Okay, so a few of you asked about what camera I bought. After lots of looking and asking around I went with the Canon 60D with a 50mm 1.4 lens.
I was using the Lumix GF1 which is a great little hybrid that I never really learnt to use properly. This time though, I'm heading off to one of Tim's highly acclaimed courses to ensure that I can get the most out of the Canon.
ohhh too exciting! I have always admired your perspective when you take photos. can't wait to see what you come up with after the course with Tim.
ReplyDeleteNice work Em, this Tim fella is a talented speciman isn't he. I've trauled through his blog & love the honesty and sensitvity to life/images/love etc...Savvy how he's connected up with you sydney (famous) lady bloggers to kickstart his photography career. Have fun on his course, im jealous! x
ReplyDeleteHow fun! I cannot wait to see all the wonderful photos I am sure you will be taking with it!
ReplyDeletethat 50mm is ace. i love mine, always have it on the camera. grab yourself a filter though, i've been through two already ;) and have fun!
ReplyDeleteI love that 50mm. I ended up selling my 50 1.2 because I loved the 1.4 just as much. Enjoy learning - it's a beautiful thing x
ReplyDeleteTim is one to learn from. He has come so far in two years that it is almost hard to believe it's real! He seems like a nice guy, to boot, too.
I have the 60D and 50mm as well and they ROCK - you'll love them!
ReplyDeleteOh do share your photography tips. I'm reading Rachel Devine's Beyond Snapshots book, it's awesome & i'm learning so much already, even after having a Nikon D70S for 8+ years. We just took it to Dubbo Zoo with the big (penis) lens & wow, the images are incredible. Enjoy the camera, love Posie
ReplyDeleteI got my new toy just a few months ago and I just loooove it. It is so much fun and you've got yourself a really lovely lens there, you are just going to have a ball using it. Enjoy the course I hope to do one too if he comes up to Brisbane:) x
ReplyDeleteOh you are gonna love the 50mm! Its awesome! Can't wait to see your images.
ReplyDeleteahh that is exactly what I want! happy photography-ing =)
ReplyDeleteWhoa nice! I can't wait to see the pictures soon to come!

ReplyDeleteI am SO jealous that you are booked in to The Nursery. By the time I thought 'I want to do it!', I had missed my chance. Maybe next time (but wouldn't it have been fun to do it together!). Enjoy it all. x
How exciting. Looking forward to hearing all about Tim's course. Im x
ReplyDeleteI am SO JEALOUS! I have been dying for a 50mm. I can't wait to see your photos =)

Wow Em, I am doing the course early August! Hope to see you there. Awesome Camera, how on earth did you decide! This is my dilemna! Well truth is my dilemna at the presentbis if I am ever going to feel better!
ReplyDeleteI keep trying to comment on your posts and my dodgy Malaysian internet connection keeps dropping out...it is incredibly frustrating!
ReplyDeleteAnyhoo, what I was trying to say, is that you are gonna rock that thing! Totally looking forward to seeing what you produce post-workshop! Tim is awesome :)
Hi Em, I can't wait to see your pics either, i use the 50 1.4 as well and i adore it, i sometimes shift (briefly) to another lens but keep scurrying back to this one. enjoy.
ReplyDeleteNew toys are fun especially new cameras. I can't wait to see all the pictures you took with it.
