Waiting for my lovely to come in and how the weeks been

How small sensors have changed. This is an ISO 400 shot from the Nikon flagship of 2004, the Coolpix 8800. Clearly ISO 400 is unusable, with grain visibly degrading the image completely zoomed out. No need to pixel peep here. Considered to be a camera worthy of replacing a DSLR with an equivalent lens (in this case a very slow 10x zoom 35-350 f.2.6 to 4.9 lens), it really doesnt seem to belong with an APSC sensor. Im really shocked at how bad ISO 400 is at this time, considering the use I get on my 2007 era Nikon P5100. I am so psyched for my P7700, just wish Canada Post wouldn’t screw up my order. I know its still a small sensor but I can’t wait to see what I can do with it. Especially with that 28-200 F2-4 lens!Image courtesy of dcresource.com

The Nikkon 8800 from a dpreview.com image gallery. What a beautiful camera for its time.

Mum dropped off some comfort food before I got neck deep into marking again.

Conference for Alberta FASD held at the Delta Hotel

Our posters for the conference from the massive summer evaluation

Fellow colleagues with our big huge evaluation results

South side Edmonton from the 11th floor

Cramming at the Edmonton Public Library at Whitemud Crossing. Really chill here. Love the EPL!

Last minute dinner at Nomiya before I head home and slam some more marking in.

Spicy miso ramen for dinner. So good on a cold day.

Colleague bought a monster load of instant brew coffees for the work Keurig.

Dinner at Pagolac Vietnamese restaurant downtown. Not bad, kind of sketchy place but great food.

I always feel like I never get my money’s worth when I get rice vermicelli bowls, but whatever. W gave me tons of her soup.

W picked up some hot pho for dinner. Great choice for the cold fall night outside.

More late night cramming at the McDonald’s by campus. 24 hours and unlimited coffee.

W made some awesome dinner with fried rice cakes, dumplings and some other stuff. So much better to have home made meals than the crap meals I ate when she was gone haha.

More marking in my school office. This candle kept my sanity throughout.

At the lawyer’s office signing documents after finishing marking at four AM. At the lawyers at 8 AM. OMG.

Lunch with my sis at Sake bistro on campus. Not bad bento, but I have had better for sure.

Sister’s lunch.

Some more microwaved T&TSueprmarket meat. Way too much fat, totally not worth it.

W making my big bad wolf costume for our class Halloween party!

Grabbing KFC for a fun family dinner with my sis, her husband and my parents and W.

Mom grabbed a ton of veggies so it didn’t feel like we were eating battered fried things for the entire dinner. Success! I didn’t feel gross.

Sis and husband bought dessert from Dairy Queen with an affectionate thank you note.
