“I am 17 years old girl from Iceland who owns a Canon 350D and 50mm lens. I haven’t learned from a school or anything, I just try to learn myself only with my camera and boyfriend.
I am dreaming of having the Canon lens, 70 - 200 mm and that will be the next thing I will buy for my camera but I can only afford it after about 2 years, maybe 1 year or even 3 years..
I just bought myself a flash, Speedlight 430ex, and I am really happy about it. I have 2 batteries (planning on having 4 later on), 3 camera bags, the lens that I got with the camera, canon 18-55mm kit and I really don’t like it.. So I really need the 70 - 200! And also I have a tripod, don’t remember the name now so…
I am planning on becoming a photographer and would love to go one day to Africa to take pictures of the wildlife. And maybe go more than just one time.
I would also love to try swimming underwater and take photos.
I am looking forward to get a Crested dog one day (I think after a year) so I will take millions of photos of him.
I wanna thank my lovely bf, Árni Friðrik Sigurðsson for all his help and support and for helping me with my ideas. Many of mine/our photos were shot by him, I usually tell him where to stand, what should be in the photo, checking things like ISO and it is up to him to have me in focus (We usually don’t get many photos just because of that so we try to take really many. But some day he might get it:’) Thank you once again, we are a great team!”
