Shot at IS0 3200, can you believe it? And yes, the first photo out of it was the box it came in.

Payment sent, MY camera will be here on Friday.
OMG OMG OMG!!!!
AAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

John just gave me the go-ahead on a lightly used 5D. I think I might crap myself.

Doomhammer server:

Nashu: 40 Tauren Warrior
Colibri: 45 Gnome Warrior
Calypte: 8 Blood Elf Rogue

A new LJ friend did this, and I was feeling the need to moon over some gear too. This is mostly a list of stuff that will be pretty impossible to get unless I’m a big-shit photographer one day.

Canon Rebel XTi, 10mp silver body only $689
10mp is a little more useful to me than the 30D’s 8mp.

Sigma 30mm f/1.4 EX DC HSM $380
I need a low-light lens for small spaces

Canon EF-S 17-55mm F/2.8 IS USM $1000
Image stabilization rocks hardcore.

Big softbox 2-3, $90 each
Eventually i’ll need some studio lighting

2-3 Alien bees, B800 $280 each
The flashes that go in the softboxes

Anyone out there who is high level on alliance side:
Sequiro (lvl 12 nightelf hunter) needs some Stringy Wolf Meat (for cooking), any leather armor suitable to low-ish levels, any bows or daggers suitable to low-ish levels, and bags. Need the bags. Keep having to go back to town because I can’t carry any more stuff. I’ll recompense as much as I can.

My horde character (Nashu, lvl 18 tauren warrior) is doing well, but poor Sequiro is always broke and half-dead. Leather armor doesn’t protect well.

Blixem just came over with a new video card for John. He happened to bring one for me too! Yay! So instead of the Pine XP-2800, I now have a 3D Prophet 4500. Muuuuuuuuch better. World of Warcraft actually runs on my computer now! I don’t have to usurp John’s computer anymore so I can play.

In other news, I shot my first paid wedding this weekend. Kim and Kacy, two lesbian friends of mine, asked me to do the photography for thier wedding on Saturday. I won’t post any until I get permission, but I think they came out rather well. I was supposed to get the formal portraits out of the way before the ceremony. The ceremony was scheduled to begin at 7pm, so I was going to start the formals at 6pm. They had a hellish week (including a death in the family), and were not realy at all until about 7:30. They decided to do the formals after the ceremony, which left me about 30 mintutes of light left to get them done. Not the best conditions, but I can edit a lot in Photoshop. They’re in Key West fo rthe week, but I’ll have the majority of them done by the time they get back. I’ll ask about posting shots on their return.

John and I broke down and finally bought a copy of World of Warcraft! We traded in a bunch of PS2 games we never play anymore and got about 1/2 of the price of the game. Not bad at all. We’re both busy n00bing it out in there. Larken showed up and helped me kill stuff for a while. Blixem also showed up for a bit last night and gave John some bags, but I’m still stuck with the 16 slot default backpack. We’re liking it so far. The game won’t run on my computer because I’ve got a shitty video card, but we’ve only got one account, so neither of us would be able to play at the same time anyway.
Come see us! Just tell me who you are or I won’t answer. It took me 15 mintues to figure out how to talk to Larken last night.
John- Orc Warrior: Varik
Me- Night Elf Hunter: Sequiro
