Nightshots

One of the things that has been standing in the way of my work related blogging was the fact that my crappy little HP digital camera takes terrible shots at night. With the flash on the shutter closes to quickly, making the picture to dark. With the flash off, the shutter stays open to long, making the picture too bright!

However a recent trip to T-Mobile changed all that.

I had just reached a year in my T-Mobile contract and was told that I could now upgrade my phone. Well, the one I had was junk so I thought 'what the hell'. There was an nifty little phone for $49.99 that had all the features I needed.

Not one who can be content with just something I need, I started looking at a $150 Motorola phone. It had games, Yahoo! Messenger, AOL Instant Messenger and ICQ on it, plus a camera phone that could do both still and video. To top it off, it's got a built in MP3 player!

So I bought it. Later that night I decided to try it out while I was at work. I have to admit that amazed would be an understatement on how impressed I was at the results.

Now obviously the pictures are NOT as good as they would be coming from a professional camera, or even a medium end consumer digital camera. But compared to my HP camera, well they're gravy.

Now, after all these years of blogging about my job at night, I can actually show you the sights and maybe even some of the sounds, of what goes on in the middle of the night in Vegas.

Finally, no more photoblogging of only the stuff I go on once the sun comes up! I will finally get a chance to show you my life in my element! And I couldn't be happier! I do figure though that some of the other photogs from the market will be groaning and getting a little peeved that every sixteen seconds I am snapping off picture after picture of them.

Well, if they don't, then T.S. :)

Since I have a little extra room, I'd like to remind you that there is still time for you to vote on which blogging format you like better! This one that you are reading now, or this one (WordPress). I look forward to your opinions, which you can write in the proper thread!
