Busch Gardens Pictures added to Photo Gallery

I finally finished up a fair amount of my photos from the Busch Gardens trip and posted a handful of my favorites in the Photo Gallery. So go check them out!

I justed received my prints back from the lab on these and all I can say is WOW! The colors are just POPPIN off the paper. Kodak paper is the bomb. Just say NO to Walgreens, Walmart, and CVS for doing your prints. Send them buggers to MPIX.com and they will hook you up on the consumer side. I use Millerslab which is the main company for business Pro's. But you get the same processing through MPIX, just some of the Pro photographer services that are needed are offered by Millerslab. If I want just basic 4x6 prints I just use MPIX.com because oddly enough they are cheaper for some reason.

Kodak E-Surface paper is nice paper. It is much better than Fuji paper I think. I will not use Fuji if I have a choice. Not that Fuji is horrible or anything, I just see a difference in paper feel and the colors. I just prefer the E-Surface paper over the Fuji.

Renting L glass for Canon

I had the pleasure of renting some Canon L Glass from a site called RentGlass.com. I ordered up a lovely 70-200mm L F/4 white dream. Received it a couple days later and my bill for the weekly rental came to $34 bucks. Yep, thats right! L glass for mere pennies on the dollar.

I used this lense all week to take a bunch of photos, including those at Busch Gardens and a friends daughter's birthday party. This lense is excellent with beautiful colors. Sharpness, let me tell you this momma was hands down sharp as a tack. EF lenses are nice but L glass is where it's at.

Do yourself a favor and rent some glass and try it out. I'm going to pick up a 100-400mm on my next rental excursion. After that I'm going to buy some L glass for sure. I just can't stand to not have my own. How could anyone after trying one.

Busch Gardens

Well, I'm a busy little bee, buzz buzzing around and around. So last weekend off to Tampa we went to visit some friends for a weekend of fun. And did we have some fun. We went out on the town where I had my first taste of Cristal Champagne, celebrated a birthday ( photo practice for me ), consumed some delicious foods prepared by our host, and enjoyed a day at Busch Gardens.

It was a much needed break from the daily grind where it would seem the days were going by with no great adventure. I hope we can have more excursions with the Tampa crew again. What a blast!

Happy New Year

It is a New Year and a chance at new things. Just be sure to sign all your papers with the 2006 year stamp now.

The year in review was, well, last year so lets not dwell on it. I didn't win the lotto and I didn't break my $100,000 dollar bank goal. So it was just another year. Perhaps this year will be remarkable year. You listening Ed McMann? I'm ready for my winnings!!!!

I need to redo the website to a more flowing Photo viewing setup. I just can never decide on a layout and color style. Perhaps in couple of weeks I'll bite the bullet and get it squared away.
