The Latest Developments...

It's been very long since I have updated any of the blog posts... Today I got some time and thought that I would keep myself busy watching movies all the day. :) But it never happens the way I plan. So, here comes another blog post on My Photography.

To get started with... I found a fabulous tool... Picasaweb Album slide show... You can see it running in this blog on the left hand corner. This slide show presents the latest snaps I took with my all new "Canon 40D" the king Camera that I have owned till date. I have the old good wine like "Tamron 28-300mm Lens" with the UV Filter. I also own the National Geographic Tundra Tripod and a National Geographic Tripod bag! I am very proud to own these products because I feel as if I am a part of the very famous National Geographic's adventure team.

The snaps presented in the slide show were taken at very beautiful and very scenic "Washington Arboretum" (Arboretum means a place where an extensive variety of woody plants are cultivated for scientific, educational, and ornamental purposes). That whole day was so exciting. I got up and was dreaming of my dream camera as it was gonna come true that day. In the afternoon Me and my friend who recently got his first camera accompanied me to the place where the deal was going to happen! Yes, the deal that I got was from the seattle.craigslist.com! the first ever in my life. This is something that I really like about USA.

After getting the all new Canon 40D, i attached my oldie goldie tamron lens and had a couple of shots. After that we realized that we had all the things but the compact flash memory card! Hence we went back home and got the memory card. By the time both of us got hungry and rushed to the "Taj Palace - Indian Cuisine". After full stomach we decided to move to some good place for photography... You can understand the new enthu after getting a new thing in your hands... So we searched all over the GPS in my car and finally decided not to go far away but to the WA arboretum.

Any ways, I talked a lot about the journey than photography. I could not resist myself from sharing this experience! after all it was my another great deal... I mean cost and excitement wise. I always get nervous when I do this kinda deals. My all good friends know this. :) So, coming back to photography... You can feel free to visit the picasaweb album of Washington Arboretum here. The snaps taken were really experimental and I was not expecting them to come so crisp and clear as I was all the way taking trials of the new features of the new camera. But all the experiments were satisfactory except a few. The Camera has a "Live view" feature which was criticized by many but you can really be very innovative with it as it gives the glimpses of the composition that you are about to shoot. I liked the super fast 6.5 FPS capacity of the camera which will be required when I am going to shoot in sports mode. Many more features including the processor and memory speed are fascinating.

If I keep on listing all the features, the blog will turn out to be a Camera review blog than my experience sharing. Many of you must have opened the side windows with "Canon 40D" as search criteria in the Google window! Any ways, happy searching and surfing. I'll wind this up here only. Keep visiting my blogs on notifications. Keep sending me the feedbacks and critics. Wish you a nice time and Happy photography...
