tv shows and camera lenses
Jul. 11th, 2014 09:22 am
New show that I'm watching: The Leftovers. I've watched both eps that have aired and have realllly enjoyed it so far. It's kind of like The Walking Dead without zombies. My only wariness comes from the fact that one of the creators is Damon Lindelof, and well... Lost. That's all I need to say.
Shows I'm done with:
Game of Thrones: The show just brings me more rage than enjoyment, and I feel happier after not watching it anymore. I think it does a lot of things well, but the things it doesn't do well makes me so annoyed that it's just not worth it. My biggest fear is that I'm going to have to find out what happens at the end of the series on the TV show, rather than getting to read about it in the books. :/
Elementary: This show had its charms, especially in S1, even though neither of the leads do anything for me. However, after finishing S2, I am completely done with it. ( Spoilery comment. )
In totally different news, I have gone completely camera lens crazy. This is because of the Richard Sherman Celebrity Softball game next weekend, where I want to get reallllllly good pictures. In the last couple of weeks I have purchased maybe five new camera lenses. >.> When my coworker D. found out, he was like, "OHMYGOD WHAT ARE YOU DOING. WHY DIDN'T YOU CONSULT ME." (He's sort of my mentor when it comes to photography and video making, as he does those things on the side, quite successfully.) So I sent him and another coworker, who's also an amateur-pro at photography, my current list of lenses, and got their opinions on which ones they would recommend I keep and which I should sell. They didn't see each other's comments until the end, so I was impressed that they both came up with roughly the same answers (which also lends credibility to them!).
If there are any photography experts out there who want to chime in with your opinion, your feedback would be welcome :) Or maybe this will help other amateurs like me who are curious about what lenses these guys think are worth keeping. ( Camera lenses for DSLRs! )
