Bad News

Had a minor set back today.  So I take the day off do wait for my new camera (required a signature) among other things.  The camera gets here about 1:30 pm/ct.  I'm all excited, start opening up boxes... reading manuals... start taking a few pictures and then suddenly it all goes down hill.  The camera, a brand new canon 40D starts failing with an "error 99" code.  After doing some research I find out that this is a general "catch all" error and go through a number of things to try and troubleshoot.  After all is said and done it seems to be an issue with the camera/lens connections.  So back the camera goes, I'm currently waiting for the RMA in an email to send the camera back and have a replacement shipped.  I manage to snap a few pictures of Makyznie, I'll try to get them posted soon.  So the fun is over until the (next) new camera arrives.

Let the Fun Begin

First off I would like to say "Welcome"

I created this site so that I would have a journal to make notes in and post photos that I capture along the way.  I have wanted to get into photography for a few year but never had the money really to do so.  Right now I have my new camera on order and it should be here late this week.  The plan right now is to make my first project one to personalize this site... change the photo in the header to one of my own.

I am also in the process of trying to find a good beginners book for photography just to have a refercne on the subject.  I have been reading a few different forums here and there and soon I hope to actually be able to take part in them.  Wish me luck.
