To offset the recent negativity in this here blog, here is a photo post, including those from my meet-up with
seanachais, Cha Lin and Sarah yesterday.
Necessary caveats before the visual goodies: Commentary comes as and when, and there are a lot of photos - about ninety, so people with slow connections, beware.

This is Bollywood material.
Tomato: Feed me!
Paris: Did someone mention food?
The bokeh, I like. (Ooh, look at me, using fancy photography terms now.)
I thought these were mosquito eggs! So I moved the chains to un-still the water, and a lot of flying things came rushing. Into my face. I squealed and ran.
Turns out they weren't mosquito eggs, after all.
Editing this picture made me strengthen my resolve to never use auto white balance, even in program mode. It makes everything look so grey and dull. Bleh.

Cha Lin caught me in the middle of saying "zoom".
Cha Lin: BOOBS!
Cha Lin: This would taste better if it were in a cone ...
(She wanted her ice cream in a cone, but the guy serving us didn't hear her.)
THIS IS ONE OF MANY REASONS WHY I LOVE MY D90.
We have no idea why there is a spot of green in the puddle of melted ice cream on the table, when no one ordered anything green.
Cha Lin: Sarah's not even here, so why's there green?
(Sarah is a green freak.)
Hanis: LOL CLEAVAGE.
Cha Lin: No, not the cleavage!
Hanis: Damn, all I got was a hand ...
OH SHI-
LOL.
Curses, my plan to snap some cleavage has been foiled!
Hanis: *glowers*
Cha Lin: *mocks*
The point of this is to tell you that there is apparently something known as a "MILF faction". And that Hanis's phone is able to take some really good pictures. (This is why I'm considering switching to a Sony Ericsson.)
Hanis: Nokia, ugh!

Mosquito eggs or not, Mom cleared the water inside. Hallelujah!
Heh.
It says in my manual never to look at direct sunlight through the viewfinder, lest you want to feel your eyes searing from the inside. Okay, the last part wasn't exactly worded like that, but I did it anyway, and nope, no searing ... yet.
Koi: OM NOM NOM NOM.
It'd have been great if I'd gotten this camera when I was working on
TREDP CA2. *facepalms*
Koi: AHAHAHAHA. *MOCKS MOAR*
*kri*
