bury me in this dress

I finally uploaded the photos I took that night. My write-up about the event will follow…sometime this week. Just click the photo to get to the album.

I got myself a paid flickr account last October so I decided to fully utilize it by linking photos I’ve uploaded there to this blog. I’ve been procrastinating (it took me almost 2 months just to search for a plugin) and just tried several plugins tonight, most of which are kinda crappy. Then I tried this fucktastic plugin by tantan and went a bit apeshit. It’s awesome. Now I have a gallery inside my theme and there’s an option for a widget (check the side panel). I’m still using WP 2.1.3 and have no plans of upgrading anytime soon cos of possible plugin conflicts. I don’t know if the plugin will work with the latest release but I still recommend it.

I uploaded to flickr my first attempt at digital photography. Please check it out and give me comments. Most of my shots are blurred, I know.

Last night I bought my D80 kitlens from Daphne. She included a wireless remote, a UV lens, and a 4gb memory card. I got them for P44K and it still has warranty from Columbia. I took some photos during and after dinner but I’m too ashamed to post them here. Besides, I haven’t uploaded them to my laptop cos I’ve ran out of space. Anyway, I’ll post photos AFTER I’ve read the manual.

I haven’t had any sleep yet so pardonne-moi if this entry lacks coherence.

I’m gonna get me some DSLR loving for mah birthday. I have enough for a brand new Canon 400D with kitlens but what I really want is a 40D or a Nikon D80. I read on some forums here that Nikon’s service center really sucks so that’s a major drawback. Otherwise, I would really get the D80 even if it’s over my budget. The 40D is the most expensive among the three but that’s what I really really want because it does well on low light situations. Too bad for me cos I can’t afford it unless I get more birthday money or people buy all the stuff I’m selling (plug: I’m having a sale! go visit my store and buy!) or rich sultan falls in love with me and showers me with money. I wonder how much my digicam would fetch if I sell it. I just bought it early this year.

I’m going to get myself a DSLR for my birthday but I don’t know what to get. Rain recommended Nikon D40 so I read up on it and fount out it has no exposure adjustments. I’m not planning to be one of those who keep on upgrading their cameras. I think being able to adjust exposures will matter in the far future. Unfortunately, my budget is 30K…hopefully I’ll find a good camera for less than that amount. Throw me your suggestions, my photography freak friends!
