The holidays are fast approaching and I must say that I’m really looking forward to them. For me, this probably means the end of my time in Thailand, as I am planning a return to Canada during the summer to prepare for school in the fall (providing I get accepted – check with me in April). I thus decided that it was time for me to invest in a proper camera. My small Nikon digital camera hasn’t been working for ages, which is why my photos never turn out (and the ones that do have been stolen from friends).
So, thanks to my parents, my grandpa Les, and my aunt Louise, I’ve purchased a Canon SLR 1000D. It’s the most basic Canon SLR but I really think it will do just right for my purposes. I don’t have much SLR experience, and I’ve never owned one, so I’m looking forward to getting to know this camera. I’ve been practicing a little bit by shooting photos of my cats, but by next weekend (a long weekend, so I will go on a holiday) I am hoping to have things more or less down pat. My hope is that this camera inspires me to take more photos so that I can really document my last few months here. It’s good news for me AND my blog readers, who will hopefully benefit from more and better photos of my travels.
Expect great blog entries to come once the mid-March holidays arrive. Should be traveling North to Pai and Chiang Mai, South to the island of Koh Lipe, and perhaps further south to Singapore or Bali. Who knows? South East Asia is mine to explore!
