Slow Day

August 26, 2007

Not a whole lot happened today. It is still so hot here in Pittsburgh, and I mean it is like the tropics here. but that is beside the point. I headed down to Saddle Ridge to see some friends that I havent seen for a while and it was a blast. Tomorrow at church is a group performing to raise money for orphans, but I dont know what country they are from.

Oh well, more on that tomorrow.

Live

August 24, 2007

It has been so great to be home over these past few days, but the heat here in Pa has been almost unbareable! I am trying to get everything finished up so that I can head back to Pelee over Labor Day, and if everything goes as planed I will be relaxing on the beach for a few more days before the fall starts.

I also just recently sent a resume donw to a newspaper in SE Missouri, and I hope to hear back from them. Keep your fingers crossed. I would love to get back into journalism, and be able to bring to light some of the stories that I think are important.

Nikon D3

August 23, 2007

So i was looking around online today, and I just saw an article on the new Nikon D3. They say that it is supposed to come out in November, and it seems like it would be exactly what I want. Only one problem. IT is a full frame camera. Nowm I am not currently sure if the camera will still be able to use DX lenses when shooting at full resolution, but it still has a 2x crop mode and can shoot upto 11 frames per second. My biggest reason for being excited is that it boasts a better auto focus than the D2h and D2x and has a normal noise range of 200 iso – 6400iso, and a high 2 that goes to 25000 iso.

I only hope that the camera can still use dx lenses, and i hate the idea of needing a 300 when my 70-200 was the same distance.
