nikon d40

I've been planning to get a dslr camera for some time now. I've done some researching about the available models and I eventually decided to buy a nikon d40.

Now that the introduction is over, here are some pictures of the camera which I made with my mobile phone's camera:

And here are some photos I made with the d40:


The last three I made by holding additional lens in front of the camera [kinda corny but it worked :P ], since the d40 standard kit has 18-55 mm lens which cannot focus on objects closer than 6 cm or so.

students & localhosts

Still, it's great for work.
Here's a nice screenshot showing off Kate's [text editor from the fedora distribution] terminal.

fallout

After a bit of waiting [about 1.5 months] I finally got my copy of Fallout 3.
Although many didn't expect it, Fallout 3 lives up to the series offering quality post apocalyptic entertainment to the masses.
