Fire got me into trouble

The infamous backyard fire.

The trees are on fire!

Well I was sitting in my grandmas back yard playing with matches and before you know it the little brush that I was playing with turned into a big fire. By the time the fire department got there the whole back yard was up in flames and I was scared to death.

So if any kids are reading this remember playing with fire is bad.

Missing shots

I missed some great shots this past weekend but they were uncontrollable circumstances.

Holiday weekend

I hope everyone had a great Memorial day weekend.

SLR vs. Point and shoot

 Well I've finally got my first SLR camera and I have a great point and shoot as well. Lets start with the point and shoot.

 The point and shoot I have is the Fujifilm s1000fd which has some great features. It has manual controls but not really full manual controls like an SLR. The picture quality with this camera is excellent. It has a 12 times zoom and the macro feature is pretty good for not being a true macro. 

 Problems with this camera are very long shutter lag, no image stabilization,can't shoot in raw and not many accessories for the camera,like filters which would be a big plus for the camera.

 Now moving onto the SLR. I bought the Sony A200, the camera so far is great the features are better then the Canon XS which I did a comparison between the two. There is virtually no shutter lag on this camera at all. It has a 9 point auto focus,it has face detection eye focus. The camera takes excellent photos in raw and has great manual features as all SLR cameras should. 

 The only downsides that I have found with the SLR is that it is much larger than my point and shoot which I don't mind that. And dust dust dust is a problem. I have had it for about 2 weeks and I have already had some dust on the sensor which was easily blown off but still a pain. 

 I highly recommend buying an SLR over a point and shoot.

This is by no means a complete list of pros and cons for both cameras.

Sorry

I apologize for no new posts lately.I've been very busy . I got my new DSLR a few days ago and I'm playing around. Hopefully this weekend I will have some new photos to post.Just bare with me.And thank you for visiting my blog.

SLR

 Well the SLR is on it's way. I can't wait for this thing to get here. I didn't go with the big boy but instead I got the cheaper model.

 I was going to buy the Canon XS but after doing countless hours of research I chose to get the Sony A200. The features are better and I like the way the camera looks and Sony is having a credit deal right now. The only thing it lacks is the live view but who cares about that.The image stabilization is built into the camera which I hope I like that. 

All and all I can't wait to get this.

COCO Keys wasn't as fun as you'd think

Unbelievable, my wife and 3 year old and I go to COCO Keys water park this past weekend. We get there,now mind you this is an indoor water park,it's raining outside like cats and dogs and a little lightning,well they tell us it will be a hour or an hour and a half before we can get in the water because of lightning. What the heck I thought the purpose of going to an indoor water park was to have fun in crappy weather.

So finally, we got to get in the water and I wanted to send my son down one of the four water slides they had. Come to find out they are only aloud to open one slide at a time because of safety reasons. Now I am so damn furious at this point but we continue to play in the water and go in the lazy river. Well, 20 minutes later everyone has to get out of the pools again because of lightning. RRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR So we left.

We paid 25 dollars a person to get in this place and what a terrible time. My wife is supposed to call and try to get our money back. We'll see!!!!!
