Flickr Photos
Just a little FYI. I've been posting some of my photos to Flickr (an online photo hosting service). You will be able to view the photos in higher detail here.

Through the Viewfinder: Ryan's Project 1 Photos
Tonight George, Caroline, and I went out for a couple hours of photography. We have started going through some projects outlined in a photograph book I have. Check out my post on a blog I created specifically for tracking our progress.

Duel of the Cameras
So with a new camera in the house, of course there were many photos to be taken. George can be seen taking my photo.
Of course Alex was outraged at all the pictures.

Photography
For those of you who missed out on the news from last week, I'll share it now.
So last Thursday I finally caved and went off to buy my long sought camera. The camera I've been drooling over for the last year, has been the Nikon D70s Digital-SLR (well it was the D70 I drooled over until they released the slightly upgraded D70S). Needless to say, it wasn't a cheap investment, but it will have me set for a very long time.
I got the kit version which came with a 18-70mm lens--equivlant to 27-105mm on a 35mm SLR. So, some of you are probably wondering what that 35mm equivlance thing was about. Nikon, as well as most D-SLR manufactures, create their digital SLRs with a sensor that is not actually 35mm in size (please refer to this article for the logic behind doing so). Due to this smaller size it causes the lens to behave as if it has a longer focal length. For Nikon's DX format, the factor is 1.5 times that of the 35mm focal length. So my 24mm wide-angle lens turns into a 36mm lens when attached to my D70S (as opposed to my F65). But this does come in handy when doing telephoto work; my 70-300mm lens becomes a 105-450mm, so it does have its advantages.

First Photo Session
Unfortunately I was unable to do any special photo session last night--I was stuck monitoring my email to support work folks in Malaysia. However, George and I did end up taking some photos from his apartment. Got some nice ones of the night streets.
I anticipate many more will be taken this weekend during the Niagara Ice Wine Festival. :)

Today is the Day
Well today is the day I cave. After work George and I are going to go visit Henry's. What I come home with I'll leave you all to guess for a little bit. :)
