I used the new camera today.

Jake and I purchased a brand new, Canon 50D on Saturday, half an hour before the wedding we were booked to shoot. (Luckily, the system is pretty similar to the 30D which we own, so Jake figured it out with little effort and the photos turned out magnificently). I hadn't really touched it since we bought it... which is sad, because I love photography.

Anyway, since the sun finally came out today, I decided to take 50 to Terrace park for a short rendezvous, and attempt a few HDR photography sets. I need to give the 50 a nickname. 30 too, now that I think about it.

Let me tell you what, when your camera weighs as much as a small dog, it's hard to hold it perfectly still. I didn't think to bring the tripod. I did attempt to fold myself up with my knees to my chest to rest the camera between them... but that didn't work so well. Very uncomfortable. Who would have thought, right? Haha.

Anyway, you can see the attempts on facebook. CLICK HERE.
