When? Soon Enough. That’s Not Soon Enough!

Don’t you just hate it when you’re stuck waiting for items to become available so you can buy them? I have no patience when it comes to purchasing things. I want to spend as quickly as possible and be done with it. I know what I want and want to make a bee line for it. This holds especially true for gadgets like this.

I’m dying here.

Expensive Toys

I’ve been looking at purchasing my first dSLR recently. I have narrowed my search down to a couple options, but I’m leaning towards this body and this lens. Yes, I realize these are expensive items. I’ll worry about that later. I could go with lesser models, but that’s very unlike me. When I really want something, I buy the better stuff and then don’t use it to the fullest.

Adding a Little Class to My Life

I have embarked on journey with Michelle to add a little bit of class to our lives, specifically photography class. We had our first class yesterday night, and it seems pretty good. There isn’t any hands on camera use during the class. The teacher wants us to do that during the week to put what we learned into practice.

There was a lot of terminology thrown at us, but I think I have a grasp on most of what was said. Telephoto lenses are better for portraits, but if you want to take a picture of your junk, use a wide angle. It’ll look more impressive. They didn’t actually teach that in the class, but it should work based on the principles of lenses we learned. I’d try it, but I’m afraid I would forget to erase the memory card before giving it back to Kyung.

Hopefully I’ll be able to post some of the pictures I take as I learn to take better photos. Here’s one I took last night.

This guy won’t stay still enough for my point and shoot camera.
