I stopped in at my local camera store to price out a new Digital Rebel XT. Here's what I've got so far (prices from B&H - I intend to get the local store to match or better the prices):

Photographing Sunsets

Some quick tips on photographing sunsets with a digital camera. Turn off the white balance feature. Let the sun get low to avoid damaging the CCD. Turn off auto-focus; switch to landscape mode. Turn around and look at the other images a sunset can produce. Shoot even after the sun's gone down. Use a tripod. [...]

The 14th at Tobacco Road

This 160-yard par 3 plays downhill and usually with a left-to-right wind. I took the ball at the right edge of the left bunker with a 7-iron and let the wind push it back. It hit long, but sucked back down the ridge to about 15 feet. I two-putted for an easy par.

Flint in the Snow

My dad still uses a $300 camera I gave him and my mother a few years ago, but it takes decent shots. Snow proves difficult (as it does, from what little I understand, for all cameras). I've been looking around for an online digital photography class (one worth taking, and thus, one that probably costs [...]

Aston Martin

The Bond Aston Martin Vanquish, only $255,000. Really quite inexpensive if you ask me.

Two Balls

Two golf balls, both hit with a 3W from the same tee. One was a low cut, the other a high draw. This is where they finished up, 240 yards from the tee and 165 from the middle of the green, on the 10th hole at Lake View Country Club. Yes sir, I played golf [...]

First Real Snow

So the first real snow has come: Erie is expected to get about 12" of wet snow tonight. Great for snowmen, bad for driving. My dad and I took my car in to have a flat fixed and get the oil changed. I'm relieved that I made a smart "all-weather" decision in Florida seven or [...]

Zzzzzzzz

Guess she was pretty tired, eh?

Shania FBI Warning

I wonder if by copying they mean ripping to high-quality AAC and then giving to my thousand closest friends for "personal use." Joking. Regardless, such a blatant message - complete with a logo - on the front of a Shania Twain CD is rather… something. Annoying at best: the front of Shania Twain CDs should [...]

Business Card

My mom and I were shopping for office furniture for my new house here, and we went to Office Max. We found a desk that was originally $475 marked down to $215. It was cherry with aluminum posts. It had a matching monitor stand, CPU rack, rollinlg file, two large shelves, one stationary filing shelf, [...]

Fore!

My last golf trip in Florida: José, Gabe, and Rob. I'll let them divulge their scores themselves.

My .22 and 9mm

Both are accurate. One's just a little more fun than the other. I'll let you figure out which.

Shania

The last concert of the tour, at Sunrise. That night, more of a sunset I guess.

Googly Eyes 3

Ramos, ya freaky bastid, get those beads out of your eyes!

ADA

I'd like to thank the fans… oh, and the French judge.
