How to Take Notes the Nerd Way

Before everyone carried a digital camera with them, my brother gave me one back in 2000 when he was raking in the last of the money from the Dot Com Era. This was not a camera that fits into your pocket, but it had a whopping 4.0 megapixel sensor. It was the hotness back then, the Kodak DC4800.

Even though it wasn’t exactly portable I took it everywhere with me and even found some creative uses for this in class.

Adding a Little Class to My Life

I have embarked on journey with Michelle to add a little bit of class to our lives, specifically photography class. We had our first class yesterday night, and it seems pretty good. There isn’t any hands on camera use during the class. The teacher wants us to do that during the week to put what we learned into practice.

There was a lot of terminology thrown at us, but I think I have a grasp on most of what was said. Telephoto lenses are better for portraits, but if you want to take a picture of your junk, use a wide angle. It’ll look more impressive. They didn’t actually teach that in the class, but it should work based on the principles of lenses we learned. I’d try it, but I’m afraid I would forget to erase the memory card before giving it back to Kyung.

Hopefully I’ll be able to post some of the pictures I take as I learn to take better photos. Here’s one I took last night.
