In Plano…

We drove up to Plano with my parents on Wednesday and when we got to David’s parents’ house, I noticed that the 1 GB memory card I have in my camera only had room for 30 pictures left. This was even after I had manually deleted the blurry, messed up shots. I don’t know about you, but I will take 30 pictures in 2 minutes these days so that just wouldn’t do with the visit to Plano lasting 4 more days! So my bro uploaded them to his iBook via his USB2.0 CF card reader. I then deleted all the pictures off the camera (which was painful to do… I always erase them using the mac, so to press the OK button on the actual camera itself was hard) and I had a clean gig to start filling again. The point of this is… I have over 100 pictures on my brother’s iBook that I can’t wait to upload to flickr! (Yes, only about 100 files… now that I’m shooting 100% RAW mode, the pics take up more memory…) I also learned how to up the saturation on the camera. That may save me a little time on each file in my post-processing if it works since I found myself boosting the saturation levels on every single picture I’ve taken. I am anxious to get the photos on the mac and see how that setting changes the pictures. They looked great on the LCD viewer on the back of the camera, but that doesn’t say much.

Today was nice. We had a visit from David’s Aunt Carol and Uncle Mark and they got to meet James. David’s brother Philip was here as well with his wife, Kimberly, and their kids: Ransom, Tait, and Kambry. Ransom is 7, Tait is an adorable 4, and Kambry is almost 1.5 – I can’t believe how big they are! I know James won’t rememeber this visit but eventually he’s gonna have so much fun with his cousins when we meet up again.
