So, I have been wanting to post but I wanted to finish some pictures I have recently took first so I could include a few, I didn’t get them done yet. But, I still will just make a quick posting about my camera.

First, I love my camera! I have a Canon 5D Mark ii and I absolutely love it. The colors are so vivid and the clarity is just amazing. I had a Canon Rebel xsi before and it did a great job but I am always so pleased with my results with my Mark ii. I know for a fact I do not utilize it to it’s full potential. I must just spend a day and play with every dial and setting it has!

Second, I am editing photographs of a very bitter sweet event that took place. It was a child’s 1st birthday but he passed away at 2 months old. It was great to celebrate the birth of this child but like I said, bitter sweet. I realized that while editing my camera and being able to be behind the lens is what gives me the ability to be in those types of situations. People don’t know this but I am an introvert. (I am not shy, there is a difference.) The ability to interact with others through my view finder and capture those moments has been a very positive outlet for me. It is great for those awkward situations too.

And final, third… it is a power tool for my expression. It doesn’t always come out like I thought it would and sometimes I get super happy accidents but it is like the paintbrush or the pen. I love how it feels and the power I feel it gives me for my creativity.

I love my camera. I love taking photographs. I love the opportunities I have to use my camera and develop my talents with it.
It was one of the best decisions I ever made to buy that camera and pursue photography.
