Why hello there. I realize its been a few days since I’ve stopped by to share anything new with you. I have however been biding my time until now. The reason? I had waited for the arrival of my new lens. I am now the owner of a 17-55mm 2.8 Canon. Granted, it’s not an L lens and I will not be able to use it when I upgrade my Rebel in the future. However, being that the upgrade is a ways away both financially and in experience, I wanted to step up my walk around lens while at the same time gaining a bit more performance when I take in our local music scene.
Not only have a given Artemis new glass, I have also decided to leave the nest in terms of modes while I’m behind the lens. Last night I ventured out of my comfort zone and switched in to Manual. It was intimidating and it still is. It still isn’t keeping me from making it my mission to learn it. After all, I’m not the kind of person who likes things being done for me, so why would I continue on letting my camera decide my how to expose my shots. I know I’m in for some rough shots for a while, I’m still up for the challenge.
