Canon EOS 600D

:iconzeiphex:

So, after lots of saving, and starving myself in order to save, I have managed to buy a Canon EOS 600D. :excited: I can't really afford to buy food or anything for the rest of the month, but hey, minor detail, right? I am so excited to finally own a full DSLR and I can't wait to learn how to use it properly. I have a 300+ page manual and I'm trying to understand the myriad of new photography terms and techniques that I never had to deal with with a hybrid model - a little daunting, but even more exciting. I feel like a little kid on Christmas or birthdays :D Once I've learned the basics of this camera I'll be getting a 60mm (I think?) macro lens, as the stock lens is a standard 18-55mm lens. I ask my photography watchers to please bear with me while I learn the ropes here - and I'm sure I'll have some lovely images in no time :)

Ah, well thank you, too! \^.^/ The one liners kind of annoy me, so I try not to do one liners (unless it's in response to something that only deserves a one liner).

Thank you, and yes, it's awesome :D I'll be posting more work from it just as soon as Telkom sorts out DSL on my line. They've made me wait more than 3 weeks already. Wireless dongle sucks D:

The real world does not start when you graduate high school, or when you can start drinking or when you get a job, you've been in the real world your whole life. So go live it.

Hey :) No new pictures for a while, as I'm hopefully getting an EOS 600D soon - I'm just too frustrated with my current camera (not to mention the fact that I seem to have lost its USB connection in the move OTL ) x.x

Not too bad on my side, just bust securing our new apartment and then we're going to start moving in on the 1st. So, no immediate plans for new pictures at the moment I'm afraid. I could upload a few of the nicer ones from that experimental shoot though. I'm also trying to get a Canon EOS (haven't decided which one yet), as pictures taken with my Finepix S1500 really don't have a very professional quality at all.

It's not the equipment that makes pictures. You can make good pictures with the one You have. I've always had an opinion that even the best camera with a bad person using it will produce poor results, and the worst camera with a good photographer can make a great pictures.
