#32. Fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu!

I stupidly tried to clean my focus mirror because there was so much dust inside, and I accidentally scratched it up. Also, the spring on the mirror is off it's track. I have to bring it to a repair shop on Monday. I wish they were open today. Good news is that it should cost less than $100...

NEVER stick a microfiber cloth inside the camera. Learned that the hard way...

#31. Car trails

I've done a few car trails before and tried them again tonight, but they didn't turn out the way I wanted. The headlights were blowing out the picture, and the background was too dark. Here's one shot I was okay with.

50mm ~ f/10 ~ ISO 100 ~ 2s

I should try again with a longer exposure and a tripod. I held my camera on a fire hydrant to steady it.

#30. Happy New Year!

I went to Borders and bought "Digital Photography Lighting for Dummies" today. It's a great read so far! I've been wanting to gander into more lighting for a while.

I found this site from a Canon forum and decided to give it a try. I still prefer Flickr at the moment.
