My Camera

Thank you to everyone who has commented on my photos, much appreciated. Since some people have asked I thought I would let everyone know what equipment I use.

I recently upgraded to a Canon 50D but some of the pictures on BizzieMommy.com were shot with my older Canon XS.

I’m not the most experienced photographer but I LOVE taking pictures and developing my craft. I love candid shots and macro photography.

I purchased my Canon Rebel XS as a package deal on adorama.com in January 2009. It came with the standard 18-55mm lens and a zoom lens 70-300mm. I also have the Tamron 18-200mm lens and a macro extension tube by Canon.

I have recently upgraded to a Canon 50D body and my current lens inventory includes: Canon 50mm 1.8, Sigma 30mm 1.4 and Tamron 28-75 2.8mm.
