Was playing around with my off camera flash while at pool the other day:

Playing pool with long exposure
Went to play pool for brunch like we do every Sunday and took the chance to re-take a picture I tried last weekend. Only with much better results since I have a better grasp on what I am doing with the settings. (Click for big)
Break shot with the following settings:
Nikon D3000, F/22, 20 Sec Exposure, ISO-100, No Flash, 35mm Focal Length. Minor tweaks in Adobe CS2.
Red Dead Redemption and Hard Labor
Just a quick post to let you know I haven’t dropped off the face of the planet (again). The last few weeks have been spent diving into Rockstar’s new Red Dead Redemption and doing a bit of hard time demolition work in my back yard. I hope to get a review of RDR up soon as I am probably about 50% through it now. Initial reaction: Amazing, go get it and expect to spend most of your free time wandering around New Austin. Speaking of free time, in the back yard, I am tearing down the above ground pool that has lingered in all it’s ghettoness back there and it’s time for it to go. So I bought a new saw (Dewalt 13 amp Reciprocating Saw) and I am carving it up like a turkey. Hopefully I can take in the scrap metal and get some good cash out of it.
Also, we picked up a new car! We traded in the Honda Fit and got a Ford Escape Hybrid model. 2010 with all the bells and whistles. For a gadget geek like me it’s even got the Microsoft Sync stuff for integration with my phone. I might even do a little bit about that later, but I wanted to keep this short. So keep your eyes out for a full review of RDR and next on deck is Alan Wake! (which is sitting in all it’s shrink wrapped glory taunting me)
