My Photographic Vision class has turned out to be very interesting. I'm still struggling a bit with the "vision" part but I'm getting there. I got a bonus at work last week and went out and bought myself a new camera. I went from somewhat compact to bulky; got a Canon Digital Rebel T4i and a telephoto lens to go with it. My Lumix is about 7 years old. Still takes great pictures but wanted to try a DSLR and all of the added functionality that goes with it. Gotta take black and white photos this week for my camera project. Hopefully I'll get some good ones.<br /><br />MichelleAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3877837189620830161.post-69803487709124684632013-03-07T04:52:00.179+09:002013-03-07T04:52:00.179+09:00Ha, this isn't the first time I break my bones...Ha, this isn't the first time I break my bones. I broke the other femur before Robin was born and spent 3 months in hospital in Okayama. I've broken my arm 2 or 3 times as well. After all these years I'm not gonna start bowing to the whims of fate. Get knocked down, unavoidable, but once down you have the responsibility to take your life in your own hands, get off your back and do the hard work of getting back on your feet. Giving up on that responsibility is like signing your own death warrant. <br /><br />Thanks for the good wishes...<br /><br />...and yes, I like my new camera. It's a good mid-range model, a kind of cross between a DSLR (digital single lens reflex) and a simple point and shoot portable. It's still pocketable (though a little bulkier) than a simple point and shoot, and the the power of the lens is closer to the picture quality of a DSLR. It also gives you more flexibility in that you can make manual adjustments if you like by taking the camera off Automatic mode...a fetish for so-called "advanced" photographers perhaps.Noilly Prattlehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10388883428138567555noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3877837189620830161.post-17532862080480124662013-03-06T03:18:10.648+09:002013-03-06T03:18:10.648+09:00Great pictures!

Glad to see you're enjoying your new camera.<br /><br />I knew a little thing like breaking the largest bone in the human body and a acquiring a little titanium hardware wouldn't be enough to keep you down! Great to see you up and around...and showering :)<br /><br />MichelleAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
