but ah, i don't want to upset anyone with my whining.
right now, i think i'm going to buy a present for a certain someone i think i love. yes, there are places you can buy things even on sunday.
no, even though the person in question is probably going to read this, i am not giving a name.
hope this holiday has a little more meaning to you all than it does to me.

lonely me, signing off now. see ya!

i guess... i'll remember that day, even if i'm not sure i'm welcome to do so.
still... i wish this new life the best.
may her sun shine bright... and so on.
of course...
i'm still not happy about the way my hopes had to be buried. but perhas... this date may mark the start for a new life for all of us?
i'm not sure, but i think that a baby born may be seen as a symbol for the possibility of life to change in wonderful ways. i'm moved by this, even if i'm not sure if i should be....
best regards,
to a bright future

thanks for nothing, life.
now to picking up some pieces worth remembering and cleaning out my desk.
it seems i have no future in this business.

so long, and thanks for all the fish.

I Like liked her.
But I thought she thought I was a douchebag.
So I tried to save myself from the embarrassment of telling her what I felt.
I still don't know what she would have said if I had had the courage to tell her what I felt.

Summer is arriving outside, still battling spring occasionally. It's that time of the year when the boys get bold and every girl in town looks pretty.

Life is bad.

Being indecisive sucks. Exams are nearly through and I just don't know what to do with my life.

Life is just as usual.

Little losses and little gains, petty thoughts and petty deeds. And somewhere inbetween, we are sitting and thinking we are the center of the universe.

Life is funny, isn't it?

But the world's still spinning, and I'll see what's coming up this year. A lot of photography I hope *hehe*

Perhaps the BG E3...

By the way, why do I get a deviation like Amor's Notch moved to scraps from "Pinup"? Sometimes I wonder if DA's admins don't have better things to do... I thought it fitting enough in there, I would put this one up my wall *hehe*

Anyways, I'm signing off right now, have a lot o work to do that I should have done about half a year ago, so I'll see you!

Have a happy 2008!

Best regards
Nils

It definitely kicks some ass, but I'm bound to despair someday with what to buy.
To zoom, or not to zoom,
to focus close, or not to.
That is a damn TOUGH question.

Anyway, since I am just sitting around at school with abolutely NOTHING to do other than wishing my girflfriend good luck for her exam, why don't I ask you guys?

So far I am equipped with the standard kit lens (18-55) and an EF 35-135 USM 4-5.6. It's pretty old, and it has a LOUSY minimum focus distance, but it's Canon, and the AF is damn fast.
But I'd require a bit more zoom, just as I qould love to get into Macro business.
The thing is just, as usual. Money. Does. Not. Grow. On. Trees. Period.

Right, so now about my question. I spotted a Tamron 55-200 LD DiII wiht a Maximum ratio of 1:3.5. What I don't like about it is that is has a plastic mount, and the AF is rather slow.
Plus, it doesn't add THAT much of zoom to what I've already got, though it was definitely fun when I tried it out.
There also is a 70-300 from Tamron with a Maximum Ratio of 1:2. Metal mount for all I know. AF just the same.

The thing is. Would you recommend exchanging the Canon, or buyingt one of the Tamrons, or save up to something more high quality?


Oh and by the way, congrats if you made it this far. I appreciate the time you took
Now it'd be SO kind if you could help me...


Check out (after checking me ):


Best regards
Nils

I've been a little lazy, but by no means idle in the past week which is partly due to the fact that I used my holidays to refurnish my room, a process which funnily enough didn't proceed all on its own, meanin gI am way behind schedule.

Anyway, just Saturday I took as much as 197 Photos just on my way form the bus stop to my home which is in total maybe 250 metres of distance. xD

Most of them are crap naturally but it did some good to me seeing as I got to learn what a white balance preset can do to a picture (and what the automatic mode can't). I may be posting a direct comparison between auto and manual one day in the Scraps section so check it out to stay up 2 date^^

Of the 197 pics I hope at least a few will make it ontp DA and I'd be happy if you checked them out

Cya later folks
best regards
Nils

And also check out these guys, after you checked my Gallery
