In you and I there’s a new land
Angels in flight
My sanctuary, my sanctuary, yeah
Where fears and lies melt away
Music inside
What’s left of me
What’s left of me now
— “Sanctuary” by Utada Hikaru

There was an in-joke in here once, but it’s gone now.

Anyway.

For everyone keeping score, these were taken on the landing outside our apartment using natural light through the half-circle window and shiny, shiny reflectors. Now you can all see how much of an amateur I am, ’cause I don’t know a damned thing about using reflectors properly. I got light aimed in the right direction, and that’s about it. Kudos to me. At least I only dropped the lens cap once – it only went down a couple flights.

Ah, good times. XD ♥

…Yet more practice, now with Justyn flavor.

I rarely take “box ceremony” photos for new arrivals, but I thought this time I would make an exception.

Meet the newest member of the World Ruined crew — a Canon Digital Rebel XTi. I’m really, really excited about this whole thing. XD ♥

Edit: Now with actual first photos!

They’re horribly off as far as white balance goes, and I don’t know what half of the functions do yet, but… eeee! These don’t nearly begin to cover my awe at the jump between cameras. Even just the move from four megapixels (Coolpix 4500) to ten megapixels (Rebel XTi) is like whoa. XD

Next up — figure out what the hell it is that I’m doing (and what I should change for future reference). This is gonna be fun. XD
