Happy Independence Day!

Too bad I'm not active on the NaNo forums this time, because I just made a sig-ready avatar/doll of Kirill. It's not perfect - no frilly shirts, alas...



In other news, the parade was something of a dud - almost an hour late, barely ten minutes long, no marching skills to speak of, and a motorcycle broke down. But hey, pretty horsies ♥

I don't know how you manage to get birds to stay still for you photos, but I have envy ♥ The birds around here love to move, move and MOVE. But first one is my favourite followed by the fourth one of the car. I love old cars ♥ Very nice photos and the ones of autumn that you posted before are lovely, too!

Heh, this particular sparrow was eating some bread, so it had to sit still while it swallowed it ;) But usually I just take 20 photos of a bird and one or two come out well. That's why I love my digicam.

She's just adorable ♥

Oh! I'm still browsing for a digital camera, but I can DEFINITELY see that advantage. Though I'm still a little clingy to film. Can't help it, I suppose XD

Digital's a world of difference - if I want to take 30 photos of something, I can. And changing ISO sensitivities on the fly has also been an immense help!

I heartily recommend the KonicaMinolta Z series. Great optics, very smart cam-soft, and the zoom is unbelievable. Focus gets a little getting used to, but not too much, and the colours are lovely. Not to mention the fact that the flash is pop-up and far enough from the lens so as not to make your photos terribly flat. I've done night photos (recent cemetary series), sports, portraits, architecture, nature. Best low-end SLR I've seen, period :)

Oh yes, there are so many benefits with a digital camera. And ooh! So totally saving this bit of information because it's so helpful. Thank you! I'll poke around for this camera more. Your recommendation for it makes me really want to at least test it out ^.~ Thank you again!

Are you on Gaia Online, or is there an online avatar maker with their bases? :3

Thanks :) It's pretty rare to see sparrows around Warsaw these days - for some reason they seem to have given ground to pigeons and crows.
