denk ich auch an dich ganz allein
lad ich euch hiermit alle ein
zu brennen, will allein nicht sein
kommt wir woll'n zum himmel schrei'n

There once was this girl
I liked her.
I Like liked her.
But I thought she thought I was a douchebag.
So I tried to save myself from the embarrassment of telling her what I felt.
I still don't know what she would have said if I had had the courage to tell her what I felt.

Life is good.

Summer is arriving outside, still battling spring occasionally. It's that time of the year when the boys get bold and every girl in town looks pretty.

Life is bad.

Being indecisive sucks. Exams are nearly through and I just don't know what to do with my life.

Life is just as usual.

Little losses and little gains, petty thoughts and petty deeds. And somewhere inbetween, we are sitting and thinking we are the center of the universe.

Life is funny, isn't it?

It's not always easy, entering a new year.
Specially if it's accompanied (more or less) by grave changes.

But the world's still spinning, and I'll see what's coming up this year. A lot of photography I hope *hehe*

Perhaps the BG E3...

By the way, why do I get a deviation like Amor's Notch moved to scraps from "Pinup"? Sometimes I wonder if DA's admins don't have better things to do... I thought it fitting enough in there, I would put this one up my wall *hehe*

Anyways, I'm signing off right now, have a lot o work to do that I should have done about half a year ago, so I'll see you!

Have a happy 2008!

Best regards

Well well.
The greatest news so far: I GOT MY 400D!
It definitely kicks some ass, but I'm bound to despair someday with what to buy.
To zoom, or not to zoom,
to focus close, or not to.
That is a damn TOUGH question.

Anyway, since I am just sitting around at school with abolutely NOTHING to do other than wishing my girflfriend good luck for her exam, why don't I ask you guys?

So far I am equipped with the standard kit lens (18-55) and an EF 35-135 USM 4-5.6. It's pretty old, and it has a LOUSY minimum focus distance, but it's Canon, and the AF is damn fast.
But I'd require a bit more zoom, just as I qould love to get into Macro business.
The thing is just, as usual. Money. Does. Not. Grow. On. Trees. Period.

Right, so now about my question. I spotted a Tamron 55-200 LD DiII wiht a Maximum ratio of 1:3.5. What I don't like about it is that is has a plastic mount, and the AF is rather slow.
Plus, it doesn't add THAT much of zoom to what I've already got, though it was definitely fun when I tried it out.
There also is a 70-300 from Tamron with a Maximum Ratio of 1:2. Metal mount for all I know. AF just the same.

The thing is. Would you recommend exchanging the Canon, or buyingt one of the Tamrons, or save up to something more high quality?


Oh and by the way, congrats if you made it this far. I appreciate the time you took
Now it'd be SO kind if you could help me...
