geez... i can't seem to post my shots before midnight. don't think it really matters but i'm sorry to anyone who cares.
still playing with the touch.. discovering all the neat options i have with the photography apps. if only i could make my big expensive DSLR camera do this. i suppose one day i will own a good computer and have a good program like photoshop and spend hours editing to make my photos look like the ones that i can simply get with the touch. amazing.
slowly but surely, the christmas spirit is being uncovered in my office. i personally have nothing christmasy in my cube and i'm actually a little surprised since it seems the past few years my co-workers have taken the liberty to put up tacky decorations on my behalf.
i like this shot because it looks grainy and faded like an old photo taken with a regular 35mm film camera. this is actually a miniature christmas tree that's sitting on our centre counter. the distorted colour in this shot makes it look like there might be snow outside or at least a brisk wintery chill. definitely not summer weather.
this new little ipod touch is proving to be quite handy in my world of photography. i didn't bring any of my "real" cameras out with me today so i was testing out the touch again with some of the apps i downloaded. i took this shot with the Hipstamatic (i think). the "viewfinder" is tiny and you actually only see about a quarter of what it actually captures. most of the time i've been pleasantly surprised. although this shot isn't as straight as i'd usually try and get it... the slight tilt gives is some character. and i like the splash of red from the bench... no too bad for a little "toy".
to make up for the semi-crappy shot yesterday, i'm going to post 2 again today. mainly because i can't choose between the two... but also because it's a location where i spend what seems like 50% of my life.
super late on this post... had a lot going on today... but i haven't gone to sleep yet so technically my day isn't over.
did a little bit of carolling with the KOOL FM choir tonight... i now offically HATE Rockin' Around the Christmas Tree... you had to be there.
this shot of the fountain in Centennial Square was taken around 6pm when it was dark out already... i'm always surprised at how much light my the LX-3 is able to pick up.
after many many years of boycotting... i have now entered the world of apple ipod and got myself a touch. it's quite unfortunate that i could find something similar enough with the same amount of accessible accesories... but i've been told that i will not be disappointed.
of course one of the first things i do is browse through the available photography applications... while waiting for my teleconference meeting to start this morning i decided to test it out on the random stationary i had scattered on the table. i like the result... so many more options now!
it's been exactly a week since i've started this blog. i haven't given up yet!
took a quick shot with the wide angle lens on my way back to the office at lunch... pretty neat!
wow... december definitely snuck on me! now i kinda wish there was snow around so i could try and get some nice winter shots... *fingers crossed* although, i've probably jinxed it and will regret saying that later...
finally got my new toys for the lx-3. it's gonna take some time until i figure out how to use them to full capacity. have already discovered a few cons but that was to be expected. i didn't really spend big money on these items so they are more "just for fun" rather than being "professional".
so here's one that is definitely more on the fun side...
