Canon G9

Well I decided to hold off on getting a new DSLR and picked up a Canon G9. I have been really impressed with the camera so far and still have tons to learn. One big cinch for me was that the camera provided the ability to hack a new firmware. This opens up other features like HD video, time-lapse photography, and many other features.

Let me know what you think of my first shot. This was on the side of the road on the way to Rayne. It was unbelievably foggy!

GEAR GOING FAST – Black Friday/Cyber Monday SALE

EVERYTHING MUST GO! PRICES NEGOTIABLE!!

I figured everyone else was running a special Black Friday/Cyber Monday sale so I had a few things that I wanted to put on the market that are for sale. I am trying to sell a few things to raise some money to replace my stolen Nikon D200. Let me know if you are interested! If you are local and I know you I will accept check, money order, cash, or paypal. If you are stumbling upon this on the internet I will only accept paypal or money order. I would take actual pictures of the devices on request, but I don’t have a camera anymore so some of these images are stock. If more information is needed or pictures requested I will make sure to add them.

Nikkor 35mm 1.8 DX Lens

This is a great lens and I really hate to part with it, but I recently purchased another lens that replaced it’s need. Seeing as my camera was STOLEN, it doesn’t make much since for me to keep this lens when I don’t have a camera for it to go on. This lens was fantastic for low light and amazingly sharp. It provided a great depth of field at lower stops and was sharp as hell. More info: http://tinyurl.com/dcokgh

This netbook has been a great addition to my computer arsenal. It started out as a pet project that I had tons of fun working on. The computer is running OS X Snow Leopard version 10.6.1 UPDATE: 10.6.2 and dual boots OS X and Lite Version of Windows XP. UPDATE: I have cleaned the machine and just reloaded OS X to save space. This machine was great for surfing the net while watching TV and especially useful for testing websites in Internet Explorer for screen size and browser compatibility. It was a great note-taking or on the run machine. More info: http://tinyurl.com/57kdop and http://tinyurl.com/yzptv6e
