The new camera...

Oh my, oh my. I bought a used Canon 300D (also known as the Digital Rebel XT and the Kiss Digital) from Fujiya in Nakano. It came with a Canon 18 - 55mm lens, but I also bought a beautiful 75 - 300 mm zoom with the savings from buying second hand. Delicious. I am in love. Haven't had a lot of time to shoot yet, it's been a crazy week, but things are slowing down for a few weeks now so there'll be plenty of time to push that mighty learning curve. These were from the first days shooting, before I worked out the white balance scenario, so they aren't great. But I'm pretty happy regardless.
