Took the GoPro out for a spin these past couple of days, and I must say, it's quite a challenge to use! I can't see what the camera sees (in the absence of a viewfinder and LCD screen), and there is no manual control on the camera. I basically point it at something and pray the GoPro can figure out how to meter the scene correctly.
However, I absolutely love the mystery behind not seeing the images until I upload them to my computer...reminds me when I shot B&W and slide film in college :) The GoPro is also crazy small and I can just throw it in my school bag and take it wherever I go. Plus it doesn't weight 3 lbs. like my D300 :) Finally, the fisheye effect is way cool, and I can't wait to play around with the perspective more.
I'll be posting a GoPro image every week, so stay tuned for more!
**note: the GoPro shoots in color, but I converted these shots to B&W because I liked the lines in each photo.
