I saw the Moon and had the urge to take its picture.
700 miles down, 160 miles to go.
I left for Los Angeles, California from Boise, Idaho early this morning. A lot of pictures taken along the way, some are totally unusable, some are fine and some I am really happy with.
The weather was good despite of being cold. It was only as low as 16 degree Fahrenheit.
In the middle of the trip, the Virgin Mobile MiFi stopped working. I had to rely on my phones for Internet access.
Idaho, Oregon and Nevada; I am now back in California. There are 160 more miles to go till I get home. My colleague and I took turns driving. So far we’re pretty much on time.
It’s roughly a 860-mile trip from Idaho to California. Great view along the mountains.
My gear for the road.
I’m on the road again for an assignment in Idaho. Why Idaho? I myself wonder why.
Anyway, here’s what I have in my gear bag:
- MacBook Pro 15-inch.
- iPad 2.
- Canon EOS 60D, obviously I need this for this assignment.
- Nexus One, don’t tell AT&T about it.
- An iPhone, which one?
- Virgin Mobile Mi-Fi, which is useless around Boise area. It was really useful on I-15.
- A lot of power adapters, one for each device.
It has been snowing in Boise but it doesn’t stick to the ground. I’m looking forward to Saturday for the assignment.
Update:
Random Picture for Saturday.
Well, to be honest everyone is out doing whatever including me. Just got home and all I can come up with is posting one random picture from my camera.
Picture is taken using Canon EOS 60D.
Can’t come up with anything but a picture.
There are a lot of things happening today but I was way to busy to come up with one thing to write. So I’m posting this picture.

My New Gear: Canon EOS 60D
I have been wanting to get a new DSLR Camera for a few months now. I have Canon gears so I was looking into getting Canon EOS 7D late last year. During one of the trip, I stopped by Idaho Camera at Boise Towne Square Mall and tried out a few cameras. One of them was Canon EOS 60D and I really like the swivel screen.
I ordered the Canon EOS 60D on Monday from Amazon.com with one-day shipping; I have Amazon Prime Membership. The camera arrived Tuesday Afternoon as promised. I immediately opened the packaging and charged the battery. Unfortunately I already had a commitment or Tuesday evening that I didn’t have a chance to play with the camera.
Wednesday comes and I took a few pictures with the camera, I still have to learn the controls. In the meantime, I’m still using the Canon EOS 500D/Digital Rebel T1i as my main camera.
I am going to take a week or two to learn using the EOS 60D before using it as my main camera.
What’s next?
I know I need a new flash unit to go with the 60D.
