||: Install ... Uninstall :||

My job, at present, seems to be just repeatedly installing and uninstalling the same application all day long; I'm about ready to snap.

I showed the new lens for my camera to someone from work today -- he's also getting into photography -- and now he wants to get the equivalent lens for his Nikon camera. He was also amazed by how light my camera is in comparison to his, what with his being digital and mine being 35mm.

Today's picture, "Chilly", was taken with the kit lens that my camera came to me with. The film was a nice contrasty colour reversal film, so the trees come out as black and white depending on whether they're in shadow or sunlight, and the sky came out a glorious blue colour (seems the film was quite blue-sensitive). Sadly there was a bit of grain, presumably from the age of the film, but also possibly from the airport baggage scanners. They can supposedly cause additional grain on film. The worst thing is that the film scanner that Jessops use appears to add noise to the image, too. Still, I'm quite proud of the shot.
