I'm going to flash you

[jrabnberk]

So I got my financial aid check this week in the mail. It was a couple hundred pounds (ie, British £) more than I had budgeted for. So did I do the responsible thing and pay a little extra off on my $800 worth of credit card debt this month? Or put it in my savings account? NO. Because I'm Justin and I love fancy things. That and my newest hobby

lol! i love that you bought a v-day gift for yourself! besides your nice camera and this, what other equipment do you have?! what's in this arsenal?

Well, I bought a 50mm prime lens a few months ago and FREAKIN' LOVE IT. But that was the first addition (ie, now I have 2 lenses). And now I want a proper tripod head (although I technically need a proper tripod, but I have CyArk's for the time being--when they take it back I can replace it, but for now I just need the head). I also really, really want a Macro lens--giving me 3 lenses. However, the good ones that I want are all about $900-1200. *SIGH* :(

good god. that's a lot of money! what's the difference between a $900 (price of rent in my apartment) and a $1200 lens?

I didn't even know they made wireless flashes. That sounds good for low light photograph-and a good way to prank/scare people! I'm imagining hiding the flash in a dark hallway and triggering it when they least suspect it...

Anyways, that is what I would do with it! Teehee.
