Btw, did I mention that spammers are lame? And stupid to boot?
I’ve turned on comment moderation cos of the commetn spam I was receiving (i.e. comments with links to porn, viagra etc etc in them).
So why are spammers stupid?
1. For goodness sake pick a blog with better reach if you want to do this
and
2. The comments won’t show up anyway so why bother?
Oh well.

I remember when I was growing up I didn’t particularly like having my photo taken. For one thing you didn’t know how it would turn out until a few days/weeks later and for another, you keep getting yelled at to smile more or smile less or whatever cos film was limited and nobody wanted to take 6-7 shots of the same thing “just to be sure”.
Now however, my daughter loves having her photo taken, simply because she knows that she can see herself in the LCD playback instantaneously. What this also means is that it’s impossible to catch her in a candid moment since she will insist on seeing her picture once she hears the shutter snap and she start posing after that. I wonder what will happen if I shoot her with a film camera

One of my collegue’s eyeball.. creepy eh?

Taken using the 20D and 2 x 50mm/F1.8 head to head (1 is reversed) at infinity.

Canon EOS 20D test, originally uploaded by wantunn.

Shot with a 50mm f/1.4 head to head with a reversed 50mm f/1.8.

Handheld (both the camera and reversed lens) so excuse the softness.

No prizes for guessing what the subject is.

Ok. Apparently it didn’t take that long to make a decision, especially at the price offered. So now I’m a 20D user. 8.2megapix, 5 fps, 100-3200 ISO etc etc.
Look out for more photos. Yah right.

Not really
Just a case of selling and buying (eventually) so not many photos to post for a while although I still have the mju and S1 around.
Still contemplating what to get as a replacement. The 30D sounds nice but the 20Ds are reaching a really sweet price, especially the 2nd hand ones. Decisions decisions…
