Well it was Christmas in February for me as I decided to upgrade my camera equipment. I decided to sell my old Canon EOS 20D camera body and get the new Canon EOS-1D Mark II N. My new Canon arrived on Wednesday and within an hour or so of getting the package at work I received an email from one of the companies that I shoot pics for asking me to cover an event this evening. I spent about 5 hours last night going through all the buttons and menus and making sure I knew my way around the camera so that I didn't show up at the event and not know how to use my camera.
The event was at the home of a lady named Nona Niland who is associated with the People's Community Clinic. Her home was gorgeous with a small pool laid out in the middle of a very large deck that surrounded most of the front of the home. They were holding a thank you event for their donors and I was asked to shoot candids and some posed shots of the guests.
Camera, flash and all worked flawlessly and pictures came out great. I even got to snack on some yummy roast and spinach tucked into a small roll.
When I got home, it was time to open the rest of my photography toys. I also treated myself to a Canon EF 300mm f/2.8 IS USM lens. I rounded out my purchases with a Custom Brackets flash bracket and some other minor accessories. The new camera and lens are gorgeous, I can't wait to get out and snap some pictures.
