- Canon Rebel T1i
- Tamron 70-300mm zoom lens
- Original Canon backpack
- Holster bag
- Canon grip with 2 extra batteries
- Canon T1i field guide
- ...the entire package even came in a huge coca-cola plastic bag (which I still have!)
I bought a 18-55mm lens later that month for about $135US on Amazon. Later on, I got a tripod from my sister who didn't have much use for it.
I was originally gonna purchase the Canon T3i at the time but was scare that I would't fully commit. I still haven't fully committed to my DSLR in hand *sad face*. I was able to do some photos for a few work functions - but at a very small scale. I even did some pictures for a small fast food place that opened up in the neighborhood. I did manage to have some photos up on my tumblr and my flickr, but they were few. I did go to a PhotoWalk and met a few amateur and professional photographers back in January 2013. But, I must admit - I have been obsessed with taking pictures with my iPhone 5 since I got it Christmas of 2012. The quality so far has been amazing on this lil beauty, and my Instagram account makes it so easy to share, encouraging the act.
A little blast from the past - my first camera was a Sony Cyber Shot ...it actually fell and I purchased another - the updated version of the same. I used it quite often with my first blog 'TriniAngie' (a blogspot I lost unfortunately). I then passed the Cyber Shot to my friend when I got my Canon to encourage me to use my old/new DSLR.

I will like to get back into photography - possibly get into it professionally. I have been caught up with the 'world of work' that I forgot how happy some of my creations made me. I still watch in envy at times of some great shots I see from others, but time to translate it into motivation.
I picked up a few gadgets from Amazon - honestly because I've been thinking about it for so long (...storing items in my Amazon wish list), jus waiting for the right time, or until I really pick up the camera again. I made the order last Sunday (4/20) as I was buying a quick birthday present for a friend, telling myself - self! you're gonna put this into good use! (plus - with the total order I got free shipping). It should arrive this week *excited*
These items are to server as the motivators *fingers crossed*:

As I explore and try to find the best method of learning and understanding, hope you will join in. I hope to do tutorials and share my creations with you.
