Apr. 17th, 2007 08:06 amWeather is absolutely foul out there. Cold rain, very windy. Going to be nasty for the rest of the week too but at least we don't have to shovel it.
Picked up the camera yesterday and anxiously waited for the battery to charge up which was less time than i thought, considering i thought it would take all night for the first go round. Took a few pics in the apartment just to try it out and so far so good. Anti-shake isn't that good in low low light but then i wouldn't expect it to be. The zoom is pretty cool too. Can't wait to get right outside and test it properly. Not sure the digital zoom is going to be that much use but it might be better outside than inside. Cropping down a 5 mp. pic will probably be the better way to go there. Lots of settings and things to try out.
That painting i sold a few months back? She's finally sent the money order. Not to worry, I never sent the painting. Was waiting until i got the cash first. As it's on the way, i expect i will get it by the end of the week so will mail that off to her then. Someone else has bought another painting, the one i just did. We're working out a trade, small amount of cash and a one hour aromatherapy massage for it. Sounds fair to me :) I'm going to get a frame for another painting and give that to my aunt and uncle for their 50th wedding anniversary. The invitation arrived yesterday. Kind of had me with a lump in my throat though, because their wedding picture....Well, it's Dad's twin brother and though Uncle Keith's hair was different and his face was just a little heavier than Dad's, it wasn't that different from Mom and Dad's wedding photo taken the year before. Well, aside from the bride that is.
