At the end of my vacation, I have the brilliant idea to play the "Demon's Souls" game. That is what we can call a killer game. Until get the game mechanics, I started considering to throw my PS3 thru the window, due to how difficult it are.
Bad that my vacation are ending and I just photographed half what I wanted. The weather started to get good here, in Brazil. Specially to take macro photos of insects, due to the beginning of the Spring and with it a little warmer days.
I don't promise, but I will try to make at least one weekly diary. The main focus will be my experiences as a photographer and cook, but can extend to some main facts of my personal life (but my goal is not to be annoying).
Have some good and bad things taking a vacation alone (my fiance don't have vacation, she is veterinary and works as autonomous). The first bad thing that we can't go to some beautiful place in a planned trip, but the good thing (for me) is that I have spent some money with photo equipment.
Here comes the upgrades that I have planned for so long.
First I bought a Macro Flash. After a long time reading reviews and learning with the tutorials of John Kimbler (http://dalantech.deviantart.com/ or http://www.nocroppingzone.com) I decided to take the Canon MT-24EX. The first setup is a little tricky, but after setting to your taste are just minor changes on the positioning of the heads before taking pictures.
Then I bought a Fisheye lenses too. After reviewing Canon or Sigma, diagonal or spherical, 8, 10 or 15 milimeters, I have opted for the diagonal Fisheye Canon 15mm f/2.8. Due to the APC sensor of my EOS Rebel XSi, the distortion are not too visible, but as I'm planning to buy an EOS 5D (full frame) in november, that's not a problem.
That's a valuable equipment (specially when the 5D come) and for this I'm making one cabinet humidity proof to keep all this safe.
I think that is all for now. I'll take some pictures of the cabinet progress and as soon I finish I make a DIY post explaining the process.
