So I’ve always wanted a digital SLR camera and this weekend I finally pulled the trigger and went for it. The only thing holding me back was the size of it and I didn’t really want to look like a tourist. haha. But the images it takes is just on a different level and it makes snapping pictures of my fish tank that much more fun now. Then I figured the times I’d probably use this is when I’m a tourist so I should fit right in. haha.

So far I’m a complete NOOB when it comes to this stuff so I’ve been reading and learning and just snapping pictures left and right. The best feature I’ve found out so far to snap fishes is the sports mode. so what’s this hear about lens and flashes and how they’re going to cost more than the camera itself?

oh yea…I did find a carrying bag that doesn’t make you really look like a tourist, they actually look like messenger bags if you’re interested. They’re called Crumpler bags.

I got a new camera finally and first thing to do? take some pictures! i’ll talk more about my camera in another post but wanted to share these first!

saw this picture which was very nicely done and thought it was funny the two views that can come from one object. enjoy!

I had the chance to go back to Disneyland and ofcourse the first ride I had to check out was the Finding Nemo Ride (used to be the submarine ride back in the days). The wait was a lil’ over an hour but the line moved fast and it was worth the wait. i can totally see kids wanting a fish tank after this ride. Here are some pictures from the ride.

forget making a snowman! i’m going to make a snow bear! too bad there’s no snow where I’m at.

This was such an awesome picture. This is from the Smithsonian National Museum of Natural History’s “Nature’s Best 2007″ photo series. I was just browsing through and this one stood out the most to me. There are a few other ones that you can check out (see link below).
