Wednesdays with Tricia

I know, I know. I promised an edition yesterday. Here’s where the plan fell apart — the footage I want to use was captured with our camcorder, rather than my trusty camera. This leads me to a rant.
What asshat decided that saving camcorder files in a format that was unusable on a computer (without the [...]

My new camera.

I love my new camera. I could wax poetic on all its lovely features…if I knew how to work them. Sadly, I do not. What I *do know is that I was able to take some fairly lovely photos with it right out of the box.
Yes, you read that right — right out of the [...]

Camera Over. LCD dead = Very Yes.

:weeps: Oh, my beloved camera. Why? WHY? Didn’t I lovingly put you in a spiffy little camera bag when I wasn’t using you? Didn’t I make sure the little heathens who live here kept their grimy paws off you? Didn’t I sing your praises to all and sundry? DIDN’T I?!? So, how could you just [...]

More about cameras.

There are 81 shopping days until my birthday, folks. :D

Curse you, Nikon…

…for making this camera.
PSA — my birthday is July 27th. That camera would be highly appreciated as a gift. :cackle:
