I just bought a Canon EOS 6D (WG) with a Canon EF 24-105 f4L IS USM Lens. Until now most of the pictures on my website have been shot with my Canon EOS 30D and Sigma 17-70mm F2.8-4.5 Macro Lens (Sailboat at Sunset in Key West was shot with an ex-girlfriend’s Canon PowerShot).
I fell in love with this pair almost 7 years ago when I took them on a magically romantic trip to France with my then fiancée, Katrina. The sharp detail and brilliant colors brought Paris and Nice to life. As amazing a combination as they were, I had to admit recently, that time had caught up with my 30D. The advances in ISO capability alone warranted an upgrade (let alone the myriad other technological advancements). And, it was also time to expand my creativity into range of full frame camera. Check back as I try out my new 6D; discuss its features and how I like them.
I bought the 6D to prepare for a global trek that my wife (Katrina), our cat (Cupid) and I are planning to start in a couple of months. We are empty nesters; my son (Peter) is a junior at my alma mater, Penn State. Right now Katrina and I are in the process of selling most of our belongings and trying to rent our house in Northern New Jersey (we tried selling, but the market just hasn’t come back enough). We are still considering our initial destinations, but the plan is to shed our belongings and become citizens of the world. I will be photographing our journey and we will be chronically it here on my website and on Katrina’s website at www.whatshe8.com.
We know that travelling with a cat in tow will be challenging, so check back and see how we fare.
