I blame all that BC influence on Seattle's rampant liberalism that's destroying the very core values of our nation.

Happy Everydays!

PD Cool Tiger Aleks!!!!

Well I went to the park tonight to see how well my tri-pod worked and it was amazing. The picture came out clean and clear and under control. The only thing that bugs me is the camera itself. Although it's a nice camera when it comes to bright colors, it doesn't really seem to work much for night shots. For example, this picture was taken between 4.25 and 4.5 miles from the neighboring city of Bellevue. The image is clear and whatnot but the colors suck! I can never get them right. See...

Night pictures come out too orange... I tried fixing the colors on Photoshop and this was the best I could get. Before it was either too yellow, too orange, too green, etc... I also noticed that my pictures come out too 'dusty' when it's set to Large but when it's set to small they come out looking fine... What's up with that? I usually keep my camera's image quality set to FINE but I think I'm going to start using RAW if I want better images. They come out clearer, the colors are better and when you sharpen the image it doesn't become all 'dusty' looking.

I took this picture of a bright building and it looked just fine... No graininess, no unusual colors, no notin' I didn't even fix the colors on Photoshop or anything! And it also took less to upload...

Of course one was taken during the day and one at night but it still bugs me that it can get such good colors during gloomy days even without a tri-pod and bad colors at night with a tri-pod...

Lol what a coincidence, I came to post this pic we took on NYE 2008 of Sydney CBD

Happy new year !

Nice picture. I wish I could visit Sydney one day. I'd love to go and just take and take pictures of Sydney, Brisbane, Auckland [and jump off the SkyTower, besides, I heard New Zealand has some great mountains to climb], and everywhere I can get my camera in. Too bad my family is the type of "let's go to Disneyland" family. Well, half of it.

I like to go to museums, themeparks, zoo's, aquariums, anywhere that seems interesting. Not just the touristy places.

Austin55 · #**668** Posted **Jan 2, 2009, 8:41 PM**

I wanna see piolo get drop-kicked by a kangaroo.

Yer my pet Kangaroo does it all the time, well that's when my pet Koala isn't gorging my eyes out.

ADD weather alert! the other day it was 80, people jogging with there shirts of, some where eving swimming. the next day it was 30, rained all night and froze in the morning, and people put on ice shates and were skating in the streets.

what the hell

Aleks · #**674** Posted **Jan 11, 2009, 8:53 AM**

Just watched The Unborn. I reccomend it but if there's something better like Bolt, watch it.

Aleks · #**675** Posted **Jan 24, 2009, 8:01 AM**

I just stitched the biggest pano I've ever made! It's the Seattle skyline and the entire thing is 15,718x2,237 pixels, it's 30.3 MB, and all pictures were taken by me!

I'm so proud of my self! Also, I just bought a photography book which helped me A LOT even though I've had it for 2 or 3 days. I've also been experimenting with Photoshop Elements, which isn't like CS3 but it's everything I need. Hopefully I'll also get into the photography club, sell some pictures, make some money, all that jazz.

BTW, I watched Charlie and the Chocolate Factory and The Incredible today. Carlie and the Chocolate Factory is okay and the Incredible's is... well... incredible!
