In with the new! Spring Equinox is just around the corner, it’s a new year with new possibilities and I…dear reader…have finally gotten a new camera. I know, I know…”it’s not the camera, blah blah blah”…but I wanted an upgrade anyway! I’m now shooting with a full frame Canon 5D Mark II and I.love.this.camera.
The color!
The clarity!
The ISO!! (Taken @ ISO1000, hand-held)
It’s amazing what a new toy will do to breathe life into you after a long, cold, gray winter indoors. To further my new gear glee, I took friend and fellow ‘tog Sara Patton up on purchasing her Canon 50mm 1.4 lens to upgrade from the cheaper (but excellent) 50mm 1.8. This lens is slow as a beast to focus but otherwise, LOVE LOVE LOVE!
I’m super excited to use them at our upcoming wedding with Julie & John, next weekend in Salem, MA at The Lyceum. Historic salem, new gear and retro/jazz themed wedding? My gig is pretty sweet.
While we grow impatient waiting for Spring, my family and I have been snatching any opportunity to get out and about. We took Zoe to the RI Spring Flower Show to start teaching her how to use my Canon 20D Mary-Margaret was kind enough to give us.
We took Aiden to Newport Creamery for lunch and ice cream…
I’ve taken a LOT of pictures of Aiden. He mostly tolerates it.
I’ve been tugging along the camera to try and get mentally prepared for my fourth? fifth? attempt at a 365 project. I plan to start on the Spring Equinox and Jameswill be starting along with me! We’ve vowed to keep each other on track!
One of my Spring Equinox Resolutions is to blog more on here. I get caught up in Altared Visions work and forget to blog for myself as well!
