Last Film Pictures for a Long time

I got the NIkon D40! It was... awesome having that box in my hands walking out of the store... but It's going to be worth it. I've got a 2GB memory card, a UV Filter, and an extra battery to go with it! So I won't be having to pay to develop a roll of film for a long time! Besides, I can't really afford the film or developing it right now anyway. So, without further ado, here are the highlights of the last pictures I'm going to take on film for a really, really long time:

Trail Into the Distance...

Overhanging Tree

Dead Tree in a Clearing

Digital SLR Camera

Well, I'm going to be getting a new SLR camera for my photography class next year. It's going to be a digital one, given that film is nice, but developing it and buying film all the time is a pain, and on top of the already unreasonable gas prices, it eats away at my budget. So, after looking around at digital cameras, and checking out the list of cameras that my photography teacher recommends, I liked the Canon Rebel XTi, but honestly the Nikon D40 is a lot better priced, and even the editors on this website called digitalcamera-hq.com calls the Nikon D40 the "Best Affordable SLR". Honestly, that's just awesome. I only have about $300 right now that I've saved for a while, and I wanted to use that for other stuff, but now I see a very practical use for that money! Honestly, I'm going to Alaska in a couple weeks, and I don't want to have to buy 50 rolls of film and then have to pay to get them all developed! I want to take a bunch of pictures, and I think that having a digital camera will help out with that. Plus, uploading pictures will be far more easier! The library where I scan in my pictures blocks deviantART on their computers, so I have to e-mail the pictures home to upload them, but e-mailing pictures decreases the quality, so the quality will be a lot better!

Well, gotta run.

Peace out!

P.S the Renaissance Faire was closed when I went to it a week ago, since it was only when we saw it was closed that we figured out that it was only open on weekends. Oh well, no pictures coming out of there...

New Pictures
