It’s a Toad!

It’s, a, bloody, toad! before I goto sleep at night I like to watch TV, and Who Wants to be a Millionaire was on and this question comes up. Right away I said, Horned Toad. The person on stage was unsure and figured it could be the Whale Shark. Sad. So they called in a lifeline, the Plus 1, also unsure they guessed the Whale Shark. Oh boy. Last she asked the attendance and they confirmed to me over 70% of the people there might of failed their biology class. That or never took it.

No Pants Metro Ride ’15 Photos

That, was a good day. I was the ride captain for the Culver City group riding on the expo line. Basically my job was to help people get their passes, to make sure they get on the train, and answer any questions they had. I had a pretty big group with me so that was fun. After we all got on the train we then went to Union Station were all groups from each line converged. After being there for a half hour it was time to start heading to the red line for the final leg of our journey to Hollywood where we flooded the street with our pantsless glory. We then went to near by bar along hollywood blvd, Loaded, and had ourselves a nice little after party. By the time I left most of the people inside had their pants on.

While on my way back home I found a few other people waiting for the train back that had already repantsed by then, and so did I.

I have to say, that was a good first event for the new camera.

It’s the Little Things…

That sometimes make you feel better about yourself. I posted this on the event page for last years no pants to share with people my photos from previous events for people to tag each other on Facebook and get some ideas of what to do. Soon after I saw this comment. What was kind of meant to be a slightly selfish act to bring attention to myself, I didn’t expect I would cause someone to conquer up the courage to join in. A few hours ago I had discovered the person is joining once again. I hope to meet him this time.

Sometimes the best rewards are what to don’t expect, nor asked for.

Testing Shots

While playing with the picture setting on my camera I found something I like. Something about me is that despite the darkness within, I see the world as bright and colorful, and I wish to show that to the world in my photos. So I have the setting on photo style to reflect that as much as I can with my camera to have high sharpness, contrast, saturation, and color tone.

After some playing around these three I found myself liking most with the sharpness, contrast and color tone to the max, but the saturation is at the low, middle, and high end on each photo because I felt the very high looked like a bit much. I guess more experimentation needs to be done.

First Video from new Camera

Yes, yes it does, my new camera also does video. And you have no idea how much of a hassle it is to figure out how to upload something like this to vine. Really, total pain in the ass. But I found something so that is whats important. but yes, that’s what she did, after I pulled everything out she jumped in and decided to take a nap. Really strange cat thing if you ask me.

First photo

On my new 70D, it looks nice. Afterwards I played with some of the setting to get the style and look I’m after on my photos. And the best part of this photo is that this is the box my camera and everything else came in.

A New Era has Begun

I’ve been waiting for a week for this. I originally wanted to get the 60D, and then when I saw how cheap the refurbished one was awhile back I decided to go for that. After all it’s still gong to be really good. Later after checking again I saw on canons site it was no longer in stock, and decided to go with the refurbished 70D. The lens attached is still no good and needs to be fixed, again, so I’ll be using my kit lens to get everything. Can’t wait to take this on an adventure.
