Im so insited!!

in loo of my recieving my new camera. i can hardly contain my insides.

i might just pee myself and not be able to sleep. this is better than christmas i promise

anyways i decided to write a little ditty. in...non song form. about the pros about having a dslr you guys probably never even thought about

1. You actually are taken seriosly, and if worse comes to worse its totally a weapon
You dont see pro photographers for magazines and weddings going around taking photos with pissy kodak easyshares. They all use big black cameras. and bigger the camera, apparantly the BETTER. ( which techincally is true, but i wont get into that ) And if you're not using your BIG camera to take pictures, you can always use it to hit people if they diss your mad skilllz. these things could leave pretty nasty bumps im told

2. You can go to concerts or events for free by dressing up as a reporter.
The security probably arent gonna know diddly squat about cameras. They will just think people who hold small cameras are fanboys and girls trying to harrass the band and those who hold big cameras are reporters trying to do their jobs.
Instead of getting chased away by a bunch of angry burly men, you can sneak into the restricted zones and take up-close photos of the celebrities as much as you like. After all, you're just a reporter "doing your job" right? ;)

(Disclaimer: i do not encourage sneaking into concerts. Please ask your mommy before you do so. i will not be held liable for damages, including damages done to your face when you're caught by security)

3. you can now safely take pictures of randoms on the street
probably because they figure they will be featured in a magazine of somesort.
seriosly. think about it, if you were a busker or somebody cool and someone came up to you in the street, asked to take your picture. and they were holding a dinky minolta. You would assume they were some freak and were taking it for some weird fetish site on the internet you dont want to know about? i know i would.
i feel more comortable when it LOOKS like the person knows what they are talking about. and doing.
(warning: there are still weirdos with big cameras out there. a sure sign to tell a creep with a dslr is to check and see if the person is using the "auto" setting. that usually means they dont know how to use the camera, haha )

4. Finally, your subjects are happier if you take pictures of them with an SLR camera.
Last time, if you use a normal camera to shoot them, they would say NO. and cover theyre face in horror
Now, if you use an SLR camera to shoot them, they pose for you! because apparantly dslrs are full of magic pixie dust that makes everyone look like a super model
Such is the power of a dSLR camera.
