Working with what you have.

I was called into a small photo shoot session today. Right before the session started, someone suggested that “behind the scene” video would be a great idea. Unfortunately no one brought a real video cameras other than their phones and point-and-shoot cameras. Well, if no one counted the Digital SLR’s.

I ended up using my Canon EOS 60D to shoot the video while someone else took the pictures.

You have to work with what you have.

One Windy Night

What a weather we’re having in Southern California. The trees are swaying and dancing to the howling wind.

It was much worse at times compared to what I captured on the video.

My New Gear: Canon EOS 60D

I have been wanting to get a new DSLR Camera for a few months now. I have Canon gears so I was looking into getting Canon EOS 7D late last year. During one of the trip, I stopped by Idaho Camera at Boise Towne Square Mall and tried out a few cameras. One of them was Canon EOS 60D and I really like the swivel screen.

I ordered the Canon EOS 60D on Monday from Amazon.com with one-day shipping; I have Amazon Prime Membership. The camera arrived Tuesday Afternoon as promised. I immediately opened the packaging and charged the battery. Unfortunately I already had a commitment or Tuesday evening that I didn’t have a chance to play with the camera.

Wednesday comes and I took a few pictures with the camera, I still have to learn the controls. In the meantime, I’m still using the Canon EOS 500D/Digital Rebel T1i as my main camera.

I am going to take a week or two to learn using the EOS 60D before using it as my main camera.

What’s next?
I know I need a new flash unit to go with the 60D.
