Canon EOS 40D 10.1-Megapixel Digital SLR Camera

On Saturday I bought a new Canon EOS 40D 10.1-Megapixel Digital SLR Camera and a Canon Telephoto Zoom Lens f/4.0-f/32 (EF 70-300mm). The camera and the lens, plus the service plan, cost about $2,100. Best Buy gave me a great deal! And that's the most money I've ever spent...

I bought the camera as a birthday gift for myself. My birthday is on Sunday (April 27th) so I am not opening it until then. Well, I think I'm actually going to open it on Saturday because I'm so anxious to start playing around with it!

I know I'm not the best photographer, but I feel like this camera is going to take me to new places and give me more opportunities to show my true talent. Hopefully I can figure out how to use it over the weekend and start shooting!

I wish I had more time to go out and take pictures, and that I knew of more interesting places around my area. Anyone know of any cool spots in southwestern CT that they're willing to share? Waterfalls, abandoned buildings,...anything? =D

Thanks!
-Kate

Hey!
Thanks for the fav and watch!
I know of a handful of waterfalls around Redding, Easton, Newtown, Trumbull, and Fairfield. My boyfriend and I are always looking for new places to take pictures. He brought me up to Kent Falls last spring and I loved it! I wish I lived closer...I would go up there every weekend! The waterfalls around here are pretty small so it was nice to be able to photograph something different for a change. What's Brewster like?

The only place in NY I've been recently is to the city. I wish I had more time to explore CT as well as other surrounding states. I also wish it was summer.

My boyfriend doesn't have a DA account unfortunately. He takes better photos than I do, in my opinion. He's a graphic designer so he really knows his stuff.
