I’m about to drop 900.00 on a camera kit. The body and 6 lenses among other things.
Somebody hold me, this is scary. But I need the fucking thing. I need a new camera, one that can accurately capture color and the Canon XS I’m probably going to buy seems to be highly rated when it comes to color. I’ve also wanted a digital SLR forever and need to be able to take good, high res shots for texture work and other digital applications. Or at least that’s how I’m justifying buying more camera than I need. It’s a good deal too, a damn good deal.
Business is booming, which means I’ve been too fucking busy to get this shit back up and running. Which means I’m likely talking to myself. I’ve pulled my ads to give me a little breathing room and time to build up stock before I send out my postcards. I have 60% of them addressed and ready to be taken to the post office, 40 to go…part of me hopes and expects a really good response, my stitch markers aren’t popular for nothing, the other part of me is terrified of getting too much business, getting overwhelmed and having to fake my internet death (you knitters know what I mean).
In other news I found out we have a rewards program on our credit cards. I had no idea, but now have an Amazon gift certificate heading my way. Maybe I’ll use it to buy a book on digital SLRs.
I bought the Canon EOS Rebel XS/1000D Digital Field Guide (here’s a link: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/0470409509/ref=ox_ya_oh_product ) I love it. It’s got a great section on color, and how to use the custom white balance.
Kick ass, it’s in the cart now. Oh, and I also took a cheaper package, 800.00 and 5 lenses, still a great deal, I think. Now to wait forfuckingever for it to get here.
