo and Video. I have had several false starts, strange circumstances getting in the way or taking priority, and just plain cold feet on making the purchase. This time though I had the extra cash, Joani had a need for a camera too for a research trip, and B&H had a decent camera in good shape used and priced well within the target budget.

Of course I have no sample shots yet because Joani left the day after it showed up on her research trip so maybe I will get a chance to play with it this weekend.

Grabbed a couple of shots at lunch today. Taken and processed on the iPhone. One tiltshift (of course) and another in a new app called film lab.

Sea Turtle Accident

I liked the way this shot turned out even though technically it sucks. Taking pictures at an aquarium is a crap shoot (often literally crappy shots). The lighting is wonky, the glass can play with you in weird ways and the animals are on their own schedule. There was a lot of movement going on here and it ended up turning out kind of ghostly. I decided it was a keeper.

Here is a recent shot I took with my iPhone of a nice sunrise on the way to work a couple of weeks ago. There is a larger copy up on Flickr

A Dragon in Virginia

I took this shot of a Komodo Dragon through the glass at the Virginia Aquarium while on vacation with the family. I took this with my Canon Rebel (film even). Pretty pleased overall with the shots I took this trip. I did notice that the film I had was 400 so I am thinking that washed things out a little.
