How to deal with all the photos?
Posted by: | Comments
Well, after coming back from holidays at Merimbula for 10 days I have a collection of a little over 4300 photos to sift through.
As I still had the Canon EOS 1000D with me while I was away on holidays I was able to take lots and lots of photos (and Erin, my girlfriend, took the one of me with the goofy look on my face that you see to the left).
Now I have been taking the time to go through them, one by one, picking out the good ones and deleting the bad ones. There was a little over 14 gigabytes of photos that Erin and I took collectively.
So I guess I am wondering. How does everyone else seem to deal with this conundrum? As I see myself getting into photography very deeply in the near future I find myself pondering the interesting question. Taking photos is one thing, but then how much time does it take to sift through them and find those perfect photos?
Look forward to hearing your thoughts (anyone’s thoughts) on the subject.

Saving for a Canon EOS 50D
Posted by: | Comments
As I will (sadly) be having to give my Canon EOS 1000D back next month, I am now on a mad savings venture to save up for a Canon EOS 50D. I have found my passion for photography and want to go into it head first and see where I end up.
So I have decided that it would be appropriate to have this savings goal metre on the site to show just how close i am to getting my goal.
Granted at the moment I am only at 4.75% of the total cost but after a couple more paychecks I hope to raise that bar up a lot. I will update this as often as I can when I throw some more savings in (it is *unfortunately* not that easy as I have to re-create the image each time). 
So now marks the beginning, it is one month exactly today that I hope to order my camera… can I save the money in time? We will see.
In the mean time however, tell me… What was the last big purchase you saved up for and how did it feel when you finally got your hands on it?
