So Obsessed With My New Camera
OMG. I don’t know why I waited until now to invest in a great camera. I suppose it’s been a slow build. a few years back I got a semi-decent point and shoot (the Canon G9X, link to Amazon). I used it for photos on trips to France & Disneyland. It did make a big difference in quality, particularly when compared to older generation iPhones.
But once I got hamsters, my needs changed. I needed a camera to capture those tiny moments. A tongue in midair, enjoying a morsel of banana chip. A leap off of a wheel while it still spins. A curious sniff of a new item. I so desperately wanted to capture the feelings I felt when I interact with my hamster everyday.
So I splurged an purchased a Canon 5D Mark III along with a 50 mm f/1.4 lens from KEH… and what a difference it has made!
This lot of photos I took on aperture-priority, but I am now playing with manual settings to get a faster shutter speed. More to come!
Do you have a fancy camera you use for your hamsters or otherwise?
