My Canon 30D.

October 25th, 2006 | by john |

I am officially a Canon man. This is sort of a continuation of my previous post labeled Blurry excitement. Last week, I finally purchased the camera and equipment I've been wanting for over two years. On top of that, I bought some supplemental items as well. As of today I received all items ordered. So now in my possession are the following items:

As you may be able to tell, this was a serious investment for me. It definitely wasn't me being impulsive – it was about me finally having the time, money, and the need to explore a hobby that I've wanted to develop for a very long time. It would have been impulsive if I bought the Canon 5D (ok, I admit considering it for about half a day but I came to my senses :) ).

It's going to take me some time to get to know my new equipment, especially since I usually don't have much time during the weekdays. However, it will be difficult for this camera to be not in my hands when I am not at work. I will be honest here and say you won't see very good photos from me any time soon but I will try my best to capture captivating light through the eyes of my new camera. :)

Bad news is… I got a lot of rebate forms to fill out. Oh darn, I'll live. ;)

Purchases aside, I've been looking at the weather forecast for this weekend and it looks like there will be precipitation in the area Saturday but sunny on Sunday. Either way, I hope the weather will allow me to go out and shoot this weekend. I am thinking about shooting at one or more of these locations: a park, uptown, and where I work.

Speaking of which… I'll need to revamp my site (preferably redo and design everything from scratch) to make room for the gigs of photos that will be posted by yours truly in the near future.

    hey john,
    nice purchase. i’m so tired of these nikon people at tech. i’ve been borrowing multitudes of nikon slr’s, but when it comes down to it i miss my canon film slr. canon lenses are just simply amazing. and to be honest, i’ve been oogling the 30d for a long time too. its probably gonna be one of my first major purchases once i’m out of this school. anyway, yea, hope all is well and when are you comming to atl next? i miss humping you every morning in the arm. hehe. well i better get back to studying. all nighters at lib is killing me. ::sigh:: keep shooting, and post some more pics! take care, sung
