Camera
I got a new camera, its a Nikon D40x. Here's an example of a photo I took, keep in mind this is on the jpg basic setting (it was RAW + jpg), and then I photoshopped it at 50% the aspect ratio and 60 quality.

BATTLESTAR GALACTICA:DAYBREAK
The end has finally come (with the exception of the 2 hour movie event "The Plan", but that, like Razor, is set in the past). INVISOTEXT ON
Its strange that a series finale is 50% predictable 50% unpredictable and yet 100% satisfying. The special effects of this episode were $150 million movie budget good, I think we now know why there hasn't been much in the way of "action sequences" in the past few episodes, because all that money went into this episode. Now even though the effects were great, they still don't hold a candle to quite possibly the greatest sequence in the history of the show and one of the greatest in television history. The Opera House sequence. The Opera House has been a main theme ever since Giaus Baltar and head/angel Six walked through it back on Kobol in the Season 1 finale, "Kobol's Last Gleaming". And here's where it gets incredible, we've already seen this sequence, we know that Roslin and Athena will be looking for Hera, and we know that Caprica Six is going to pick her up and her and Baltar are going to bring her into the Opera House where the Final Five are. And yet as its all intercut throughout the action, it all feels right. That scene carries the weight of 4 years of the show, and it gets it all right, it gets it the exact way that its supposed to be.
I also need to mention Bear McCreary, the shows composer. His musical themes played out perfectly over every single scene. When Roslin is dieing in the Raptor, we hear "Roslin and Adama" which is a touching theme that really makes realize that Roslin is in fact dead. For the Opera House sequence we hear "The shape of things to come", which has been the theme for the opera house since Season 1. There are many many more, and every single one is nailed out of the park for the moment and emotion that is needed for that scene.
Its rare that a series finale leaves you so satisfied, most of the time you're left wondering, "what if", like they haven't explored all the ideas that they could have. But with Daybreak, it is exactly as the end should have been, Ron Moore (he was the guy reading the National Geographic at the end) has been able to relate and entire series to our current events, and in doing so has drawn a couple of pretty astonishing parallels. KITT + ASIMO = Cylon? Only time will tell.
And so ends Galactica, SO SAY WE ALL!
