All I Wanted for Christmas

Ironically, probably my most useful Christmas gift is actually my birthday gift: a digital camera. I spent time playing with it over Christmas Eve and Christmas Day, taking movies of people opening gifts, pictures of my kitties, that sort of thing. I've nowhere near mastered all the features and I am still a hopelessly bad photographer. I guess I lack the imagination to stage shots, or something, but most of the ones I took were pretty standard. The one of Devin and I watching XXX I'm pretty proud of, really, seeing as it was just Vin Diesel on a bike on my TV. Oh well. The next step is to install software on my computer and download videos and pictures, followed closely by learning how to do the panoramic shots via stitching together individual shots. Should be fun.
