Surprisingly, i'm in this picture, as are both of my friends, the chances of that are extremely slim. I'll not be highlighting (thats a clue) my location, but i'm sure you can guess.

@JDog, your the girl in the pink shirt center frame bottom? :-]

On a side note, update your blog JDog, lol. I left you a comment case you didnt notice.

Note for Rob - I asked you about this a while back, cameras that is, I am looking at this, a little less expensive than the F100FD, just wondering if you have any thoughts on it?

[Shawn]

Crap, sorry, forgot the link:

I am a total noob as far as photography goes, but pictures on your site have inspired me, so I am looking for an entry level digital camera. The F100FD is not out of my price range, I just wonder how "noob" friendly it is.

Now I feel like a spammer, but this is the ad in the USA at BestBuy for the F100FD. I am curious on the price difference and such. I know your not an expert per se, just looking for thoughts.

Oh ok cool Shawn, nope, I didn't notice, at all ! I haven't been on it in a while, far too busy !

Sorry about the delay in responding about cameras. That one looks nice. It seems to be a cheaper version of my camera. I don't think you'll miss the resolution and it has the most important thing, a rechargeable battery and SD card compatibility.

It will deliver pretty good pictures automatically, if you want to develop your skills then you might want to look for ones with a manual mode too, so you can play with exposure to get more creative. Canon make some really good Powershot cameras at this price range, I think they provide full manual options. The only thing with those is that you don't get rechargeable batteries supplied, but you can use NiMh ones.

I use the Fuji for snaps and the SLR for when I want to really play with the medium. If I only had one camera I'd go for something like the Canon.

what i always seem to notice about your pictures, rob, is that they all look as though they've been taken from a helicopter or from up a ladder. i'm sure if you took a picture from straight above your head, all we'd be able to see is constellations.

HAHAHA,"the girl in the pink shirt center frame bottom" LOL.

Also; I, too, am in the picture. You took a photo of me eating a stale egg sandwhich :)

[JDog]

center = centre :)

Yeah, I made a terrible choice on sandwiches, egg and baken with no moisture made for an overall dry and disappointing sandwich, needs more moisture. But I digress.

What can I say, I'm tall person. For this shot I held the camera as high as I could. Holding the camera very low or very high can give a shot a tad more impact.

[JDog]

Infact, this shot as taken just as my pal was explaining my Lex Luthor comment to my other pal. Oh what fun we young adults have. To be honest i'm still a kid.

I'm amazed I didn't see you "looming" over me with a camera :)
