Tools of the trade

I’m slowly learning how this blog thing works. I know, there are many tweeks I can make on the blog,  but right now I’m concentrating on content.

Content means good pictures, which means good equipment.  Let’s start with the camera.

I have a small Canon, I have an iphone. I had a nice large camera that was so old (9 years) it only took a 2GB card. So before our trip to Peru I did a lot of online research and bought this camera. I’m not quite ready for changing lenses, I didn’t want a simple point and shoot. This one came recommended as a very good high end one lens camera. I’m still learning the ropes. One thing that was very important was a remote control, I want to get pictures of myself in my me-made clothes. So yeah, sometimes you’ll notice that little clicker in my hand. Give me time, I’ll get better at hiding it.

Next, background, I know they often distract from the object. I need a simple white box so off to Michael’s I went and came home with this.
