Rocket Fizz Soda Pop & Candy Shop

Rocket Fizz Soda Pop & Candy Shop

We recently discovered Rocket Fizz in Downtown Indianapolis. These shops originated in California, their site shows they also have shops in Arizona, Colorado, Nebraska, Nevada, Tennessee, Texas and now here in Indy.

We just went for the first time, and instantly loved this place. It’s almost overwhelming when you first walk in. Unfortunately I didn’t get pictures like I was hoping to do, mainly because the shop was packed. But the first thing I really took note of upon entering was the life sized Spiderman statue. Awesome.

Sony NEX 5N, My noobish thoughts

Sony NEX 5N Digital Mirrorless Camera

Sony NEX 5N

Photography’s always been something that I’ve had a mild interest in. I never could actually do anything about that interest, due to my lack of a real camera.

Well lately I’ve decided it was time to correct that situation, so I am now the owner of a Sony NEX 5N mirrorless camera. And let me tell you, this thing is well worth the cash I dropped for it.

Seeing that the only thing I’ve had to take pictures with up till now is my cameraphone, the word upgrade seems a bit of an understatement.

So, how about getting some specs out there.

This camera is rocking a 16.1 megapixel APS-C sensor, 10 fps continuous shooting mode, up to 1080 / 60p AVCHD video capture, a touch-enabled 3-inch LCD, and a maximum ISO of 25,600.
