What do you mean "Canonite?"

If you couldn't guess, Canonite refers to my Canon camera. But more than that, it refers to my passion for my camera. I really enjoy shooting with my Rebel XSi, which I got to replace my tragically stolen XTi I originally picked up to make the dive into DSLR photography. I use the kit lens that came with my XSi, the EF-S 18-55 mm f/3.5-5.6 IS, and I also picked up the EF-S 55-250 mm f/4.0-5.6 IS. For my shooting style the IS is fairly clutch, it affords a few stops of leeway for hand held shooting, which helps with the low light shooting I find myself doing.

From there I take my photos into the default raw editor from Canon for 2 reasons, 1) it's free, and 2) it works. Don't get me wrong, I'm a big Adobe junkie, but I am not wealthy enough to keep up, and I don't have anywhere to learn lightroom first. After raw tweaking to produce the best jpg from the source I take them into photoshop, where I exercise my training for editing, retouching, and otherwise mastering for print.

My iMac is calibrated to be as close as a $5 calibration kit can get it to reliably match my printing lab, and since the next level is an auto calibrating tool that costs lots, I figured that color is subjective anyway and close enough is just fine. Nothing has come from them that has disappointed me yet.

Woe is me, I'm running out of hard drive space, and a new external is in order. Thankfully the price per terabyte is going down. I say terabyte because, of course, that is what they market on the box, even though computers tend to have more meaningful connections with Tebibytes, as that is based on powers of 2, not 10.

I'd like to connect with the other Canonites out there, comment on here about your canon camera, or ask a question about my camera or photography.
