Ladies and gentlemen this weekend I'm headed out to a rain forest! This will be my second time visiting one
I've really got to get used to slow ISO speeds and sturdy tripods :\ It's difficult when you're used to just point and shoot. Don't get me wrong, I'm a very patient person, which is precisely why I bought the Sigma lens, but the amount of patience it gets to get your focus perfect, over exposing and not to mention the overall composition of the photo, I mean it's no problem to crop stuff away...but having TOO LITTLE is the part that's bothersome to me :\ Sheeeesh! I guess it all takes a bit of time, effort, and practice!

...And here I thought macro photography would be easy to grasp than normal photography when really, it's MUCH harder!

Also, my male bird has been so happy lately! All he does is sing ALL DAY LONG! I suppose it's because we placed our bird next to the window now, so they can watch and have a little bit of fun, maybe feel a little like real birds.

So my mom will be watching Dr.Phil or something per usual, and Birdie 2 [the boy] will start yappin away "LOOK AT MEEEEEEEEE!!!!"
