My new camera!!

 Well today my camera arrived in the mail today and I couldn't be more excited. My friend Marilyn and I have been talking about it and she said she feels like she's more excited about it than me! I think it's true. I've been wanting to get into photography for a little while now, it's something that up until now I did as sort of a minor hobby just using my phones camera.

   I have a few friends who are also into photography, one of which being my friend Marilyn who kind of inspired and encouraged me to pursue it. The camera I purchased is a Canon EOS Rebel XSi / 450 Digital SLR Camera with EF-S IS 18-55 mm lens. I friend of mine recommended it to me when I was first looking for a camera. He said that it was a great camera and would work well even in the hands of a beginner. My friend Marilyn, also reporting good things about it so I'm SUPER EXCITE :) :) :) :) :) :) :) :)

  I found an affordable on on ebay last week and I had the winning bid, my first actually. I've had my ebay account since 2010 but never used it, so it was essentially my first time using but I won the bid so that was really neat. I had a previous bid on another item that same day which I had lost, but my second bid I WON!! So now that I have another camera aside from the one on my phone, I'll be using it unless a super quick photo op pops up and my phone is the quicker option.

   I was considering maybe getting a degree in photography, not entirely sure though for now it's just a hobby I suppose! Although one unfortunate thing, for the type of photography that I normally like to do, there isn't much of that here in the city.
