You tease!

I really hope you got a DSLR *clickclickclickclick*

Heh. After we talked about cameras, I read that review you sent me on the D40. I sent the specs off to my husband so he could contrast and compare, and he was really impressed with the camera's capabilities in direct relation to the price tag....so I did it. I'm the proud owner of the Nikon D40...(the exact camera Jazz has).

I'm funny that way...with technical stuff, I get totally ADD when doing my homework. I'd so much rather take a recommendation from someone else.

So, it'll be here on Tuesday!

So, my next question for you is...do you have any lenses other than the kit lens it comes with?

Hey Michele - if you want, I can make the white background of your Belle avatar transparent for you...just a thought....that way you wouldn't have a box around her.

Wow Kathy, that would be great the box drives me nuts.

Sure thing. Firing up PS as we speak.

I assume you are talking about Photo Shop, I have it and the only thing I know to do with it is to clean pictures up,

Yes, sorry...PhotoShop.

Here's what I'm going to do...

I'm going to make a duplicate layer of the image, turn OFF the background layer, then select the white background around Belle and delete it. That will give a checkered (transparent) background around Belle, then save to a .GIF format. That should do the trick.

Awesome!!

I love that little camera, I really do. Especially how small it is. It's been the best friend I have had for ages now!

And I do have one other lens so far (I've been wanting more though ). It's a 50-200mm. I mostly use it at hockey games.

Sounds great.

I was going to do the same thing with my Snow White but I've been lazy. Never thought to save it as GIF though. I usually use PNG for transparent backgrounds.

I'm super excited about the camera...I've wanted an SLR for a few years now and once I looked at this one, it's gotten GREAT reviews. Can't wait to get my grubby hands on it.

I don't know if these message boards will support files that aren't .jpeg or .gif...otherwise I would normally use another file type if I was going to say, import it into Illustrator or something.

 

[FlameGirl]

Sounds great.

What's your email addy?

 

[Belle Ella]

My internet is being mean First it wont let me post and then it eraes my entire message. Stupid, stupid internet!

 

[FlameGirl]

I hate that.

 

[Belle Ella]

OK, so as I was trying to say!!

I know how you feel. I was so excited when I finally got my hands on a DSLR to call my very own for the first time. I swear it didn't leave my side for what felt like months!! I wish I had the opportunity to get out with it more right now but my scool schedule is packed and I can't carry around my camera bag on top of my art portfolio, backpack, art case, etc. I'm already bogged down like I can't believe!

I doubt the avs would take the PNG, yeah. I know I can post them though. I do all the time since it bugs me that the background on the boards ins't white. That boxey look isn't my thing when I make graphics, words, and signatures.

That's so funny...you can tell if someone is a designer by little OCD things just like that. Your avatar is FINE Michele, but the white box has been nagging at me for days now. haha.

Reminds me of 500 Days of Summer when she said "They used to call me 'anal girl'.

So, let's talk battery life. How long can you typically go without recharging? Do you have a spare battery?

 

[Belle Ella]

Hm, never saw that so I'll take your word for it!

It's funny because I make graphics occasionally some place where the background color is so close to white that you almost can't see the box if it's not transparent, but it still drives me up the wall! It just stands out a little too much.

 

[kaoden39]

Thank you Kathy. I changed it. For some reason it shows up the same. I will mess with it later. Right now I need to get ready to drop my girls at the movies and go shopping. Talk to you ladies later.

Like your Snow White...the background is a different white than the forum.
