Misq Blog! Something about everything!

Well, the first impression for me wasn’t very nice at all. One thing I was thinking was - God damn it’s hudge! And till now i have been using only compact digital camers like eg. Nikon Coolpix L1, so imagine how was I confused while seeing Canon for the first time.

The thing is I really like photography and some people even say I’m good at that.. I also believe that if you want to take really nice picture, you have to find a perfect place at the perect time. And this is much easier with a small compact digital camera than hudge digital SLR… Besides, I like having my camera always with me and that’s starting to be really difficult with the Canon EOS.. Please take a look at the dimentions and the weight(!) below:

Dimentions: 129 x 98 x 62 mm (5.1 x 3.9 x 2.4 in)
Weight (no battery): 475 g (1.0 lb)

Also you can find the full specyfication of Canon EOS 450D Of course besides the weight and the dimentions, other parameters are REALLY IMPRESSING and it’s really worth reading the full review, before making final opinion..

Anyway, my point always was you can easily take great photos with small compact cameras.. As you can see I have just wrote WAS.. Yeap it took me only two or three days to totally change my mind! And to be honest the size and weight of the camera really don’t bother you when photos are so fu**** fantastic! Besides there is so much fun with setting the perfect settings for each photo.. nothing like a compact cameras!!

To sum up Canon EOS 450D is a perfect example of digital SLR for everyone who really loves taking photos, you just need a day or two with it.. In the next post I’ll try to show you few examples but I really need to choose some that you would appreciate and resize.. A LITTLE :))

Update:  Below You can find a little preview of what can You do with EOS 450D and things you’re using every day The photo is not perfect for sure - there are just to many options and settings, besides this photo was taken on the first day of my adventure with Canon.

The closing option in Canon is very powerfull, and when added matching ligthning, you can really catch nice cadr. Anyway, judge by Yourself. Please also remember that photos are much smaller now, than when they were taken (2056px x 3088px), so the quality is a little worse, but still good enought…

Have you ever drunk coffee, which you thought was the best ever? I did. And as I really like many kinds of coffee, and I drank lot of it, I know what I’m saying - there is just one company distributing coffee you need to know: Nespresso!!

They have two different kinds of coffee machines - one is for home and another one for professional use. For every machine there is a different kind of coffee capsules. But really there is no difference between them, they all taste great! And I’ve tried them all: Espresso Forte, Espresso Leggero, Caffe Forte, Caffe Leggero, Ristretto and of course Decaffeinato Lungo and Decaffeinato Intenso.

Here is the short description:

• Espresso Forte - is made of the very best pure Central and South American Arabica which gives it very rich, distinctive flavor and aroma. Drink it strong and black with a little bit of milk and lightly sweeten.
• Espresso Legero - roasted in true Italian style, this blend of Latin American Arabica and West African Robusta is distinctive for its intensity with a hint of delicate bitterness. It offers a harmony of taste, both mild and aromatic.
• Caffe Forte - a pure Arabica made from the finest Latin American beans. This deeply velvety, rich and intense coffee is best savored in a large cup, with or without milk.
• Caffe Leggero - blended from the finest Arabicas from Latin America and East Africa, this intensely aromatic coffee distinguishes itself by its fruity bouquet and mildness.
• Decaffeinato - decaffeinated naturally, it reveals a full-bodied yet subtle flavor derived from its blend of Latin American Arabicas with a touch of Robusta.

Also there are seasonal flavours, which are always delicious. The last one was Jinogalpa Special Club 2008 - a coffee full of flavours. A product of the Nicaraguan earth, it has been given intensity and a wealth of aromas. On tasting, this pure Arabica reveals subtle sandalwood tones and refreshing herbal notes.

It’s also very easy to make a great real cappuccino!! You need just a bit of milk - a little tube with hot air makes your milk into a foam. Then you refiil your cup with coffee and it’s done!

There is another good quality of Nespresso - the coffee capsule of course. Why? Two reasons. First is that the coffe is always fresh sealed with it’s aroma inside the capsule. And the second one is that there is hardly anything to clean! The used capsule goes to the little container which makes the machine very quick and easy to keep clean! For me- very important!

If you didn’t try any of Nespresso coffee yet - I recomend you do that!

I’ve always wanted to visit London. I’ve heard a lot of how special it is. Why special? What is so special about it?
Well it IS SPECIAL !! It’s just different than any other European city. But at first some facts:

London is the largest city in the European Union. On July 2007, it had an official population of 7,556,900. The city is a major tourist destination for both domestic and overseas visitors, with annual expenditure by tourists of around £15 billion. It is one of the world’s most important business, financial, and cultural centres and its influence in politics, education, entertainment, media, fashion.

In London you can find a tradition and modernity at the same time. And even that it’s a real metropolis I felt just like home, like I belong there. The atmosphere of London - the architecture, museums and art galleries, thousands of shops and hotels, streets, traditional English cabs, red Phone Booths, people of many nationalities, cultures and religoins - it all makes this city worth seeing.

They say that London is expesive, well, it might be, but you can also find some nice cheap hotels and shops

Of course we visited London not just once! We’ve been there with Greg at least 5 times…. It’s really hard to say but it may have been even 10 times!! We like to travel and have seen some other European cities, but London still IS THE BEST!

The fine hotel in Kensington:

The Canary Wharf - Business district

London by night:
The famous Big Ben

And The London Eye

Regents Park - A great place where you can spend your free time

So, as you can see yourself - how not to love London? Sometimes I think I could live there…

We’re back after 2 months break of blogging.. basically, we decided not to write on this blog anymore and then, out of nowhere, changed our minds again So here we are.. This is the first post of the new blog and as always can’t thing of anything that should be here.

Anyway, in future you’ll be able to find here posts about daily issues, some reviews, opinions and of course photos. So nothing has changed.

Well maybe one thing changed.. You shoud expect more posts and more PHOTOS (mostly because of the digital camera from the next post..) than we were posting before.
