Recently, I bought an SLR camera. I’m not sure why I did, but I am sure glad that I made that impulse purchase. The pictures taken on an SLR and so much better than a point and shoot camera. I soon realized that I didn’t know how to use this beautiful piece of equipment that I randomly purchased.

Luckily, I have a few friends who are very talented photographers and were willing to show me the ropes. We started slowly at first; what do all of the settings do, when to change the settings, what aperature means, what exposure means…..etc. But shortly after that, I was thrown into the fire (so to speak). I went on a night time shot of downtown Denver where I really learned the different settings and how different lenses made a building look so different. I was quite impressed with photogrpahy and enthused to learn more.

A friend/co-worker recently introduced me to HDR (High Dynamic Range) photography. I am amazed at this technique; it is quite remarkable. Basically, you take several images (3-7) of one subject with different exposures and mash them into one image. The result is a photo that looks like a drawing. To me, its a form of art and beauty is in the eye of the beholder. But I think its fantastic!

I have just begun to dabble in this form of art and have taken a few test shots. The subjects are a few items in my house…..the fireplace looks great!

I should say that bad fitness information is everywhere. There are thousands of blogs, sites, forums etc of people pitching fitness products. These products include equipment, routines, supplments, apparel and anything else that can be classified as fitness related. When I firsted began to research fitness programs, I found it very difficult and time consuming to weed through all of the gimmicks and get real information. There are some legit sites out there, but it takes time and patience to find them. After a few months of researching, I would like to present to you the best site I have found to learn about fitness products.

First Page Fitness has a plethora of information, and it laid out to be easy to understand. One of the things I like about this site, is that it is a one-stop shop for fitness products. There are product reviews, articles about various fitness topics, a fitness directory (links to fitness sites) and even a fitness shop. You can purchase product directly from the site or they give you a link with a discount attached!

If you want up-to-date information, Firts Page Fitness is the place to go for Fitness Products.

I’ve been listening to a lot of Jay Smooth lately. I like the way he thinks

No matter who your choice for president is, these videos are hilarious:

THE BEST ONE OF ALL…..

When iPods first came out, I really wasn’t crazy about them. I have never really been a fan of hyped, over-marketed goods. However, I am singing a different tune now that I understand iTunes and what can be done.

I bought an AppleTV and instantly understood the power of iTunes. I now use iTunes for most media buys as well as playback (altough I also like Amazon mp3 download service).

Click the image or here to check out the iTunes Store (iTunes will open) to see all of the media that is available for download.
