Poor camera

Remember my senior year when my camera started creating black gradients at the bottom of photos when the shutter speed was too fast (over 1/60 or so, depending on the focal length)?
It’s doing it again now, noticibly so with the flash when zoomed. Ugh.

If you see me taking photos with my camera upside down this next week, that’s why. For some reason, doing so eliminates the problem. I will also likely shoot buggy this way since 1/200 at 300mm = half the frame is black.

On the bright side of this… the last time I had my camera repaired, I told myself it would not get another repair. As it seems to be on its way out again, I will be buying a D80 at some point in the near future. Yayz.

Also, in unrelated news, I did a test shoot of photos of 8 today, and it was interesting.

Boo for Great Clips!

Today in the adventures of aIan and Alan, we got really, really bad haircuts. Whee!
At least mine looks a little better after the shower and subsequent restyling.

Lesson learned. Supercuts is acceptable but pricier. Great Clips is cheap cheap cheap but terrible.

Also, Pittsburgh is awesome and yet, even with a week, I’m still worried that I won’t have time to do everything and see everyone that I want to.
