MrWaxhead

Very nice indeed!!!!!!!!!

Allie

Love the pixs....I so want your camera!!

bhcaaron

So... umm... what kind of camera do you have? Specifics would be nice. Love the sharpness, the colors, how clear they are.

Isabella

LOL, it's probably the cheapest Nikon camera there is (Nikon D40), but even cheapest DSLR ("digital single lens camera") cameras are a heaven better than regular digital cameras. I just bought it recently (because I've had enough of my old crappy camera) and I am still learning how to use it (not such a simple device at all, but once you've mastered it, you cat shoot great photos). What sets the "lens" cameras apart are precisely the lens. And it's not really the DSLR cameras that are this expensive, but the lenses themselves. The better the lens, the more expensive it is. You can change lenses in one DSLR camera to your liking. Ex. using special lenses for shots of tiny objects (telephoto lens), or wide-angle lens for beautiful landscape shots

Also, when you're taking pictures with this camera, you can adjust the contrast, vividness, tone, lightness, darkness, sharpness, etc ... of the pictures. So you can have your pictures coming out totally colorful or totally dull - whatever you like.

I still haven't got the camera in the mail yet. lol Great pics.

want to come over to take pics of our fish.. and forget the camera? really, keep 'em coming!

bhcaaron

All of this sounds so familiar from a photography class I took bank in high school. In reading your reply, I remember why I didn't like it so much... g.e.t.t.i.n.g d.i.z.z.y lol jk

Isabella

Tom and Dave, lol, maybe I should take a road trip to Colorado, and then straight to Canada. How about that, lol. I have, after all, cousins in Colrado and a childhood friend in Canada (Toronto), lol. But unfortunately, I've lost contact with her long ago

Bhcaaron, now I wish I had taken a photography class as my elective in college! Too bad it's too late now, lol And I know what you mean - there are so many things about such cameras that it may all quickly become too overwhelming at first.

Tom

I live in the middle of Canada anyways, so if you visited Toronto, it wouldn't make any dfference to me. lol
Tom

Isabella

LOL, it would make a difference since you wouldn't be getting the camera then, hehe The road trip would be to transport the camera, hehe.

Tom

There is so much more to see in Winnipeg than in Toronto. There is also a lot less smog/polution here. lol
Tom

bhcaaron

Haha! Booya Tom! Isabella just torched your... umm... booty!

Isabella

Tom, yes I've heard that Toronto is polluted compared to other parts of Canada. It's probably something like New York's pollution compared to other parts of the U.S. That's why I want to move out of NY, or at least further away from NYC. You know, like at least good 100 miles away from this toxic city. Not to mention I hate the climate here: the horrible humidity all year long + the horrible heat combined with humidity in the summer. It's like living on earth, not kidding at all. I love dry and cooler climates! Don't mind cold winters at all - I'd rather put up with cold winters than be in a humid climate all year long. Besides I LOVE SNOW!

Tom

You can move here. You can see for miles and miles because there isn't to block your view. lol And we have all the snow in the winter you could ever want. The only thing I would have to worn you about is the mosquitoes in the summer.
Tom

Neil

LOL Lived in TToronto in the early 70' and the late 80's and moved to the prairies. remembering having to shower 4 times in a day because of the humidity, morning/lunch/got home/before bed. The smog looming over the city was a little scary. Miss Kensington market and some other nice stuff but my health improved when I left

MrWaxhead

Yes tom those horrid things that block your view are called mountains, pretty things actually. We have lots of them out in BC hehe.

Isabella

Mr. Waxhead, don't mention the word "mountains" !!! You're making me want to move out of NY right now, lol. I LOVE mountains, and forests and the like It's so sad with respect to NY weather and the horrible smog over the city; the smog is in the areas surrounding the city as well Neil, I am 100% sure that NY weather is making A LOT of people very sick here. I am actually worried about my own health living here too (another reason I want to move out as soon as possible). Tom, it must be wonderful being able to have a view for miles and miles out of your window, or from the top of some hill. You're right, you CAN'T do that in NYC and areas surrounding NYC. I live in an immediate NYC suburb. And Tom, I'd be more than willing to substitute mosquitoes for humidity! You'd have to live in the middle of NYC for a while, especially during the summer, to really feel what the weather here is like. After one such summer, you'd be screaming "I want my mosquitoes back!" Seriously ...

You guys are all so lucky. I can't wait until I move out too! Somewhere in the mountains/forests in Colorado, Montana, or Canada would be certainly my dream! Somewhere dry and never humid ... ahh ... Only I'd probably not be able to find a job in my profession in the middle of the mountains or forests, lol. I wouldn't want to drive 1.5-3 hours one way to work! I have friends who live Upstate NY and have to drive for 1.5-2 hours just ONE WAY to work in the city! They have virtually no lives time-wise. I could probably move right now further away like my friends Upstate, but the long commute to work is the reason why I can't move out. Two hours just one way (4 hours a day) is a total waste of time for me, I couldn't do that. I want to actually find a job FIRST somewhere near where I want to live, and only then move out. But the problem always is, there are few jobs away from cities

P.S. Regarding mosquitoes, anybody ever heard "The Mosquito Song"? LOL

COBettaCouple

So is that why the state of NY is moving to florida?

Denver is right against the foothills of the Rockies but there are days you can't see the mountains for the pollution layer. hopefully you'll be able to see them when you come this way.

Tom

Ya, but I'm in the prairies and in the middle of the prairies too, so it is kind of hard to see a mountain from here, only because the long distance makes them look really small. lol
