So seeing as this year is one of those milestone years (I'm turning the big "3" "0" on the last day of March), I've decided to compose a list of things I want that I will indeed use. Oddly enough, they all have something to do with my SLR. ;)
The first is an
Epiphanie camera bag.
I've been pining over these bags for almost a year now since I saw one online last spring. Originally I fell for the Ginger but now am leaning more towards a Lola as turning 30 has me wanting to attempt a lil trendiness before I get too old and wrinkled... ;) Plus as I love to take my camera everywhere but don't want to scream to the random thug on the street that I'm strapping a several hundred dollar SLR, a discrete yet protective bag is key. =)
The second thing I desire is a remote for my camera. This way I can start perfecting self and staged portraits. An added bonus is that when the hubs and I play with sparklers outside, we don't have to take a dozen photos where half are me running back as it shoots of 10 in a row.
And the last thing I want (that I'm more likely to save up for than to expect as a gift) is a fisheye lens called the
Scout from lensbaby. I love that their lenses are affordable and the bodies can be used with different lens inserts or the funky
aperture kit. Plus eventually I'll get around to getting one of their bundles that comes with a swivel lens.
So what are all of you hoping to save up for in celebration of a milestone birthday?
