hello..how are you today.. over a month or so and hadn't updated so I figured I'd give an update in the life of an Acey

lets see.... hi..

christmas and new years have passed.. both quite interesting happenings.. car being annoying.. etc etc etc


Photography stuff... yeah I havn't taken any pictures in ages.. totally over this auto digi camera I have.. it eats batteries like candeh so isn't worth it.. if someone wants to buy it off me cheap.. lemme know... original price was about 370 back in 07 [link] .... yes it was cold and very windy.. down in Melbourne for Manifest 07 when I bought it. ( yes it comes with a 1Gb XD card)
~~ Most pictures on my DA that I've said I took.. I used that camera ~~

In a month or two I'll have enough saved up for a nice DSLR.. am putting aside $1000 for it. so that should be good.

and to those wondering.. No.... no to what you say?

well lets put it this way

No.. I won't suddenly become a "Cosplay Photographer"
No.. I won't suddenly Know everything about being a "Photographer"
NO.. I won't suddenly become a "PROFESSIONAL" photographer
NO.. I won't have 1337 skillz0rs in Photo-shopping ( aka sh00p da w00p . I've never used the program or ever had it.. Paint ftw!!!
NO.. I aint getting into the drama and shit throwing about people "thinking" Im going to be everything about a photographer.. then dishing dirt when it isn't up to their " expectations"


Hi.. I'm Acey... my normal name? Nicholas
Yes.. I like to take pictures
Yes.. I am buying a DSLR
Yes.. I did Photography classes back in highschool and really enjoyed them ( back when we had to develop our own film)
Yes.. I want to take pictures of Landscapes, people (in cosplay and not ), figurines, animals, etc etc.. you get the picture ( heh.. I made a funny ) <---- First person to guess what movie that quote is from gets a plushie mailed to them.

and all importantly

Yes..

I'd like to Meet with other Photographers and spend time with them to learn and improve my own skills with a camera..

what camera? I have no clue when it comes to buying one.. if you can suggest one I'd be more than appreciative..

Criteria
to spend Approximately $1000
what I'm taking pictures off...
well from a distance of 10cm's to 6 foot to open
what I'd like from the camera
Auto+Manual Focus
Slight zoom ( to control depth of perception )
Aperture Control
Shutter speed Control
Multi-shot ability

yes .. I kinda know what I want... a camera that I can make do what I want it to do ( I forced an auto digi camera to do what I want)


/camera rant

what else.... Cons this year

I won't promise cosplays.. as I'm quite random ( and lazy ) when it comes to it..
a bunch I need to do and want to do.. if you want to help.. give me a yell and I'd be super appreciative. and buy you candy.

Mini-animania(SYD) - will probably go to but NOT go in... just too many people last year.. it looked like a major hazard.

sydnova - of course..

Main Animania - yes..

Armageddon ( syd) - maybe will see


oh and how could I forget

watch our you Brisbanites or however you want to spell it

I intend to road trip it up to brisbane for
BRISNOVA!!!!!
I'm taking two weeks off work to go.. so I hopefully can visit every single one of you out there..
what I want?
visit people
crash at peoples places
cosplay fun lolz
get absolutely slaughtered on Alcamahol or something at least one night..or two.. or three....etc..
enjoy myself
