I have recently purchased my new EF-S55-250mm f/4-5.6 IS
lens! Love it! Very happy with it! It is exactly what I need for doing my landscape photography! As yet I have not tried it out while following Oreo around! Although I have stood down the back yard and shot great shots of Gav n Onjahlika at the back door! And considering how long our yard is... Very happy! Now - If I'm quick enough I might be able to get good shots of the neighbours elusive cat or the remnent of the rabbits that used to live in the neighbours yard! Looking forward to more possibilities as the yard dries out and the weather warms up!! Oh and moon shots... very good... the only thing that let me down there was the ! I cant handle the added weight of the new lens! To solve that I need something a little better than a cheap tripod! But for general use its good!The next lens I need in my "kit" is a macro for doing jewellery photography! I have plenty o jewels to photograph! Already shot some with my EF-S18-55mm
. The photos come out clear and good - but not good enough for doing advertising for jewellery (like what you see in a brochure), But for everything else it is good!O and I brought for myself a spiderpod (aka gorillapod
). My model is the huntsman!! Yay! Very cool little tripod! When Gavy was making the compost surrounds I had the tripod attached to a star picket so that my photos would come out without camera shake! Very versatile! It even holds the added weight of the new lens! Have not yet tried it with any long exposure shots! I will probablhy do that too one day!Trying to start a photography business is daunting but fun! All this stuff I need to learn and ideas... so many ideas of things to try! So much stuff to think about! Business plan... advertising... website... finances... Although I do need someone to purchase my prints!! Therefore - I need customers... anybody willing??
