I’ve been using a camera for about two years. I dont treat it good. Coz it kinda goes everywhere with me. All sorts of messy parties, events, travels n gigs. It’s taken a whole lotta shit, like a pro.
For 600 bucks, i dont expect miracles, but it’s compact n fits very comfortably in my rear pocket. Also if i lose it, no big deal.
Anyway, it started to screw up after abt a year. The LCD screen started to zap, and got smaller every month. After a while, i had a one-inch screen. Still could use it.
Eventually, i landed on my ass with d camera in it, and d screen wiped out for good.
I still used it. There was no screen, no viewfinder. I shot blind, for almost the entire 2011. Haha. So all d pix from 2011 were fired at random. Like the Bentong Falls trip, and the cachaça cocktail session on the roof @ View Bar.
But they turned out well. What can i say, i got skills. I think some of my friends picked up a new skill too.
So there’s no preview/playback, which is great esp when some busybody wanna see how they look in d picture. They cant. Awesome. Problem is the only time u can check what u shot, is when ur home at the PC.
And there’s no adjusting settings, like flash, exposure, macro, etc.
Its a real bitch when u ask someone to take a picture for u. Can be tough for them.
It’s pretty easy once u get d hang of it. Now, i got a new camera, and the screen is like a damn bonus. (But new guy took a hit recently – battery / SD card cover blew off.)
Thing is, when the ol camera got messed up, i continued using it, assuming i’d lose it anyday, like i’d had done to previous cameras – so i could have an excuse to buy a new one. I did manage to ‘lose’ it a few times but the fucker always came back.
I named it Boomerang.
Anyway, Boomer has served me well. It’s still usable i guess, tho it hasnt seen action in a while.
Take a break amigo.
old school style, like shooting with film
Haha. Sort of. ‘cept with film u got a viewfinder
Haha! Legend – Great to see Homie also!
You need to get one of those weather proof rubber-encased heavy duty cameras! LOL
No space in my pocket
RIP Boomy. A true legend. LOL
Boomy not dead. Just resting in stand-by. Like my previous phone, but that’s another story altogether! Another legend
O God! totally forgot that i DID buy a replacement for Boomer last year, but it didnt make it! Took it to Laos on my second trip there. It took a sip in the river, and screen n zoom got fucked. Damn. Beware, the curse of Boomer. So this new guy is the second replacement. Cibai betol
Your dog seems very knowing. That look in the eye gives it all away.
