You might have noticed that in the last several posts, the quality of photos has been all over the place. That's because I've been switching between 2 cameras and a cell phone for the past 2 months. Last week I finally went for it and got myself a new one. (Actually Donnie bought it for me from some money he'd been saving. Thanks, hon!)
I did a little research and found this article, which told me exactly what I needed and what I would want to save up for. I love articles like that, because on this subject in particular, I was totally clueless.
I settled on the Canon T3i, which is supposed to be a good bridge from point and shoot to DSLR. We bought the body only from a guy on CraigsList for a couple hundred bucks less than retail. And it was practically brand new! I love that about CraigsList! I went for several days without a lens, which was excruciating after dropping that kind of cash on the body. But then we found a guy in Dallas with the 50mm f/1.8 I was looking for. Hurray! I can finally take pictures!
But I don't really know what I'm doing. And I don't even care at the moment, because I never took photos like these with any other camera.
Those last few were from last weekend's much-anticipated Rainbow Party. I'll share more of it just as soon as I'm able to put this camera down.
Later, friends!
