The first day I had my new DSLR
I know I had not posted an image in a while. I finally got my library together. I was consolidating hard drives trying to fit everything to one place. I think I finally got it. Now I want to buy an Apple Time Capsule. The 1TB version. Then I can get rid of the crappy Linksys wireless router I got.
So about the Pic…Like the title says, I took this picture the first day I owned my Canon D30. I bought it used off of ebay. I know what you are thinking, “Buying a used camera off of Ebay, are you crazy. Without even seeing it!” It was actually a good deal. I do not remember what it came with. I had a couple of lenses that I sued to use with my old Rebel 35mm. After i got it I went to the store and ran some errands. I remember that much. This was when we lived in San Antonio. We lived in the Creekside subdivision. This is a view from my drive way look west. You can see the sun, duh! Maybe I should not have been shooting or looking that much at the sun, but I like this pic for that reason. The large fire just blazing in the sky. The sun amazes me, from a photography and scientific perspective. I know people do things to get rid of flare, but I think it adds something to this picture. I was going to photoshop this pic, but I decided not to.
Well, let me know what you think. This photo was taken in on October 22, 2003. Shutter speed 1/350 F/13 ISO 400 Focal length was 35mm. No flash, just a UV filter, hence the flare spots.
You can see my old truck off to the right.
