Shoot!


somebody shoot me!



I finally did it. Today I got me a spanking new digital camera, the Canon PowerShot A80. It was a decent deal since it got it at Fotokem's Photo Fest at PWTC today. At RM 1,799, I get the camera, a couple of pouches, a mini tripod, an additional 128MB memory card, a travelling bag, and a Canon charger kit. All that and a 3-year warranty!


I look forward to plastering this blog with more pictures soon. That is, as soon as I figure out how to use the darn thing. The problem right now is that I know next to nothing about digital cameras. When once I was concerned with f-stops, aperatures and shutter speeds, now I'll need to worry about megapixels, white balance and digital zoom! But I suppose, the A80 will offer me far more convenience compared to my Lomo LC-A. I won't need to develop films to look at my shots. There'll be no surprises. And I won't have to do any scanning should I decide to post anything up here. Perfect.


Watch this space. :)

    I just got a digital camera sometime last year, and have been using it regularly for my assignments (and ooh, sky photos)!
    You know what they say: practice makes perfect. So put up some of your 'experiments' for us to see. :D
