Adventures in Photography

So, here’s the deal. On Saturday night, I went out to go take some pictures of Downtown Calgary from the top of Broadcast Hill. I arrived, took the photos, and was putting my camera away in the bag and everything, and had turned the light on in my truck. I had put my keys down on the seat, and then out everything away. I then closed the door, and started to walk around to the driver’s side door. About halfway there I realized that the driver’s side door was locked. I thought, “oh I need my keys” and walked back to the other door, only to find it locked. So, there I was on Broadcast Hill with my keys locked in my truck. Luckily, I had my phone in my pocket and was able to phone my mom. She brought me the other set, and I got in to start my truck, only to find that the battery, while not dead, was not enough to turn over the engine. Thanks to Amy’s truck dieing like a week earlier, I had booster cables in my truck, and was able to boost it and get it home.

The pictures turned out a lot better than my evening. The one I posted with this, is one of the ones that I took that night. I also discovered on Saturday that the Flash for the old Minolta X700 35mm SLR works for my D50. Now all I need is the remote (and more lenses of course).

Oh, and about the site thing, yeah, that isn’t happening. What I wanted to do was to have a picture of cool Christmas lights every week, but I decided that that was going to be to difficult, so I’m not doing it.
