Trying to Bee a photographer

Today I've spent taking photos.  This is a photo of a bee that I took this afternoon in the plant that is outside the front.  Not bad for my first day taking pictures.  I am certainly glad that I bought the camera when I get shots like this.  Now I've just got to try and make them clearer.

Happy Snapping

I am now the  proud owner of a Nikon D80.  I finally made my decision with the help of Stewart and several camera shops in Brisbane.  I actually bought it through the internet and picked it up from their Brisbane office the next day.  It's all very exciting, now I've just got to figure out how to use it.

Buying a Digital SLR Camera

At the moment I am looking at buying my first digital SLR camera.  I've been looking at a few and there are two major contenders.  The first is the Nikon D80 while the second is the Canon 40D.  They are both excellent cameras with many excellent features.  At the moment I'm still trying to choose between them.  I want a digital SLR so that I can take more varied photographs including macro.  I went and had a look at both cameras today.  The Nikon is easier to use but the Canon has a better lens choice.  Now I've seen them I will cogitate and hopefully come to a decision.

Passing First Semester

Today I received my results back from my first semester of university.  I wasn't confident on how I went but thought I would at least pass.  I wasn't really in a rush to check them and forgot about them until mid morning. Hoping for a pass mark I logged on to SOLAR.   I shouldn't have been so worried.

Not bad.  I am now looking forward to looking over my exam to see which questions I got wrong, but, I don't they let you do that.  Never mind.  I'm happy with the results.
