New lens!
Reffering to my previous journal entry: I finally made up my mind about the zoom lens I wanted to buy. Yesterday I went back, asked for another K10D body with the right software installed, and tried both lenses, the Sigma on the other body and the Tamron on my own. This way I could finally compare the two and I planned to buy the Tamron if I'd chose that one, or otherwise send my camera to Pentax after my holidays and then buy the Sigma.
Although I liked the AF on the Sigma better (silent and faster than Tamron) that lens was too big for me to hold. I have such small hands, really hate it most of the time! :(
While holding a camera with the Sigma on, I kept being scared that it would fall. I just couldn't get my hand around the lens. So in the end I chose the Tamron, which, don't get me wrong, I also really like. :) I could hold that one much better and the focus- and zoom ring were more logical to me. On the Sigma, I had to use so much power to turn them that I thought I was doing something wrong...
Anyway, I'm really happy with my new lens, although I haven't even tried it (except in the camera store of course).

Olympus SP-510 UZ
Today I woke up with a terrible headache and that's why I haven't used it yet. I did take some pictures today (latest three in my gallery) but they were taken with my old camera! Yesterday I found out that it still works! I've tried several things, and one of them was trying 12 different batteries but I didn't work with any of them. Now I found out that it's my battery charger that doesn't work anymore. Stupid me.
Anyway, my old Olympus can make great macro pics (for a compact camera) and I'll use that one until I actually buy a macro lens. That will be my next lens I think, but I'll wait some time before I buy it... I spent quite a lot on the new Tamron. ;)

My love
And the last 4 days I really missed Stefan, my boyfriend. He's in America for two weeks and the day he returns, I will leave for my own holidays, so I can't see him for a full month. He was already gone on the day we were together for 1,5 year. :(
By the way, he's on deviantart too: ~Vallidius, although he's not really active here. He's a great drawer, so I hope he'll upload some of his work. ;) *Hint*

I'm glad you mentioned your old account because I had no idea who you were! :P I'm doing fine, bought a DSLR last year and I'm looking for a zoom lens now. Unfortunately something's wrong with my camera software so I have to send it to Pentax but that will be solved soon.
My study takes a lot of time (I'm currently studying at university) but it's very interesting so I don't really care about the time I have to spend on it.
And how are you doing? I visited your account a few times but there were no new deviations so I figured you quit photographing or at least uploading them to dA. I'm going to check our your new gallery now! :)

Ahaha, understandable ;-)

I'd like to think I've improved somewhat, but I'm not spending as much time on photography as I wish I could.

What are you studying? :-)

90% of teens have a percentage based signature. If you're one of the 10% that doesn't, repos...wait...shit!

Please don't mind my terrible English, I'm really tired right now :P

Biomedical sciences, I will probably (but I'm not sure what I'm actually going to do :P) work in the lab of a hospital or develop new medicines. But I'm just finishing my first year and after this one I have at least four more years. Fortunately I don't have to decide what direction to choose yet ;)

I don't know either...or even what I want to do in the year that's coming up. University...or something else?

I'll study physics though, I do know that. Which is a start, I suppose :D I'll just take the longest degree I can find, and give myself 6 years to decide.

Haha but you do like physics enough? If you'll be spending the next 6 years on it you should already be quite certain I'd say!
I always liked physics too but I didn't really see myself studying it or having a career in it. Have fun I'd say, and I hope you'll not regret your choice! :) But first I recommend to enjoy your Summer holidays! :dance:
