It’s here, it’s here! I got my new kit yesterday! It’s SO fantastic. The kit includes:
Canon EOS 300D Body (Limited black edition)
18-55 Lens (USM)
Vertical battery grip
Spare battery
Cokin UV filter
Polarising filter
Lowepro carry bag
I’ve taken a few shots this morning, and results are GOOD. Compared to my G6, this camera is in another league altogether. Firstly, manual focusing rocks! The auto focus is VERY quick. The lens is pretty versatile (to start off with). I still need to get used to doing things the ‘manual’ way, but WOW, oh WOW, I’m gonna have some fun with this!
Tomorrow, I’ll be heading off on holiday for a week. I’ll be sure to take hundreds of pics, so expect some new work when I get back!

I got a tablet for my birthday yesterday. It’s gonna be cool for photo touch ups, etc. Here’s a quick scetch: -> [link] . I guess I just need to learn how to draw now!
I am so stuffed. We went out last night to celebrate my birthday. Needless to say a steady supply of alcohol was forced upon me! Good thing today was a public holiday, and I’m not working tomorrow either.
I need coffee.
kthxbaai!

My camera has been stolen.
I will no longer be taking photographs.
I cannot afford a new camera. I had to save for months to purchase my last one.
I no longer wish to live here.
Pity.
I was enjoying myself.

So, I sold my camera yesterday.
Rather, I sold my second hand Canon G6 for more that what I purchased it for brand new. *beam*. I plan on getting myself the 300D now (Some may bash it, and advise me otherwise, but the fact of the matter is that I’ve already purchased a spare BP-511 battery pack, as well as memory cards, etc. To move to another brand would be a bit of a waste). Feeling quite excited about it now!
It’s my brother’s birthday tomorrow, and I still have no idea what to get for him.
Work is shit.

Well, I just finished watching “50 First Dates” & “Along came Polly”. My mom’s requests. We’ll leave it at that.
So, moving right along, I also just purchased my first subscription to DA. That probably explains why I’m writing this arb journal entry - I had to try out all the nifty new features!
Also, today I got told that I’m in the wrong profession - that I should stop being a geek and take up photography. I took that as quite a compliment. (If only she knew how little I actually know!). I also finally go my car back, after a week and a half. I hate relying on other people for transport. Eck. What else? Oh yeah, take a look at [link] for some FANTASTIC wallpapers.
It’s my brothers birthday on Saturday, and mine next Wednesday. If anyone knows some magical method of doubling up money really quickly, let me know, mmkay?!
Right. Bedtime.
Baaai!
