Canon Digital Rebel XTi At Work

March 28th, 2008

Canon Rebel XTi

Decided to start shooting some photos with my DSLR.  I got this camera with the main intention of being able to shoot my projects and models.  The kits lens isn’t the best thing in the world and I am looking into getting a macro lens which should be far better for shooting scale models in the future.  The depth of field on the current lens is just a little too shallow.  I also got a tripod which will help greatly in doing long exposures to avoid having harsh shadows on my models. Anyways, I think the camera will really improve the visuals of the site, because I know for damn sure the this new camera is a hell of a lot better than the iPhone’s pathetic camera.

Thoughts of Hardware and Redesigns

March 10th, 2008

I’m sorry I haven’t posted in awhile. I just wasn’t keeping up with the site. I don’t really have any excuses other than I didn’t know if people were reading.

After checking my website stats it seems that some people are indeed reading. But it is what they are reading about that surprises me. Video games and movies aren’t even on the radar. It is Gundam and DIY projects that people seem to be interested in. I guess you can get all your Video Games news from 1up or Kotaku, but there is a niche market for Gunpla and video game hardware mods. My most viewed and searched articles so far have been the Rock Band Foot Pedal Mod and the Gundam Unicorn topics. So I am going to try to give you guys, if you are still reading, what you want and post more projects and less reviews. Bring on the soldering iron and X-acto knives.
