Kodak DX6490, How I love thee...

I am becoming obsessed with my digital camera this past month. I bought the camera last year, around this time, actually, as a graduation gift for myself. I figured after six years of going to school at University, working full-time the past three years, and a total of 18 years in school, including elementary through to high school graduation, I deserved something.

After a bit of browsing online, and scanning through eBay, I found my new best friend. It certainly wasn't cheap, but it offered everything I wanted without me purchasing a real professional camera. I couldn't afford the latest and best thing, so I settled for a little below that.

All of the pictures on this site were taken with the camera, except for the giant starfish sent to me by my brother.

Today, I wanted to see how well the zoom could go, so I was playing with taking shots farther away than I would've liked and trying to pick up objects. It worked quite well. I was getting some nice pics of guys playing cricket (yes, cricket) on campus, and could pick up some couples walking along the sidewalk. I don't want to publish those though - that's a bit creepy.

So instead, I'm going to include a few pics I took today. Now, this demonstration is quite simple. One pic is a close-up, the other isn't. If you look closely at the broad shot, you'll see the small buildings I focused on for the close-up. Let me know what you think of the quality of them.
