  I read this as nude photography. I'm very disappointed.

  It was a bit on the expensive side, because I bought it as soon as it was released ($700 for camera + basic zoom lens). I expect they'll drop the price down to $600 later. But photography in general is pretty expensive, because high grade lenses cost quite a bit--some more than the camera itself.

  
  That's actually towards the low end for photography, lol. For comparison, the set I have determined to buy after countles hours of research and price-cutting costs no less than 4198.88€. Of course that includes a stativ, bag, several prime lenses etc., but flashes, hoods, editing software and filters are still missing from that list. The cam I want to have is about a quarter of that, used. I guess I wouldn't really need that exact camera, but I'm not willing to put the same ammount of work in yet again just to save about 500€ overall or so by getting a different cam and lenses. I'd rather save two more months.
  Of coure, thinking about it, a lot of that price tag is my insane wish to shoot all kinds of stuff, which means I need lots of different stuff, so I'm actually kind of a special case.

  Omg for some reason the second picture of that duck made me laugh. I have no idea why I just love it.

  
  Because it's so fat and it looks like it's hovering. :D It doesn't even look like something that could fly. XD

  Here's a couple from when I went to Parliament Hill in Ottawa:

  Parliament Hill, where Canada's government is housed, basically.
  Not really sure if this one was upload-worthy due to the lighting, but whatever, I still like the composition. x3

  Library of Parliament. I love the Neo-gothic architecture style!

  This is probably my favourite shot so far.
  No photoshopping or anything, either. The light was amazing. x3

  You actually don't need to buy a camera as expensive as mine to get into photography, I only got that because I'm picky about technology. lol And even my E-PL5 is down to $500 now.

  I know that feeling. That is why my camera body is 1200€ used and the lenses range from 350€ to 1600€ in price. Obviously I'm not going to get it all at once, I was just in a market research fever and did it all at once.
  
  This way I won't need to upgrade down the road and have excellent quality even for slightly bigger prints and low light situations and all those other perks of high-grade DSLRs. And it's a nice saving exercise, something I believe I desperately need. But still...

  Oh yeah... I had a photography thread. I should update this some time. For now, here's a random picture I took on Canada Day, showing a view from Toronto's financial district:

  The quality isn't perfect, as it was shot at night (obviously) and without a tripod! But I still like the feel, so meh. :3
  
  Will post more tomorrow or something. xd

  No bunnies here; perhaps you should be a model. ;D But here's a squirrel... it's close enough.

  Squirrels are evil. While I was trying to get a shot, there were squirrels up in the tree throwing nuts at me.

  More Toronto for you!
  Anyone notice what the crazy people are doing up there? xP
  
  Also... I can't believe I forgot to post these. <_< But I went to a Gay Pride parade. I'm not even gay, but the curiosity got me. It was quite amusing for the most part... minus some weird stuff that came later and I wished didn't.

  Too bad her mom (?) didn't get into the frame. I was pretty much shooting blind.

  Delivered late, perhaps. But these are legit bunnies from Japan's bunny island (Okunoshima).
