Time for a new hobby...

Yes that's right. I got fat... and I blame it on the KA. Well, that and my inability to exercise my willpower. So anyway I have put cooking and baking on the back burner for now (still doing it, just not overload like I was doing!) and I am going to start into the world of photography.

I had the most exciting Ebay experience ever on Sunday night. I was watching my auction to make sure I didn't get outbid, and sure enough, with 1 minute and 13 seconds left, some !@#$ outbid me! Well, my competitive nature sure wasn't going to let them get away with it, so I upped my max bid and I won at the very last second.



I am the proud new owner of a Canon Rebel XTi, with a silver body. Included in the auction was:

Canon Lens EF 28-90mm 1:4-5.6 - Standard Zoom Lens

Canon UltraSonic Lens EF 90-300 1:4-5.6 - Telephoto Lens

Digital Visions of Japan, 58mm 0.5x "fisheye wide-angle" digital lens with macro

4GB Compact Flash (XS) memory card

Three (3!) long-lasting lithium batteries and recharger

Camera bag

Three additional protective pouches

Two (2) lens filters - one is a nice SunPak circular polarizer 58mm. The other is a standard clear filter to protect your lens.

I love a bargain.

I am so happy to have won this auction for many reasons...mainly because I really wanted to do stuff with telephoto and macro lenses. I also can't wait to try out the fish eye aspect as my wedding photographer uses those lenses and his work is incredible.

Here are some photos I took with hubby's Canon Powershot SD630 Digital Elph point and shoot camera.
