New Things

I got 2 new lenses for my camera on Friday which was very exciting...slightly overshadowed by the fact that I became deathly ill Friday so I pretty much stayed in bed for 2 days straight. Tonight I'm feeling a little better and at the least my fever is gone...which is good because I'm supposed to play/sing tomorrow and I don't think they have any backups for guitar at this point at Southside.

I've been playing around with my new lenses. One is a "nifty-fifty" and one is a Sigma 50-200. I haven't been able to do much with the Sigma yet as I need a pretty good day outside to use it for the type of things I want to use it for. With the Canon 50mm I've just been playing around with the aperture to see what it does at different settings and distances. I've gotten some interesting pics. I'm trying to think of somewhere to go so I can take pictures of something other than pets and family.
