Take Me Out To The Ball Game

Today I tagged along with the Dream Police for their weekly Sunday game. They played two games back to back. Although they lost their first game, they came back and stood up to their competition in the second game. Their jerseys give them such a unifying theme, I couldn't resist posting a few pictures.

New laptop = fun and frustration

Well after much deliberation I broke down and we got a new laptop. The old one which has my jasc paint shop pro program on it is currently in the hands of a friend being repaired. So for now, I have no cute watermark. That will change as soon as possible!

This new laptop is exciting because now I will finally have enough space and a fast enough processor to play with my photos... Tonight I experimented with the trial version of nx2 provided with my d3000. It's a bare minimum photo editing program. Took me about 2-4 hours to get the hang of a couple of tricks on it.

As you can see, here are a few pictures from the hockey game, some much more edited than others. I found taking pictures at the rink very frustrating because every picture had to be shot through the protective glass and it was...well it's very used. :) As far as experiments go, overall it was okay. Attempt #2 will hopefully go better!
