Mr.kenchan, on the 35mm purchase, f/1.8 or f/1.4??

Mr.kenchan, for the DSLR, I would suggest you use something at least 17mm or wider, 20mm doesn't give you too much a wide angle view.

Looking good, the black is cool!!

gmorning, mr.alcheng! sounds good that the exhaust fits your roaster.

the 35mm prime...humm, not sure which f/ it is. i just bought the one that 600+ reviews were all giving 5 stars. it's not like i know how to work the camera anyways so i will need to play with it.

thanks on the tip for the wide lens. the reason for the 20 or even 18 is because i like the round shape i can get on my cars using the distortion of the lens. it gives more artistic feel (well to me). 35mm is borderline.. i think it's like it can give partial roundness/distortion but more for every day bakachon camera.

So I said to one of my workmates "did you see that 370Z that passed the parking lot"? Guess what he said??? "What's a 370Z"??

Mr. Kenchan's version of stimulating the economy -- one UPS delivery at a time. You, sir, are a great American and I salute you.

I do the same as you. My Pelican 1510 case arrived last night. I will take pics tonight with it loaded up. I got Body, grip, filters, hoods, Speedlite and 4 lenses including my 70-200 in it.

sounds mr.onzedge!

next up for me would be a wide lens but it will take a while. i should be happy i even charged up my batteries for my DSLR yesterday and took some snaps.

then was reminded how fuzzy my images are... thus a 35mm prime. hope it fixes my issues, all of them.

I think I'm going to have to pick your brain about security camera set-ups.

im just using a simple panasonic wireless indoor network camera. if it wasn't for HOA, i would still have the full blown security camera with night vision, but i was asked to remove them from the exterior of the house as neighbors (not my next door neighbors cause i talked to them) were complaining that it looked ugly. i mean the thing is only 5" long and 3" in diameter it's barely even visible from the street.

so wat i started doing is installed flourescent twisty bulbs with photocell premounted in my porch and driveway exterior lamps and use that as my lighting. it actually works pretty well with the network camera. the image is on the grainy side but i can still see who it is and wat's happening in the middle of the night if needed from my droid. the camera is mounted inside the window.

during the day the image is no problem.

i have it setup so it sends me email with attachment of the pict when motion is detected. i can see in real time too from my droid using a IP camera app i bought.

there's better ones out there with night vision if you check amazon. just search network camera.

That is some real Mission Impossible, Spy-Kids, Ocean's 11, James Bond, Bruce Willis stuff you got there. It makes my "Dog bark = Grab Remington 870 that hangs over the Front Door" security system seem downright low-tech and old school. Oh well, it help support my "Hero Captain of Battleship" image.

I thought about getting a camera setup from Costco. I probably should talk to my Security company to see what they offer. Wireless would be best.
