fwopah's photo-a-day http://blog.fwopah.com Most recent posts at fwopah's photo-a-day posterous.com Sun, 12 Dec 2010 08:39:00 -0800 Review: LensHero.com http://blog.fwopah.com/review-lensherocom http://blog.fwopah.com/review-lensherocom

I was browsing around a favorite photography blog, and they had mentioned LensHero as a nice resource for photographers (especially for beginners, like myself) to search out for new lenses that fit their need and cost. As I have been looking around for the right next lens for my kit, this site really had my interest. :P

The service asks you for your camera model, your price range, and then you can narrow it down by what type of photos you want to take with the lens. I'm probably going to sell my kit Canon 18-55mm f/3.5-5.6 IS lens, I don't use it anymore and I would like some more flexibility, and I need to keep the budget under $300. So, after using LensHero my next goal is the Canon EF 28-135mm f/3.5-5.6 IS, which is more of what I am looking for, for about $300. Not bad.

Right now LensHero is running a contest, and they're giving away t-shirts and other awesome stuff for those who enter.

Will probably be grabbing a T2i or 7D in the coming months, which means I will most likely be saying goodbye to my XS. It's been a fine fellow, it has.

Went to the International Balloon Fiesta today. It's funny, 'cause this evening, the balloon glow (the ballons all light up at night) was cancelled due to wind, so I get to come back another day with my ticket stub. Oh well.

Tall people are tall?

I'm going to have to ask everyone in the audience to conceal their jealousy of this alarm clock for just a few moments. I grabbed it at a yard sale this morning for $3, figuring that I needed a new alarm clock since my previous one is now in a couple of dozen pieces (I'll save that story for another day).

Img_3029_1

Picked up this Canon 50mm f/1.8 II from a guy on Craigslist for $50. He said he had slight focusing issues on his 30D, but I suspect that it could have been an issue with his body, such as a firmware update or something similar, because I haven't experienced any problems with it yet. I was planning on grabbing one new for about $100, so this is quite the steal.

Here's the first photo I took from it when I was testing it out. I was surprised at it's sharpness, and it's speed at f/1.8. Very happy that I bought it.

Hello fellow interneters. Over the course of the past week, I've been doing some preparations for life (attempting to get a job, getting ready to go to school in the Fall), and I kinda realize that I don't need to have a photo-a-day thing anymore, and that a month was really enough for me to start to gain some experience of my own, so this blog is now turning into just a moderately updated photo-blog. :P

I have a few projects in the works that I will also be posting here (some audio work, some coding, some graphical stuffs, etc). Fun all around, eh?

I don't exactly know why the snail is so blue, but I guess it may be from the bright sky? Eh.
