Waiting for inspiration…
January 9, 2010For anyone thats interested, I guess the re-hash of this blog is a bit of a trial. I’ve always wanted to blog regularly, with the idea that it would be a project I could gradually build upon. I think using wordpress.com is a good option. It allows some customisation without costing a load in terms of money and time. Hopefully, if I remain committed, I’ll be able to move the blog to my own site to give me some more control, but let’s not put the cart before the horse…
I guess the main reason the new version of the blog has gotten off to a slow start is due to the fact I’m still waiting for a new toy to arrive. I have a brand new Lumix DMC-GF1 on order with the local camera chain here in Canberra.
I’ve ordered the two available lenses, the 20mm prime (pictured above) and the 14-45 mm zoom. This will be the first interchangeable lens camera I’ll have owned. My current camera is a Leica compact (essentially a re-badged Lumix compact), which has served me well, but I’ve pretty much reached the limits of its capabilities.
I was so excited to discover the Lumix GF1. The first well executed micro four-thirds camera. I am really attracted to the idea of a small form camera, with the advantages of changeable lenses that you get with SLRs.
Waiting for my order to arrive, I’ve been reading up on reviews and picture/video samples. I can’t wait for it to arrive. When it does, I’ll share my creations through this blog. I’m already planning projects to do so that I can give the camera a good test.
Oh wells… more updates soon.
