A camera, The Cold, and Chabad Lubavitch.
Well, I finally purchased a camera. Ended up being a Nikon D50, with the kit 18-55mm lens.
In purchasing this, I also bought a car/AC charger for it, and a three piece filter set (UV, Circular Polarizer, and a Soft Focus filter). I actually hadn't planned on winning the bid, as there were almost 40 other people bidding at the same time I was, but I waited until the last ten seconds, and swiped it from them.
Let's just hope that my purchase is without defect, as there is no return policy ;).
I am excited about getting this camera now, because I'll be going to IN close to thanksgiving, and hopefully be in Chicago around that time as well, so plenty of picture opportunities. I think it would be pretty awesome to get some HDR photos of buildings in Chicago. Another plus of having this camera, is because I have an item I want to sell on ebay, (An HP iPaq H4355), and I can't very well do that without taking pictures of it ;).
I suppose I could, but it is likely my bid wouldn't go very far.
So if I sell that, I could probably afford a nicer Nikkor lens, 55-200mm or maybe higher.
I would just like everything to work out, which it rarely does.
On another note, for this Shabbat, I'll be heading over to Chabad Lubavitch with Aharon, to meet up with a friend there. That should be fun, as I love Chabad, but seldom every get to go due to no wheels.
But that should change soon as well, I am shooting for some time in 6 months for a vehicle. With all my purchasing of electronic items however, that may not be as clear cut as I would like. But that's alright too, it should teach me patience.
I would say that this week has been a fairly productive, and exciting, as well as stressful one.
Finding and researching cameras took up many of my late nights, and early mornings, waking up comparing the aperture size to kit lenses on cameras, and spouting off shutter speed numbers, I started to get a little tired of dealing with all of this stuff. But hopefully, (again) everything will work out for the best.
Well, that should just about sum up my week, it's getting prettu mundane again, so my future blog posts probably won't be as colorful.
