Guess what happened today! *Waits anxiously* No no! Guess! *Begins to tap my foot* Ok... You give up, Right? Good. *Gleefully smiles like a child* I got a new camera! Mmmhhhmmm! What on Earth for!? I honestly don't know. I think its lens envy. Truth is... I've been eyeing up this particular camera for quite some time. (Yes, it is a Canon, seeing that I will not buy any other brand. And yes, its also a DSLR) I work in a shop...and naturally, I work near the camera section. I am the one who merchandises and designs the signage to tell a story in the cases. So naturally, I like to demand big lenses that cost alot, and cameras that look ever so lovely on display. I don't get all the lenses I'd like in the cabinet, because the company will not let me possess that pricey of stock, but its nice to have a little assortment of lovely lenses. I have a lust for lenses! Ha ha ha. Must do? So... back to the gem I bought. It's a Canon 60D with an 18-135mm IS Lens. Yummy!
Still don't have a clue what I'm going to do now... I want to go shoot photos tomorrow... or today actually, but we shall see if I really get around to it. Anyone know some great places in Auckland? Or Just outside of Auckland? Maybe I can do a bit of traveling. I miss going places with Chris. We had alot of good times traveling to different cities and doing things. But now...since I've moved to Auckland, and bogged myself down with two businesses and two schools and so forth... gets to be a challenge really. Ahh well. I will make some time tomorrow, and hopefully get some great works.
Anyone care to share ideas and tips? My personal recommendation for anyone who has a DSLR, try the Canon 50mm f/2.8 I think it is.... Its a nice little prime lens. ABSOLUTELY LOVELY! Huge aperture. Perfect for low light settings... great to control the depth of field, and all sorts of goodies! ^^ Cheapest and best lens you will ever buy, rest assured. Perfect for portraits too! Can't wait to use mine to shoot photos of Romanoff! :P ha ha . Idk, I think hes got great features. If there is anyone else in Auckland who just wants photos from an armature designer/photo enthusiast, let me know! My good friend, who was Mr. World NZ 2010 is a great subject to photograph, don't get me wrong, but... I would like to explore other options! Ha ha. If anyone wants to get together to take photos locally, let me know also! Any good camera clubs? :)
I bought another lens with the camera today also... I have to try that out tomorrow as well. Will let you see how that goes. I will put my Flickr account up here for viewing, .... wait a minute... Did I just say that? DUH! It's displaying photos as we speak! or blog...or whatever it is we are doing! The Royal we! :P I'm delighted you even take time to consider that we are a we. In fact, you may not know me well enough to want us to be a we. But you are you and I am me... together we make We. Ha ha. Ok, Someone is getting very tired and delusional. The delusional is ok, that's natural...the tired..is self inflicted. So I shall quit rambling on about cameras, lens envy, and start actually resting.
Oh yeah, King Lear was boring. I mean..this version of it. Totally threw me off.
Where did that come from? Sheesh. The only thing I can say is pink yarn makes a lovely crocheted sweater and booties. Also, that kitty litter is really a great invention for those with cats who actually use it. Mine doesn't. God only knows where she goes... but I never have to invest in litter. If slicks were wicks and wicks were ... Yeah, previous IQ test. I don't know, I tend to guess on those.
HA! Night.
Koshka...Meeeeaaaahhhhh... Ga!
