How long can we go 'til we're nothing but a pile of bones?

I finally have a new camera.

I got another wedding contract, and it pushed me over the edge. I also bought a new lens, and I'll be buying a second new lens in the next few days, after I kick the fuck out of this flu that is currently beating me down. This is my second day home from work. I got sent home yesterday, and today, I was told not to come in. I have a fever, my voice is almost gone, and my chest feels like a steel-lined safe. Plus, I look awesome. In a big hoodie, sweat pants, and unshowered. Fuck yeah, boys! Bring it.

I need to kick this by next weekend. Frubs has a four day, so we're planning on taking a small trip. If all goes well, I'll have a bunch of amazing pictures to post in a week and a half. Plus, we'll be taking my new car, which should be getting here on Wednesday. Yay! All good things, I just have to wait for them. I hate waiting.

I played around with my camera the other day, the day that I got it. The ISO capabilities on this thing are fucking amazing:

Here's Frubs, with our ridiculous dog. It looks well lit, but really, it was dark. That photo was taken at ISO 10000. And it's insanely clear and perfect. I mean, details-wise. The picture itself is blurry, because I was so excited to be playing around with my camera. I'm actually fairly partial to the picture, if I'm being honest, despite the lack of focus.

This one was taken at 12000. Selective focusing, this time on purpose. Silly doglet sleeping on my bird pillow like a common lazy. But it looks so bright, even though the room is actually quite dark.

My beautiful orchids. This time, I made sure to focus on them, so I could get into Lightroom and zoom in properly, to check out all the details. I can see EVERYTHING. It's amazing. This camera and the lenses are the best investments I've made so far, and I'm saying that as someone who just eliminated car payments from her life for the next five or more years.

I've had no energy to get back out and take more photos. Frubs and I went out a day or two before I got really sick, but we went out too late, and I didn't really feel up to wandering around. I can't wait to kick this, and I REALLY can't wait for my four day adventure next weekend. It's going to be so amazing. I've been waiting to go out and take photos like the ones I'm going to go take for AGES.

Frubs has been amazing at going along with me to knock places off of my Colorado Bucket List. We're starting to work on places outside of Colorado, and that we start next weekend. Bryce Canyon, here I come!! Maybe. As long as I'm not sick. I don't want to stay sick. :(
