Long time no write

Well, I set off to the city today with my 21st birthday present - a $200 gift voucher for a camera store - and two weeks pay, and I have returned with a Nikon D60 kit. Still need to buy a tripod, but I don't care. I have a DSLR, and even with the cheapest Nikkor lenses I'm already seeing the benefits. Nice photos at 800 ISO? Yes please!

Ok, well I just had my first go at HDRI using FDR Tools Basic. Can you say ghosting? Because I can. I have just one question for all you HDRI veterans:

HOW DO YOU MAKE THE CLOUDS SIT STILL?!

Seriously, cutting out the ability to see what's popular is one of the dumbest things they could have done in this place. I know with only three watchers people aren't going to see this much, but if I can get you three watchers to repost this, that'd be great. Let's all do our bit to restore sanity in this place.

Oh god...

After two days of navigating around my computer with a tablet and stylus, the mouse feels like a sticky rock. How did I ever use that thing?

And still more...

Well, I now also have a UC-Logic graphics tablet, which has no taken over from my mouse not only in photoshop but also as a general purpose pointing device...I think I'm in love.

Hoya Polarizing Filter is also on the way, looking forward to playing with that. Now I've really gotta curb my spending, things I actually need before Uni goes back have been taking a back seat lately. But oh, how I love having all these new gadgets! Especially the camera!
