Where I'm Going

Well kind of....

This is a repost of an article I wrote first on my Live Journal. I wrote it to publish the idea of the perfect SLR camera kit for me. Talking about how I shoot and the results that I like. I'm republishing it as a way point on the road that I want to travel.

It's firmly my belief that you can't reach a goal unless you have a firm knowledge of where you're going and where you been. You also need a time limit. I sat the time limit for a year. That was back in Febuary of 2006. I failed but I keep shooting and learned alot and things have changed a little bit. Also there is no rule that says you can't try again so here is Fantasy Camera Equipment List

I have a new list of fantasy camera gear that I want. I know it sounds stupid to want strange camera gear but it's kinda like computer gear. The more you learn and the more you have the more you want. I mean no one really wants a PII-350mhz machine as there main piece but it really will do everything you want it to do. You can go online with it you can play games but not the newer ones. It's just slow with windows XP, Linux or FreeBSD or any UNIX it's not to bad with. But... Even my FreeBSD machine is has atleast one 1ghz in this day and age.

Point and shot cameras and SLR bodies.

1 Canon G series Powershot. - The G Series are average zoom optical zoom of 3x but take the canon BP-511 battery and allow for RAW digital photos.

1 Canon 20D Body - This would be my new main camera body cool in camera editing features and built in Filters.

1 Canon A2E Film Body - This would be to learn to shoot with a film SLR.

1 Canon D30 Body - This 3.11 megapixal body would be the standard back up camera and replace my digital rebel in my bag. Since I'll have 2 DSLR's if I don't sell my rebel.

Lenses

1 17-50 F2.8 sigma DG lens - Standard lens for 1.6x crop Digital SLR cameras. Also standard EF mount so it will fit the film body as well and give me some wide angle ability for the film body.

1 sigma 28-70 sigma DG F2.8 Zoom - Standard walk about lens.

1 canon 70-200 F4L - long tom zoom

1 Canon 50 F1.4 - portrait lens

And that's the stuff I want in my camera bags.
