Pixels 'n bits, 'n bits, 'n bits
Mar. 14th, 2003 08:55 amSo, yesterday ended up being Fun with Digital Camera day. I've had the thing less than a week and already I consider it a surprisingly essential toy. First I went on a nice walk in the cemetery with my friend M, and we took pictures of the snow-covered trees / statues / tombstones. Some of them came out pretty nicely, and while we were in there we saw a fox! It was great. I'd never seen a fox in real life before.
M also told me about this cool amateur site for digital photographers. There are some neat pictures there.
Had a late quick weightlifting session... then after I finally got home A and I discovered the "white board" mode of the camera, which makes all tones either WHITE or BLACK. Very dramatic and reminiscent of old detective novels, somehow. Once I got the light right I got a couple of pix of A that way that we both really like (which is extra-cool since he's hard to photograph well). Then we figured out the delayed shutter thing and got one of both of us together. Of course I have not uploaded any of this to my real website yet... but as I was lying in bed I was thinking about it, and I got some inspired ideas for website upgrades. Doing it all would require learning a few things... but that could be fun. I haven't had a good technical project going on the side since last summer.
After the pix and before the inspiration, A and I stayed up cleaning the house until 12:30 AM so the FMIL wouldn't expire when she walks in. It looks nice now.
