And gone now...

She left now. I shed some tears. I am such a silly boy. But that's okay. Particularly when there's the shoulder of someone I trust to lean my head on.

Saturday, I felt better. I'll see her soon enough, I'm sure. Had some nice breakfast with one of my favourite people. I then bought myself a new toy, a DVD player. Now, I can actually watch some of my stuff! Okay, there had be a period of low money, and it seems okayish, but now I should hold back a bit. Am I going to Québec City next weekend? And mountain biking the one after? Oops. Ahem...

Sunday, went off on a day-long road trip with gorbash_dragon and don_teo. I had been wanting to drive on fun roads recently, and I sure got it! There was speeding, there was twisty roads, there was heart-wrenching hill-tops, it was all there! I have to fill the tank again and split the cost, but I can't possibly split this equally, since the way I drove was anything but fuel-efficient... I did miss my "Tender Prey" album, from Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds.

I spent a roll of slide film, for some unfathomable sentimental reason (or is it just to go through my stash of film?), and now I regret not having used my digital camera. There's some awesome shots on that roll of slides, I'm sure, and now I have to wait, and I'll get crappy files out of it. *pout*


Hairy rocks.


Lake Champlain.

Well, that wasn't film. ;-)

In fact, it's possible that they'll come out even nicer on yours, as digital cameras (even the SLRs) don't have the best of dynamic range, and negative film has excellent dynamic range...

Hey, I could give you my leftover reserve of film! It's mostly slide film (which requires accurate metering), but it'll help you learn, as it shows mistakes very clearly. It's a bit old, it might have shifted, so for playing around and learning technique, it'd be good. And if it works, it's better than Kodak Gold 200, for sure (I have a roll of Fuji NPZ here, which is a bit less than ISO 800 and probably has better grain and color than Gold 200! So you can imagine how sharp and beautiful the Reala, which is ISO 100, is!).

Ce sont des algues sur les roches?

C'est zarbie...

Ouais, je crois. Mais l'eau de ce lac là est plutôt douteuse...

Hehe, thanks! But it wasn't on the first shot either... ;-)

Whereabouts on Lake Champlain did you go?

[pphaneuf.livejournal.com]

That was in, um... St-Armand? We also went to Venise-en-Québec (that's where the hairy rock photo is from), Frelighsburg, etc...

Ok, gotcha, over on Baie Missisquoi. I guess that's technically still Lake Champlain, yeah. I always think of Lake Champlain being entirely in Vermont for some reason, but I guess I'm just silly.
