So apparently, this is going to be a photography blog

I guess since most of what I'm doing right now involves my photography, I'll just make this into a photography blog. That'll probably spur me on and motivate me to get more done, so I guess it works out.

Got my Canon 75-300 yesterday and holy shnikes I love it already. I can tell that some day in the future, I want a longer lens, but for now, this is going to be awesome. Gonna try some test shots this weekend, and then I'm trying to decide if I want to hit the rodeo in town this weekend for some cool pics. Need a flash before I can really do any damage though. It's at night and the last time I tried taking photos at the rodeo, they were crappy. Guess I gotta start looking for a good flash now... and (this is embarassing) learn how to use it. I've only shot with an attached flash once, and that was a disaster!

Still debating on sending it back in and trading for the Sigma. I want a lens hood, and the Sigma comes with that, plus it has a macro setting, and it's the same price as the canon. The hood for the canon is another $30 before shipping, and the canon doesn't have a macro feature. But I don't wanna let it go!! :'( Guess I'll call Monday and talk to them, then either buy the Sigma and have them send it while I return the Canon, that way, they should almost cross in the mail, and I'll only be out a few days. :D

I'm such a dork...
