Yay! this is the time – the time when you know that this hobby is it! when you first started lots of equipment fill your mind, what to know, to get, to do? and all these cost you big bucks – yup big ‘Sing’ dollar for me that is! Fortunately it wasn’t that costly spend by me because i read the reviews, make the plan and look for cost effective buying…lolz second hand stuff – used, throw aways…

Don’t throw yourself into the pit of buying just because it: complement or its ‘all-rounder’ equipment - i look for what fits me, my style, my requirements. But still remember you do fall down once awhile, wrong stuff, dont fit, better model…etc ok i guess we all learn one way or another and mine is that…yeah!

So my hobby or rather hobbies: photography & videography (I’m still a novice) now i am sure for sure this is it – foreverrrr! well..emmh till i can’t carry my equipment(going pass big 50) i know now what style i like to do and that gives me the equipment required to do the job – not this or that or lets try but the exact equipment…at last!

Photography: people faces, landscape, wild life, action, art

videography: people journal, wild life

Right, remembering that the above digital works require processing: PP & editing and this softwares require solid hardware…well solid so as you won’t need to upgrade and you want smooth work flow – yeah thats what you want believe me!

photography: there are lots of used equipment out there sometimes newly used, now thats a plus! The canon 1DMK III + 5DMK II: its really exciting finding out what i can do with the 5d2: reason to go FF! and its got HD video w..i..t…h the new firmware 24p & 25p coming out early next year. This camera, thought i dont have it yet the reviews are stuning! HD videos i particularly like ‘Philip Bloom’ go thru his reviews on everything :  ,  and of course the

The 1d3 gives me the speed i need and it is a… camera!

when i’m out in the forest shooting i consentrate too much on my subjects and i need camera that can handle me…lots of bruises but still going strong…yeah..hip hip 1d3! what about the 5d2 you’ll ask…mmm well  or  the fella: i’ve got to make it into a ‘hardcore wear & tear’ body..lolz!

To be continue…Pt II coming soon
