Appreciate that filter

Back from my trip! We had a wonderful time and I learnt a fair bit about the equipment I have!

1) my tripod's too heavy!
2) the 18-55mm lens is a bit too short for shooting video if you intend to record those performances you are watching.
3) I love my UV filter! Why? Cos it protected my lens from the elements, dust, stains and scratches!

I was cleaning one of my lens one morning and realized the amount of dust and stains on the filter. First thought that came to my mind: thank god it's on the filter! I can replace it easily since it costs me $16 only anyway. But after some rubbing here and there, the filter is as good as new! It pays to have a filter right in front of your lens. I finally understand and am appreciating them after this trip.

Appreciate that filter you have! And if you don't, it's time to consider putting one on!

Way overdue post

Sorry people! Haven't really got the energy to blog these days. Been busy at work and have to keep my daughter company after dinner.

Part 2 of the guide to choosing a DSLR is half written. I'll try to complete it as soon as I can.

My family is going for a short trip soon. Hopefully I can capture some really fantastic shots. I'll definitely post them up if I have them. Til then!
