Trying out my new camera - Noid Phal type Den
Yesterday I finally bought a DSLR camera, something I've been really really wanting for the last few years. I got a Canon EOS 600D (Rebel T3i in the USA), and in the 24 hours I've had it, I've had a lot of fun! Since I don't have anything in bloom at the moment, I figured I needed to buy another orchid. What's 5 bucks after already spending so much on the camera? 
So I got this cute little Den, I like the bit of splash it has!
Hopefully I'll be able to buy a nice macro lens within a year or so, but for now I've ordered extension tubes to use with the 50mm f1.8 lens that I also ordered. That way that lens can do double duty for a while.

Stunning work, Camille, and a beautiful Dendrobium, too. Congratulations on the new camera, but be careful. Photography can be as addicting as orchids.

Thanks guys!
Ron- I think I've already discovered that photography is just as addictive as orchids! I couldn't put down the camera yesterday, lost track of time and ended up having dinner at 10:30pm!
Silken- You remember well, now I can take photos large enough for the calendar contest! Now I just need to get some good shots before next summer.
