More Cat
My cat, he has clown feet.

I broke the mounting tabs off of my 18-55 kit lens and its in for repairs now. I'm shooting things, timidly, with the bazooka-length telephoto lens. I took a jpeg of my car for my Fuelly page with it, and I had to stand back like a quarter mile to get just the little bit in the shot.

Audio Nerd Training

In a move to make us more potentially useful, a grip of us non-audio-nerds got shoved into a one-day seminar held by Yamaha's commercial audio training crew.  Full hands-on training of the super duper PM5D digital board, culminating with a nifty little paper handout stating I'm certified to touch one "for reals" now!

 

Shot was taken in a fairly dim room and I asked my buds there to stay still for a third of a second while I burned an image onto the CCD gained up to 1600 ISO.

The class was pretty great for me, while I already knew a fair amount of "I know what I want, so I poke shit till I get there" common tasks, the class gave me a ton of shortcuts and proper procedures.  I've been using digital Yamaha boards for years now, so I wasn't really too timid to begin with, but now I can't wait to dive into the FoH board and pester the real audio nerds with suggestions on how to make my video production audio signal from them "better".

July 4th

Obligatory fireworks jpeg.  Shutter was open 3 seconds, my first use of my silly little plastic toy tripod.  Later, some lady bitched at me for "crashing" her fireworks party and demanded to know where I lived.  I pointed at my house 2 doors down and she's like, "I've never seen you."  Well, duh, you're a bitch, that's why.
