I'm so happy to have my Canon SX1 IS, and I've even managed to pay it off already. I feel like my skill level has already improved with the handful of Southern Charms sets and random photo taking I've done with it. I feel really creative with my porn, and I'm not worried about running out of set ideas any time soon. My Canon captures light wonderfully, and it's a great fit with my tripod. I know it'll work hard for me, and I hope to keep doing it justice. I'm completely in love with the sets Skin and Shoot Me. Skin has beautiful lighting, and I love the camera angle. I was able to keep it stationary while I changed my position, and I don't feel like that negatively affected the set at all. Shoot Me was wonderfully creative, and it gave me a new perspective on my relationship with my camera. I'm looking forward to more unique, photographic experiences.
Aside from porn, I also chose this particular model because the telescoping lens is great for birding. I got some really amazing shots in Carlotta, and I'm already able to identify the six species I saw. I'd like to make a bird album with 100 local species and slowly fill it up. This will be a fun project for after FC. I'm also really looking forward to becoming active in the Audubon society. Here are a couple of my favorite shots. They are a turkey vulture, a black phoebe, and two starlings.
