It was air conditioning weather today. Clear blue sky. No wind. Toasty. If people only worked on cloudy days, nothing would get done in this town. Still, it would have been nice to have been outside....
But the real news is the brand spanking new digital camera, interchangeable lens and all. I've been surviving on little hand held units which take amazingly good pictures. However, I truly missed the old telephoto, zoom and macro. There is only so much you can do with a little handheld with a small lens. The small aperture typically makes for blurry pictures in low light and there just is no concept of zoom in most of those handhelds. However, I did not miss developing film and certainly did not miss discovering that there was only one good picture in the roll. The new digital SLRs solve combine the best of both worlds, giving good solid pictures, good lens and instant digital feedback on your pictures. Now, if I could only figure out how to not look like a total geek running around with a huge camera. Ah, but that is a challenge for another day.
