Gary finally gets his coffee

This is not quite on the same level as Eddie finally getting his cappuccino but after 8 years I was finally able to get another hit of Wonda Morning Shot coffee.

Sold out of the omnipresent vending machines that dot the landscape of Japan, Wonda Morning Shot was my early morning caffeine beverage of choice. Unlike Suntory Boss Coffee I have never been able to find this in North America.

I bought the coffee along with some breakfast pastries while wandering around the Ikebukuro Station early Sunday morning taking my new camera for a test drive. There are a near infinite number of choices and I have a great deal to learn but I am beginning to see the advantages.

I spent some time playing around with the A and S modes adjusting the aperture and shutter settings and letting the camera tell me when I'd gone too far. It seems like the trick here is to absorb and interpret as much of the information the camera provides as possible before finally taking your photo.
