New Nerd Toys

Photography has long been an interest and hobby of mine. It is also a part of my job. I recently talked my boss into allowing me to upgrade our photography equipment. Just as anyone who has purchased electronics knows, they get outdated really quick in this age of rapid technological development. The camera that was here when I started the job was a 3 megapixels digital camera. A nice camera, no doubt for it's time (about 5 years ago). However, since I started, I've used my own digital cameras - one a Canon PowerShot point and shoot digital camera (7 megapixels) and a Canon G5 - both of which have served me well. Yet, the gap between good pictures and great pictures can only be bridged with freakin' sweet equipment, such as my new nerd toy - the Canon 40D SLR digital camera.


Lucky for me, I'm the only one here in the office that will use it (or even know how to use it) so I will get to play with it all the time. I also got two lenses, one zoom and one wide angle, that each have image stabilizers on them. Needless to say, I'm rather excited. (Please take this time to roll your eyes and mumble a nerd comment.)



And of course, I had to get the LCD screen protector, a memory card, some cleaning equipment, a lense hood and I'm about to go get a sweet carrying bag to tote around all my (I mean Texas Corn's) new camera.

So, expect lots of new images shot with my (sorry, Texas Corn's) new nerd toy.
