Orange on orbit

I’ve decided to take photography as my new hobby and passion. I don’t mean those crappy compact digital cameras, I’m talking about the serious stuff, digital SLR (single-lens reflex) cameras. Ofcourse, it’ll have to wait until I get a job, which is atleast another decade or so :(. I guess it’s kind of natural for web/graphic designer to have passion for photography. Obviously because their work pretty much invloved in manipulation of images and visual elements, what’s better than editing your own image right? I’d really like to use one of these to capture the urban beauties of Tokyo - especially akihabara and shibuya. Also the beauty of people who live there, there should be plenty of moe cosplay in the streets of akiba.

 

   

Anyway, the camera I’m planning to get is either Canon EOS 30D or Canon EOS 350D/Kiss Digital N. Both are well over RM3000. For a form 4 student that costs an arm, a leg and a kidney. The 30D features: 8.2 megapixel, 2.5" LCD display, simultanous RAW and JPEG recording, 5 fps and 30 large JPEG frame burst, etc etc. I also might consider getting additional lenses and a tripod. Daydreaming?
