I am going to go and pick it up - I mean I really do need it for my course next week, I think I would look a bit stupid rocking up to a photography course without a camera..... and as I don't envisage doing a hell of a lot of flash photography then I will just wait until after I complete the course to get it fixed.
I have another flash I can use with it if I get really desperate..... which let's face it is the story of my life LOL

Missing my camera
Sad I know, but true.... honestly every day that goes by I see at least 10 perfect opportunities for shots but alas - with no camera it makes it very difficult!
I actually resorted to my old digital but the batteries went flat :(
OMG I really need my camera back (and I hope it's nothing too serious.....)

Courses and Cash
Finally booked in to do the Complete Digital SLR course!! I am doing it with Jodes (lovely girly you are!) so we have a standing dinner date for the 7 weeks on a Tuesday.
On a sad note though, my camera is broken. Okay, okay, admittedly when I put my $2000 camera on the arm of the couch and Damo says "don't leave that there it will fall" and I ignore him, of course it is going to fall. Which it did. Right into the toy box. Then the flash stopped working. Which is okay if I am using natural light which is my newfound love, but indoors it is a bit crappy. Especially if one of the kidlets is doing something kinda cute and I just want to take a few happy snaps. So off to the camera shop we toodle - and $60 later (that's just for them to look at it!) my sexy beautiful camera is sent off to be looked at.
I do hope I get it back in time for my course....... they said it may take 2-4 weeks.
btw I have a Nikon D80 which I love! I also have two lenses (a small one and a big one - I won't go into technical detail as I find it quite boring), as well as a tripod. I also have 4gb of memory which means I can happily take photos and it is quite common for me to take over 300 photos in a session! I love Nikon cameras, probably because my first ever digital camera was a little Nikon, then we bought a Canon which was okay but it took me forever to remember how the bloody thing worked! and I couldn't get my head around the functions menu.... stupid I know but when we had a chance to upgrade I immediately wanted a Nikon - I find it lighter than the others but it is all personal preference of course! I love all cameras that take photos!
Which mine doesn't at the moment *sob sob* :(
I do hope I get that call soon to go and pick it up........
Once I figure out how to load some photos up onto here (I don't get much spare time - except when I am at work LOL) I will be back.
