Nearly 2am and I probably won't get much sleep tonight. You see? In a couple of hours, I'll be heading over to my favorite camera store to purchase and pick up a brand spanking new camera! I'm SO excited! This would be my first new camera ever! Well, I have purchased a small p&s digital camera once or twice in the past and all the other "serious" cameras I own and have owned were hand me downs or used equipment. So what will I be getting?
Booyah!
Canon 7D! Oh? Digital you say? (some of my friends would probably say that) I know I've been shooting primarily on film in my photographic history and I know I've said my praises and prefer film over digital and I meant it. Still mean it. But this endeavour into the digital realm will greatly help my photography. For one, I'll be able to shoot more without waiting on developing and turn around times of film (at the moment, I have 3 rolls of film waiting to be developed) and two, I can shoot without hesitation and fear of thinking about whether or not I got the shot I wanted (but alot of times the results were pretty good so it wasn't really that much of a worry to me and I rather enjoyed a surprising result or two).
I'll still be shooting film. The way I think I'll do it is that I'll go shooting with the 7D whenever I have rolls waiting to be developed and I'll use that 7D alot since I only develop rolls one at a time every 2 weeks or so. Ah the future is bright and the end of the universe is the limit! Expect another entry sometime this weekend after my inaugural break in of the camera.
Now...what should I name this bad girl?
