I Got a D-SLR!!!
Sunday, October 22, 2006
I’m so happy! I’ve been wanting a Digital SLR Camera for about 10 years now and i finally got one!
So here are the first fruits of my labor with my D-SLR. I got to take some random shots AND i got to take pics at the LLJC IRON CHEF: Battle of the Ages social. The social took months of planning, but it was totally worth it! I’ll write more about this later. For now, you’ll have to just enjoy the pics! 
Suz looking pensive...and a little pissed.
Me with a lot of soft focus (to hide my wrinkles)
Slim playing his DS while I read the camera manual and experiment at Starbucks
Slim’s moving so fast that his hands are a blur!
The first of the Iron Chef pics. This is mochi in the foreground with the chef, Takako, in the background with her son Rayme, interviewing her about her cooking techniques.
Aunty Leh tosses some great winter melon creations!
Baby Maya with her grandpa Mory, looking super cute in her fuzzy hat!
Kimi and Ashley look a lot alike. Don’t you think they could pass for sisters?
A D80 I’m guessing. I’m jealous. I’ve been wanting a DSLR for awhile too, I think I may end up getting a Pentax K10D if it ends up being as good as it looks.
Posted by jimbo on 10/23 at 10:37 AMOh yeah, i didn’t even mention which model. Yup! It’s the D80! It’s working like a dream! ^___^
I can’t wait to shoot things! (on a non-violent way of course)
Posted by on 10/23 at 05:16 PMHey, violent photography could be interesting! As long as I’m far away.
And the most pertinent question: what is Slim playing on his DS?
Posted by Greg on 10/23 at 10:54 PMso can we have a detailed post explaining why you decided to go with the D80 vs. all the other D-SLRs out there?
thx in advance
Posted by on 10/24 at 09:35 AMCongrats! I’m torn between the D80 and the D200. I’d love to have the 5FPS of the D200. The Pentax K10D looks pretty interesting also.
Time to retire my Canon 20D to backup status.
