Gas gauge says 1 mile until empty.  Sign says 1 mile until exit.  Shit.

At a Sharepoint seminar. Lots of big geek egos but no hijackers thus far.

Sliced apples and Publix potato salad for dinner.  Mmmm.

I thought I’d share the sweet sound of 6 fps with you.  That was 17 12-bit RAW images before the buffer choked!  It can get up to 8 fps using the MB-D10 battery grip.  I can’t wait to try this out in the field with AF focus tracking.

There isn’t a single camera shop in central FL that stocks a Nikkor AF-S DX VR 16-85mm f/3.5-5.6G ED?!?

Close crop of the image below taken with my new D300.

This body is head and shoulders above my D80.  More updates soon.

This image doesn’t demonstrate anything really.  I just thought there should be another photo in this post.

During import, it is important to embed your copyright and contact information in each file.  Just lick on the Metadata drop down box and choose new.  You will be presented with the form above.  I named mine “flashkube meta.”  If an organization or individual wants to use your photograph they will be able to easily find you to get permission.

Headed to Chick-fil-A for lunch. AGAIN! I should really be more creative in my lunch selections.

Walked into Best Buy to get boring work stuff.  Walked out with a Nikon D300.  *shizzle*

I’ll be staying with the import dialog for these next few tips.  A very important option during this stage is file naming.  You can edit the way files are named by choosing Edit from the Template drop down menu.  What appears is shown above.  I chose YYMMDD-Custom Text-00X as my naming convention.  I then saved it with the name “my naming convention.”  Choose something that works for you.  I highly recommend you use custom text somewhere in your file naming.  If you end up with multiple image files in the same folder, you will be glad that a short description of the image will be part of the filename.
