First roll

ByMike McBride Reading Time: 1 minute

Yeah earlier this week I finished the first roll of film with the Minolta x700 SLR. Some of the pics were pretty good, some weren’t. I obviously got better at getting things in sharper focus as time went by, but I still need to practice and I need to be more aware of lighting and shadows. This camera is much more sensitive to light, I really need to slow down and frame the shot the best way for the light of the day, and get it in sharper focus. I’ve read where going too fast is a common mistake for newbie manual focus camera users, but being patient has never been a strong point of mine!

I’ll be getting some more practice with it tomorrow, as Angela and I are planning a trip to The Wilds.

That one, I think, will be…

    Scoble pointed to this story about the possibility of a Pocket PC pricewar just in time for Christmas. Given all the discussion we’ve had around here concerning PocketPC and Palm, it’s probably worth noting to someone planning to buy me a Christmas gift. 🙂 By the way, I think the deciding factor between PocketPc and…

    Angela, beat me to the details of the mystery weekend, including some pictures. I haven’t even offloaded pics from the CF card of my digital camera yet. I’m such a slacker. No, instead I was looking at some interesting things that came across my aggregator while I was sans internet connection. Check last nights postings…
