Well, well, well!
I’ve bought myself a new camera. The taxman decided I’d overpaid, so he gave me a refund. Thanks for the Canon EOS 350D, Mr Taxman!
After a year, looks like I’m finally back in business folks!

On Firday I was help up at gunpoint. I was tied up with my own shoelaces. My phone, wallet, car and all its contents were stolen. My camera was in my car, along with my brand new 50mm f/1.4 usm lens. I hadn’t even used it yet. 200 dvds. My clothes. My LIFE.
No more pictures. Nice knowing you.
Fuck it. The world can fuck itself.
Aaargh. I’m sick. I can’t stand this. My head feels like it’s gonna explode! *sniff*
Anyway, I’ve aquired a new lens for myself. It’s a 50mm F1.8 prime. Fantastic for portrait work, as well as low light situations! *bounce*
How are you folks keeping?

OK, so I got myself a new lens today. It’s a Tamron 70-300 1:2 macro F4-5.6 LD. Cheap and cheerful, but should set me well on my way in learning to work with a larger lens (and it’s what suited my budget at this point in time)
I think I’ve summed up my feeling for photography:
==========
You know when you find someone that you just get on really well with, or you find that perfect pair of shoes, or that perfect bit of porn that always gets you hard? I think that’s how I’d explain what photography is for me right now.

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!

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.
