Weekend date with my D300

So our [choir]0 went on an out of town performance / outing last weekend. Was probably the only time I got to use my brand spankin’ new cam.

The Verdict

Considering I failed to notice any learning curve from the time I started using it that morning, I really have to say that the switch to the new system was one of the best decisions I’ve ever made. In fact, I could argue I really was more efficient in taking shots because of how it solved almost all my personal gripes about the previous system I had in one fell swoop. I do recall saying to myself numerous times “I fucking love this cam” when I realized I had just taken something which I knew I’d probably had more difficulty in getting when I was using my old setup.

I seriously doubt I would have experienced anything similar if I was switching the other way.

Comment section improved

As you all know, my comment form has always had a live preview feature that had limited support for [Markdown]0 syntax – which I discussed in a past entry

Recently (a while ago to be exact), I found a somewhat full implementation of [Markdown]0 via JavaScript here. Naturally I decided to integrate it into the live preview function. So I spent the whole practice session of our choir hacking away at the code to fit my needs. Here’s what came out of it:

BP Concert – Carmona, Cavite

Wow, the title was almost a complete alliteration!

Anyways, our group had a concert yesterday. Pictures of which I posted in the gallery.

I’m so out of practice with my photography; my hands aren’t as “steady” as they used to be – which was a pain in the ass since I was retarded enough to decide not to bring the flash. I had so many soft shots even with the 50-prime for crying out loud!

Enough bickering though. As far as the concert goes, we braved the challenging conditions we were faced with, and it turned out pretty well. Again, the Holy Spirit seemed to lend the group a helping hand.
