I have to eventually return one of the Canons to my mum, as it is hers. I just grabbed all things camera related from her house. (she really doesn't understand how to use the camera, so is of little...

I've seen that website before and I think they look really fun, but I'd like to hear from someone who tried them to see how they really are. They may just be a great way to get super sore feet,...

I'm excited to learn to how to use the camera. I'm really not so concerned about the film aspect... Sure, it's a bit expensive, but not thousands of dollars expensive.

Anyway, I'm home and going...

Oh, and up until this point I have just been fiddling the aperture and shutter speed until the light meter is in the center. I realized I didn't have a clue, so I better do as the camera tells me. :)

That Simcam link is great.

So, what's the difference between aperture priority, and just setting the camera to auto?

What would an aperture priority setting look like?

I don't know what the lenses are off the top of my head, I can check exactly when I get home.

After doing some reading, I feel like what I need to work on most is composing my photos. I want to...

I'm really enjoying this Ken Rockwell website. Much more than I would be enjoying doing any work I'm supposed to be doing right now...

Thanks for the link!

I am looking into taking classes, but most of the art colleges are geared towards digital, and I didn't see any classes offered at the community colleges. (If any knows of any in Boston, let me...

I have inherited an old film SLR. It's an Olympus OM-2. It has many lenses and filters and other things I don't know how to use that go with it.

Since starting to play with it I've become a bit...

I have been trying to gather gear with the least amount of money spent. So, I'm hoping this pack works out well. I can give a review of it next fall after I've been using it for a season.

I...

I've been fiddling with it, trying to get to know all the compartments and find good ways to pack it. It does seem the pockets on the hip belt are near useless. They would maybe fit a chapstick.

Just went out to REI and got my first very own pack. I toyed with a few packs that our parents gave us from their garages, but none of them actually fit me. So, for x-mas I asked my boyfriend to...

I also thing it's important to make sure you're wearing the right bra size. Some rediculous percentage of women wear the wrong bra size.

I was just lucky enough to meet someone who knew a lot...

I bought my trail runners recently, and am happy. See here http://www.whiteblaze.net/forum/showthread.php?t=42187

I mentioned estimated time in my Evite in addition to miles.

After doing half the hike on the planned trail, it really reassured me I had picked a great trail for a beginners hike. It was EASY...

I've been waiting to say something about my latest acquisition. I was afraid it wasn't going to be worth the money (money I didn't really have to spend...).

I switched from an older version of...

The hike was fun! We made a detour about half way through to make the hike a bit more challenging, since I had planned such an easy hike. It was still a pretty laid back hike.

The one girl that...

Well, not everyone backed out. My officemate is still coming. She's bringing her son and her dog. They are all experienced hikers.

I'm changing this to a non-gender-biased hike. :)

So, it seems as the hike is coming up, everyone is pulling out. I'm a little heartbroken, but I'll keep my chin up.

I still plan on doing the hike by myself, since I've had this plan for weeks,...

Great picture! I thought the same thing a lot of people thought... It looks HUGE for a black bear. Rolly polly bear. :)

Naughty, naughty... :sun

I've been here on a day hike recently. There is a road probably 1/4 mile from the shelter, but it's unfortunately closed until 2009. Several roads going up Greylock and in the surrounding area are...

So, if I pretend to not like backpacking, my man will carry me HOW many bottles of wine? :D

I had to look up what "vibram" was, and I found these. http://www.vibramfivefingers.com/

Has anyone tried something like this? Think it's a good idea, or a great way to get hurt?
