Butterfly
This photo is from a trail in the north end of Oshawa, right behind the airport (also known as “Airport Trail”). I was walking along and seen this monarch just sitting there.
I love this camera so much. On the original photo I can zoom in to 100% and see every little detail.

Dog Leash Tripod Strap
Today I went for a walk and wanted to take my camera and tripod but didn’t want to carry around my tripod looking like an idiot. So I just didn’t bother to bring either of them. I decided that I needed a strap for my tripod so I can carry it on my back or over the shoulder. As I was searching through my closet for rope I found an old dog leash that we didn’t use anymore. Of course when I took the leash out the dogs went crazy and I was stuck taking them for a walk… but back to the topic I used that dog leash to make a strap for my tripod.
It is very easy to make, just loop both ends and slide it on.

After reading through my all time favorite blog Lifehacker I came across a DIY mini photo studio. I have been looking to buy one from ThinkGeek for some time now and never thought about making it myself. After making it I noticed that I never got any lights so I got my LED flashlight and placed it on top (rather than the side). I got amazing photos but would like to get better lighting, something that I would have more control over.
Here is what I got from it.
The first photo I turned on the auto flash and focus.
The second photo I turned off the flash. I had to move the camera back because the camera would auto focus out up close.
The last image I used the cameras macro function. I was able to bring the camera right up close and still have an amazing photo with no blur.
