A collage and a camera.
That there, would be a collage I edited together, of pictures that Marisa, Cheryl, and I believe Stephanie had taken during Sukkot '08.
Tonight, I was out with my sister and her friend, shopping, and having fun, and I was personally shopping for a certain item.
A camera.
Fortunately, after literally hours upon hours of research on photography, and cameras, everything from aperture and shutter speed, to
batter length and ISO strengths, I landed on my decision being an Olympus SP-570uz. 10mp camera with good quality, and a good aperture size for what I want to do. I already have an external flash that will go on the hotshoe, so that is one less thing I'll need to purchase.
The camera itself is $350, a 2gb xD card is $15 or so, and I'll eventually buy some accessories with it.
I want to buy a CLA-10 ($25) adapter that will allow me to attach other lenses, and I'd like to purchase a TCON-1.7 magnification lens, which is almost a hundred dollars. But the first lens I plan on buying is a DCR-250 Macro lens. The camera already has a 20x zoom, which is incredible for the price, and has a macro, and super macro mode. But you need to be a good 1cm for super macro, and just a slight bit farther back for regular macro. It's pretty hard to get 1cm away from say, a bug, without it being scared away, so I will be buying the lens to be quite a few more inches back, with twice the quality. There is also a few $50 or so HD2 Raynox lenses I'll be looing into. I have always loved photography, but never had a good enough camera to exercise my passion.
I think that about wraps it up for this update on what's going on in my life.
