I was back in Paris last week-end so I went to the Mondial de l’Automobile (sorry, I hate mixing languages together). I took some pictures that I just added to my gallery. Quite a few of them are blurred but I haven’t had the chance to remove them (yet).

If you’re a Tex Avery fan, you’ll notice the one that looks like the baby car in One Cab’s Family

I just finished installing wpg2 which is a WordPress plugin to embed Gallery2. Seems to be working just fine. I just had some difficulties to find the right theme (Siriux) that would work with K2.

Now I need to upload more pictures because the gallery is a bit empty at the moment.

Last year I bought myself a Canon 300D Digital Rebel (US) / Canon EOS 300D (EU) and I’ve been learning slowly technical terms (exposure, shutter speed, ...) and how to use it.

Some weeks ago, I finally decided to buy a new lens to play with. I spend quite some time reading articles and reviews, and ordered a Canon 70-200 f/4L USM on B&H. Shipping has been quick, it only took two days to come from NY. I missed the UPS guy yesterday because I was at work. Today I worked from home so I’ve been able to catch him.

I haven’t used it much yet (just checked it worked) so, I’ll say the same things that I read on multiple boards : it’s big (approx 20cm long), quite heavy (approx 750g) and … it’s white (I don’t really care, though it’s not really the same color as the camera).

Stay tuned for first pictures
