hello new camera

Wednesday, May 27th, 2009

This is my new camera. I’ve owned it for 3 hours. It’s approximately the same size as my Sony dsc-h2 and weighs a pound or three more. This guy shoots in RAW format. RAW allows fine manipulation of the image, including but not limited to: fill light, hue, exposure, vibrance, and other things not really thought about. It’s able to shoot in both RAW and .JPG at once, creating two files for easy viewing. Be still, my heart; I still need a charger, zooming lens, and lens filter.

Stats for the dorks:
Canon EOS 400D aka the ~Rebel~ xti
2.5″ viewing screen
built-in flippy flash
CF storage
Canon Lens EF 50mm (what i have for now)
10 megapixel capability
auto sensor cleaner woohoo!

Yay for craigslist.

30sec in for pertinent part, watch all for teh lulz:

Next on the things-i-shouldn’t-buy docket: inspired by Cam’s need for a mixer for recording, now i’m looking for one after trying to record Branwyn. Result: when hooked from the amp, there is a crazy electricity interference buzz with both the XLR and 1/4″ outputs. When Branwyn is plugged directly in, no sound gets captured. Stupid passive pickups. I’ve recorded Betsy before with a giant Phonic mixer, but i want the bumbum Branwyn packs that Betts lacks. Also, I would like to have something more compact than 16-channels.

Another way to go about it would be using an instrument microphone like an SM57. I’m wary about micing (”miking?” that looks like “viking” only lamer) when it comes to bass. If you have any ideas, shoot them my way. Or Cam’s. I guess. I GUESS. Guitar for him, bass for me, awesome for all. Barry, stop living far away goddammit.

the hatchet's profile

ROACH (Ruthless Organization Against Citizen Heroes) is a reaction to the heroes who have been popping up in the last few years. Men and women have been taking super hero aliases to be goodniks in a world of sad. Naturally, the eventual plan is for world domination. The leader of ROACH, the Potente, keeps a blog as a way of relaying news to members.

You, too, can join this taskforce against crazies in tights!

Finally! Something to tell you when you can run to the bathroom in the theater! For those of us with the need to pee during two hour long movies, this website will tell you which point in the movie is the least important and easiest to pick up on when returning from the potty.
