This takes SOOO LONG.<br \/>\nAnyways, to make a long story<br \/>\nshort, I didn&#8217;t reset my camera&#8217;s time right away when I changed<br \/>\ntimezones (Vancouver->Japan, and Japan->Vancouver). This is a big<br \/>\nproblem (to me, at least) because my photos are named by the time the<br \/>\nfile says they are taken.<br \/>\nI&#8217;ve also been combining photos taken by other people into one place.<br \/>\nFrom my Fuji-san gallery, I combined my photos with <a href=\"http:\/\/www.livejournal.com\/users\/dacheng\">Alex<\/a>&#8216;s<br \/>\nphotos. Most of Alex&#8217;s photos were better than mine.

But mine are<br \/>\nimproving. I&#8217;ve got a better camera and I&#8217;m finally learning how to use<br \/>\nit. It&#8217;s funny, I&#8217;m always discovering new things&#8230; or just better<br \/>\ntechniques.

The video&#8230;<br \/>\nanother organizational headache. No EXIF data! \ud83d\ude41 And John, those<br \/>\nvideos your Sony took are quite good! That camera was much better than<br \/>\nthe Canon at videos; it&#8217;s 2x the dimensions, it auto-focuses during<br \/>\nvideo, and it can take as much video as you can hold. &#8230;I hope you&#8217;re<br \/>\nnot crying&#8230;.
