After months and months of dreaming, wishing, visualising, saving and budgeting, I was finally able to get my little baby this past Saturday. Finally. It's a Canon Rebel EOS T3i, also known as the Canon D600. I call her... Binti. If you follow me on twitter (@ThisisEss) or instagram (this_is_ess), then you already know all this cos I must have bombarded you with my excitement. I should apologise for that now. Sorry. In all honesty though, I'm the happiest girl in East Africa!! Counting my blessings, click by click.
Needless to say I got a little trigger happy over the weekend. These are some of the pictures that were taken with the camera by either myself or my brother Jeff. A lot of manual reading, inappropriate shots at the most random times and mentorship needs to take place before I can call myself a decent photographer. But I'm excited for the journey!
This is by far the best red velvet chocolate in Sub-Saharan Africa.
By. Far.
And this I exaggerate not.
You just make me want to rush out and get a new camera!!
ReplyDeleteYou should! Do it.
DeleteHow exciting! I am super jealous, I'd love a proper SLR camera. These pictures are great!
ReplyDeleteThanks Jennifer!! I'm going to be putting a lot more pictures on the blog from now on!
Deletefunny question but all the same, please tell me how much it cost?
ReplyDeleteI got someone to send it over from Dubai for KES72,000 and that included a camera bag, tripod and memory card. I've seen the camera alone being sold in stores here for about KES110,000 - crrraaaazzzzyyy.
DeleteAre you looking to invest in a camera?
Just discovered your blog through KurlyKichana & girl I'm hooked! I really like your style & you're gorgeous too :-)
ReplyDeleteI use the Canon Rebel T3/EOS 1100D & I know what you mean about manual reading & stuff! Still feel like I'm yet to use it to its full potential!

Thank you so much :)
DeleteWould you believe I stopped reading my manual? I'm not sure where it is now actually but hopefully it's safely tucked away in my room.. It's a real shame..
Red lips TOTALLY suite you!! You've got such a great sense of style too!
