"I'm gonna find a way...

...to make it without you."

December 13th Sunday
I find the actual post of the first time I tried on my NS (link). Compared to that first wear, they hella stretched out and are baggy. For the first 2 weeks, I'd sometimes go to bed with them on at night or do some stretch moves like squating/lunging in order to stretch them out for some breathing room. Unfortunately, they HELLA stretched out. I don't mind, I still get slimmer fit than 501s, which are really baggy now.

Found this cool mono/tri-pod thing. About $80 on Amazon, would be worth it but seems a lil' expensive...

"I can't stop thinking 'bout you...

...'cause I was at my best when you was with me."

September 19th Saturday

Venting, ranting, complaining can only go so far. In the end, it's pointless. Fuck family problems, school woes, & life in general. Can this Vegas trip come any faster?

Great song that leaked out a few days ago. Damn, I need to listen to the radio more. I feel like I'm missing out on some good songs...

February 3rd - Tuesday

For some reason, January was like the longest month ever...





No diffuser (left), diffuser directly aimed (center), & diffuser aimed 45 degrees



Color seems better with the filter...



Much better color with the filter






February 4th - Wednesday

Gotta catch up with my reading assignments...




Great alternative lens hood, IMO


It fits very tightly, making it frustrating to come off, but not annoying


Test shots of f22 @ 10mm (left), f29? @ 22mm (center), & f22 @10mm (right) to emphasize the vignetting on the top, left, & right sides...
Conclusion:
Haven't had any problems except for the vignetting, but a lil' filing at the tip of the petals could fix that. So for those who don't like the huge EW-83E, I recommend the ED-83DII...



A bit out of focus, but good enough(10mm w/ diffuser)


I think I might need the 430exII for more power (50mm w/ diffuser)


Good night =)



February 5th - Thursday

Got approached by the Asian Pacific Islander Fraternity (AlphaPsiRho) like 3 times today, twice yesterday & I'm not sure about it. Anyways, seriously considered resigning from my job, but the economy is messed up right now. I wonder what else I need to prepare for...

• 430exII or 530exII?
• Extra memory card
• Hella batteries
• A new fit?
  

Beautiful day before it started to rain!



Shitty HDRs, idk how to make'em better...
