The Good Photos Around Here are by Olympus

Olympus heard about my trip south, so they

stocked me up with cameras… thanks guys, a LOT!

It’s their new Olympus PEN Series. Think the quality and changeable optics of an SLR, but little and portable. Mine’s the E-PL3.

The accessories are endless, click here. It comes with a light out of the box, you carry in it that little velvet case, chic.

I really want this external microphone, because the PEN does video too. You click the red button at any time and boom, you’re recording video.  That is key, because you never miss what you’re trying to capture, since that’s the point.

First lens I’ve ever had.

First camera I’ve ever had that clicks aloud.

It has filters built in, in the “Art” setting.

This will reduce my blogging time,

And make more fun photos more fun to look at.

Everyone is winning here today!

I have no idea how to use a lens, and look how crisp my photos still are.

They also upgraded my 2009 Olympus TOUGH – waterproof, freeze proof, sand proof, does video at 1280×720, flash of course, and here’s the best part: you can stand on it  :O

No joke, technically two of me could stand on it and it’d still work.  That’s why I bought one in the first place; I’m hard on stuff.

Thanks for kitting me out, Olympus!

 

 

The Largest Amount of Dinosaurs in the World

I’m pleased to report that
Canada sets another world record

Dinosaur Provincial Park

It’s just outside Brooks, Alberta in the badlands, or two hours from Calgary.

Imagine how international that makes Brooks in the summer? Archeologists from all over the world come to dig around.

3 FAST FACTS

  1. – more dinosaur species have been discovered here than anywhere else in the world
  2. – it was 75 million years ago dinosaurs were cruising around
  3. – the area was a warm moist climate, swamps and wetlands

The United Nations recognizes this as a world heritage site, YES Canada.

Get THIS: 1910-20 was the ‘Great Canadian Dinosaur Rush’; rival gangs of collectors raced and fought to find the best and most bones.

What do I do? Oh I’m a blackmarket dinosaur bone trader bwahaha.
