First of many?

*Gasp* It's a picture...that I took. We went to the Rose Garden to take some pictures....forgot roses aren't in bloom yet heh. Ended up just messing around. It was fun, got to take some pictures with the new camera. It performed alright. Was off on a few things but has some cool functions that, sort of make up for what it lacks....sort of.



This is one of the functions. It's called "Color Accent" you select a color you want to keep and the rest turns balck and white. Well almost the rest, I picked the Orange trumpet to stay in but somehow the camera kept some of the yellow on the petals in as well. I don't mind though...thought it looked cool



This one is "Color Swap" I selected the dark green to be replaced by red...viola, pretty weeds. Maybe Mother Nature could go with red crab grass this year...I think it might be a nice change of pace. Then again, I'm just weird.

All in all it was a fun day of shooting. Took about 80 or so pictures, liked 4 or 5... but the new camera is nice to have while my arm heals. It still annoys me in the way all PAS cameras do, but it's a decent little one.

I still love my Nikon more though :)

Double take...

There is a new toy on my desk (it's not THAT kind of toy...) It's small, metalic and black. I'm sure it's a wonderful object but I am so what hesistant to touch it. Will the Nikon gods smite me? Will the other photographers point and mock openly at this small trinket? Like an unimpressed teenager I sort of poke it. It's small. That's my only thought...not it's compact and carryable...but it's whimpy.

I have a new gadget. It's not better, it's different. It's easy, sort of. It's kind of fun. Free flowing expression and silly thoughts abound with it. The gods didn't smite me, I'm not on their favorite list I'm sure though...and other photographers can mock if they must. At least theives don't see dollar signs around my neck anymore. I'm not happy, but i'm content. For now it's acceptable, for now it's the only option I have.

Two from One...

Hello all. My sister has requested more frequent updates and I kind of suck at them. I'm not good at details of my day in a good way... so sorry no great updates from me. The simple setences of Pria is fine, growing like crazy and eating constantly...and...Chris is good, getting burnt out on the stresses of Intel but another job just isn't available right now...will have to suffice. I'm sure I could be more creative, but some how that always ended me in trouble...and I'm trying to avoid that right now. So without further distraction, I give you the Nagel family update!

Pria - She's fine, having some melt downs lately but they aren't called growing pains for no reason.

Chris - Is...Chris? Like I'd know if he's doing good or not...he's a guy and wont talk...so watch carefully as I preform mime to explain it all.

Angie - I am....ummm let's see what's a nice word for it....no not tha one... gracious no...that's definitely NOT a nice word...what about...nah that's just silly to say...ok how about...I am fine.
