Nice weather + new camera = …

… much more photos than I am able to present here (and of course several from just testing, which wouldn’t be worth it). :)

And nature isn’t all that green and in blossom around here yet; forsythia blossoms, for instance, are still closed. Well then, here’s a little selection – click to get to the flickr pages with larger versions:

On my Flickr page (archive 9 March) I got a few more.

No too spectacular an image, but simply my Epipremnum – but it’s the very first photo with my new Canon EOS 40D (in full-automatic mode, with flash), ordered on Monday and arrived today (quite fast for an advance-payment order):

So let’s see how many hundred pictures the weekend will bring… :mrgreen:

I got weak after all…

… and chose the more expensive but of course clearly better alternative …

… and ordered the Canon 40D as my new, “proper” camera. For starters, only with the kit lens EF-S 17-85mm 4.0-5.6 IS USM, and we’ll see what may follow in the future, maybe even a declaration of love like Crosa’s (German, about the EF-S 60 2.8 Macro lens). ;)

And even though the decision was made to at least 90% beforehand, it suits me just fine that Canon has started another cash back promotion for EOS products (from 1 March to 30 June 2008), which will reduce the price in this case by 200€ afterwards. :)

Now I don’t intend to turn this blog into a photo blog, but there’ll probably be a few more photos in posts – once I got that camera, of course. Furthermore, I’ll put some photos into my galleries without much ado, or maybe I’ll add them to flickr or a similiar site, we’ll see.

Links of the Week (2008/05)

Short and sweet:

Five identical twins

digitalkamera.de currently writes (in German – this is my translation):

Birth of Sony T300, S750, W110, W120, W130, W150 and W170
In the middle of the night, they have been born, the Sony septuplets – and they’re doing fine. Among them are five identical twins: […]”

They mean the W models which differ only little:
W110: 4x zoom, 7,2 megapixels,
W120: 4x zoom, 7,2 MP,
W130: 4x zoom, 8,1 MP,
W150: 5x zoom starting at 30 mm, 8,1 MP,
W170: 5x zoom starting at 28 mm, 10,1 MP.

But, erm, then they are no longer twins :) – or do you nowadays count like that: 2=twins, 3=three twins, 4=four twins, …? :mrgreen:
