my new toy!

i have always enjoyed taking photos, but the camera's i have had, have always been your standard "mik & druk" camera's. the last month or so, i have really made an effort to make sure that my camera is with me at all times, no matter where i am going. i want to capture my life as i am experiencing it, capture the smiles on my kids faces!

last week i took the jump and bought myself the canon 600d, WOW, what a difference compared to my old camera. its a 2nd hand one, only a few months old, but came with 2 lenses and carry bag, etc. plus the price was waaaaay better than a brand new one.

after work on friday i stopped off at the beach to start playing around and learning how to use my new toy.

its still extremely foreign to me, lol!
