alright, so, i get asked what kind of camera i use fairly often.
i'm just going to post it here, so no one else will be curious.

i use a canon powershot a75, i bought it on clearance at wal-mart for about $80.
its 3.4 megapixels, so i'm pretty limited on what i can do print-wise.

canon has discontinued this particular model, but i'm supposing any canon powershot will be well worth your money.

i've also used a canon digital rebel, but i didn't have very good luck with it.
'm an amateur used to shooting in live-view, so it really bothered me composition-wise.


and just to note, i /always/ shoot on fast-shutter mode. if i don't, all my photos turn out impossibly blurred.

i'm also a huge fan of manual focus, and my trusty ten second timer.

anyway, i hope that was informative in some way.
