Niek’s weblog

Since it’s been my birthday, I’ve gotten a new digital camera. It’s a Traveler DC-XZ6. I’ve already used it to take some neat pictures which can be seen at my Picasa album. Of course I’m new with this thing, so don’t expect miracles.

I’ve also gotten a tripod, a Velbon CX-300. It’s a pretty neat tripod, which folds up to 45 centimeters and comes with a nice carrying case bag.

The camera also comes with a fully manual control, which allows you to set shutter times. I’ve used this to take some nice pictures of cars passing by at night, which can be seen at my Car pictures with long shutter time album.

Overall, I’m pretty happy with the camera, and it also has allowed me to take some cool panorama pictures with the aid of my tripod (more about that later.)

I’ve also gotten a Garfield pocket (#49 to be exact) and the DVD “If I knew I was a genius”, and some Celebrations.
