Wish List Thursday

Here's for a theme I'll completely forget about next week....

I love photography. I love capturing the perfect picture. I love getting an emotion by the press of a button. I simply love love love the gadgets that help you accomplish all of it. I love having my Sony Alpha, it's a great camera that's accessories aren't as expensive as other brands. I don't have many complaints about my camera, just really one actually...well two. First off it's impossible to find a battery grip for it since they no longer make them for the Alpha A230. Second, not all camera stores sell accessories for my camera because it isn't Canon or Nikon. Lame if you ask me. So I just go to Amazon for my camera needs.My current camera wish list has about $3200 worth of accessories I want. 

Opteka 650-2600mm

The box only says to 650-1300mm but the description says 650-2600mm. It's going for $300. Comes with the lens only.

Phoenix 650-130mm

This is going for $280 and comes with a cleaning kit and tripod. I already have one, but having another can never be a bad thing. It also comes with a carrying case, I'm trying to pick between this one and the one above.

Kenko 420-800mm

Lens alone, no sort of kit. $180

Phoenix 500mm

Comes with a cleaning kit and monopod. $130. Cheaper than the one above and comes with more. Neither come with a case. I'm leaning towards the 500mm.

Sony 75-300mm

Going for $250. Very sad considering how much I can get telephoto lenses for. But it's Sony brand so that explains.

Sony 50mm

Good macros and portraits from what others have posted. I love doing macros. Going for a measly $150.

Rokinon FE8M-S 8mm

I really really REALLY want a fisheye lens. Really. Going for a strange $272. The example pictures are awesome.

Opteka Super Wide Angle Panoramic Macro Fisheye

 

Going for $30, I love the pictures this can take. I love the price too.

55mm Wide Angle Lens

 

$15 can't beat that price. The example photos weren't that good, but I think it's because the photographer wasn't that good. Or maybe just poor choice of subject.

It's a frightening amount of money I want to spend, but I know I will get a lot of use out of the lenses I choose. If I remember next week, I'll post other accessories I'd love to have. Cheaper accessories :D

iPhone Apps :D

My sister told me a few weeks back that my iPhone is boring. Soooooo here's some apps this boring person likes.

Facebook and Twitter (the free apps) basic, simple, wonderful.

WKYT Radar so much better than the regular weather app. Has a 10 day forecast, radar, and alerts. Yeah that is sort of boring.

UK Sports. Covers all Wildcat teams, but I just use the men's basketball section. Even keeps the score posted during the games.

My AT&T. Easiest way to do paperless billing.

Netflix and Hulu :D Great time killer.
 
Around Me. Pretty handy; uses GPS to tell you various businesses, gas stations, and restaurants you're near.

Dog Parks same concept uses GPS to locate the nearest dog park.

RMaker makes ringtones. Pretty simple, but has a YouTube tutorial video to help.

Angry Birds (Original, Rio, & Seasons) Yeah I folded to peer pressure.

I Am T-Pain Again peer pressure.

MusicID I love love LOVE this app. So handy, it identifies songs by just hearing them. Pretty nice if you can't keep up with artists/bands or song names.

PS Express nice way to make a crappy looking cell phone picture be less crappy looking.

Ok now to geek out....

Harry Potter Scene It

HP Spells

Lego HP

Yeah those are my "I geeked out majorly when I got this" apps. I also have the Muggle Net app and the Half Blood Prince movie app.

I have other apps I use for my various shopping and banking accounts, and one for the University my husband goes too (which is GPS as well). So iPhone users, what are your favorite apps?

Favorite Products: Mouth, Face, and Body Edition

In fear of having a boring blog, here's for making things slightly less boring.

Sensodyne Foaming Whitening $7
 I've used whitening toothpastes before, but I've actually noticed a difference since using the Sensodyne. It's a bit more expensive than other brands but so worth it. I love the pump, makes getting the toothpaste out easier.

Oral B 3D Whitening Toothbrush $6
I love this toothbrush, it leaves my teeth and gums feeling squeaky (literally) clean. I love Oral B toothbrushes.



 

Clean & Clear Morning Burst Surge

$15 (initial set up)

$5.50 (disposable pads)

I love this, leaves my skin feeling oil free but not dry.

Clean & Clear Morning Burst In Shower Facial $5

I use this Monday, Wednesday, and Fridays.

Biore Pore Unclogging Scrub $6

Love it. Doesn't leave my face greasy.

Biore Pore Strips $9

Gets most of the blackheads. I use these a few times a week.

Nivea Touch of Happiness Body Wash $3
This actually does wake me up, leaves the skin smooth but not greasy.

If you haven't tried any of these products might be worth it to check them out. I normally get these at either Wal-Mart, Rite Aid, or Target. But I'd assume they wouldn't be hard to find, if they are try Amazon.

Charlie Sheen

Just curious why hasn't anyone (within his family) went to court and tried to have him committed? He's obviously got something going on mentally and needs help. It's kind of crazy.
