Camera Stuff...

It has been close to a month since i bought the Sony a200 DSLR. I LOVE IT!! I try to shoot about 10-15 photos a day depending on the weather and what i am try to do at that time. I try to learn something different and practice that function when i use the camera. This does not presuppose that i do not still use the 51.1Megapixel Sony Cybershot DSC-H1 camera or my Cellphone Cam. I use them all. Sometimes i shoot a pic with the Cybershot and them i will try to duplicate it with the a200. Other times like today, i did a photo with he a200 and then with the cam phone. It is really fun to use all of them because i can do so much with them all.

It is strange switching between them as the a200 weighs more and is physically bigger than the DSC-H1. The a200 uses the Eye Range Finder and has all the information on a display that you can see, no point and shoot stuff. You can see the photo on the big LCD screen on the back with all the EXIF data on it. The DSC-H1 has all this data on the LCD screen as well but unlike the a200, you see the image in real time and can use it to shoot the photo. My cam phone does not include the EXIF data in the picture it takes, that kind of sucks, but what do you expect, it is only a phone. It does take good pictures for a 1.3Megapixel camera as i have gotten lots of comments about the quality. In fact, i have a sunset photo that a local artist is going to make a painting of for me! It is the most Lo-Fi camera that i own and people have made more comments about it!

Well i will keep posting photos and i hope that all of you keep looking and reading about them.

1985...This remindes me of Rhinestones in Beaumont and K106fm. They played live from the clubs there and also from Starz in Vinton Louisiana.

1985 at its best!! What an album "Love"

Marcy Playground - Saint Joe on the Schoolbus

This is a great track. Has a real Nirvana feel to it...
