Letters from the Equator

Dad bought me a lovely Canon 400D body for my birthday recently (Thanks, Pa!).

I’ve been shooting quite randomly – at plates of sushi, ceiling lamps, people, friends. I really like it. It’s a lot more 21st century than the Nikon FM that I loaned from my dad years ago.

I’m still big on wide-angle, and hopefully I’ll get to save up for a nice L lens like the 17-40mm. The current kit lens is pretty good for starters. The colors aren’t so vibrant, and it’s not as quick – meaning I need to take more shots to get a good one.

I haven’t played with the aperture and shutter settings yet. ES and I will be planning a trip to do some outdoorsy shooting soon – together with SY, EK and MVO, hopefully… camera jocks themselves.

I’ll post some piccies when I have time to upload them. Anyone wanna sponsor me a Flickr pro account?
