After a fairly long period of nothingness, I find myself back again with renewed umpf as a shadow mysteriously lifted away from a long period of darkness (perhaps I’ve started loosing eyebrow hair!)
A quick trip to Skeikampen rejuvenated my interest in photography and moving around. It’s lovely up there, and I cannot but praise Bergfrid’s workplace for allowing me and Quita to tag along up there for the whole week-end. Wonderbar! The image above was a hipshot using my D300 together with the inconspicuous 50mm f/1.8. Easy to fire when everything is a reflector.

We bought a small printer to print out some photos with (10x15cm images) – For it’s price, the photos look amazing. Maybe now, Bergfrid will finalize that scrapbook that she’s been going on about for the past two years..
A Denon blu-ray player had to find it’s way as my DVD player stopped working. It’s doing ok, but I find that we’re getting ripped off more and more, taking 2 minutes to load a disc, how is that progress?
Wanted to get me the new Nikon D700, but the price went up with more than what a smaller Nikon DSLR costs. Nikon has decided to up their prices at a time where a financial crisis has scared everyone away from doing purchases. I should send them a postcard with a hint… People do not take well to prices going up when the finances are as they are..
So I figured, let me get a better satellite tuner! The one I have is sub-standard – downright pathetic. A few calls later, I desisted. The remaining shops that sell these kinds of tuners have no concept of service-mindedness.
Instead, I ended up buying a satellite signal finder hoping for a better performance from my HD Satellite PVR, now, all I need is fine weather to climb up on the roof and connect it…
See you soon!
