It’s here!
The UPS man finally delivered the goods at 6:32PM on 9/9/08! I tore into the box, threw the directions aside, and started snapping pictures. Below is a few examples of how awesome this camera is!
I promised shots of the goodies, so here they are!
I can hear the angels!
Now the bag that will transport all that beautiful gear………
Crumpler 7 Million Dollar Home
So far I am in love with the 50mm f/1.8. It gives shots a lot of life.
My first victim.....I mean subject.
Next I got a shot with the same lens of Saude, our cat.
What are you looking at? FEED ME!
Stay tuned for more to come!
Part of my equipment has arrived!
There are no pictures with this story because the big daddy 40D has not arrived yet. UPS has listed that on 9/9 it will arrive. But at least I have some light reading to look at now that my David Busch book has arrived. I’ve already read the entire book in just one afternoon, but I won’t be able to test my knowledge until everything arrives on Tuesday.
For now it’s just fun to drool all over the partial order of equipment. Listed below is what I have recieved so far…..
- Canon EF 50mm II f1.8
- Canon BG-E2N Grip
- SanDisk 4 GB Extreme III CompactFlash Card
- Crumpler 7 Million Dollar Home (this bag looks so sweet!)
- Canon EOS 40D Guide to Digital Photography by David D. Busch (Good read with lots of information)
First blog…ever!
Hey everyone. I decided to start this blog so that I can chronicle my adventures into photography. While my camera has not yet been delivered to me, I am excited to start a story that will hopefully show how my skills as a photographer develop.
A little background about me..
My name is Tristan. I’m a Doctorate of Physical Therapy student at the University of South Carolina. I have an awesome wife who is the best thing that has ever happened to me. She and I do not have kids yet, but we do have a dog and a cat. I’m sure in the future you will get to meet all of my little family from the pictures that I take with my new camera.
The Gear!
To start out I will infom you about the equipment that I have ordered. This week the following will be delivered….
