GOOD NEWS! I finally have a camera (an ancient cannon eos 1200d) and I finally figured how to use it! Got a few good photos that I will add here once I figure out how to do so. (I still have no idea how to do most things, like setting an aperture or shutter speed).
EVEN BETTER NEWS! I’m heading off into a jungle for a 2 day stay (for the annual butterfly count). Its a jungle, so I’ll be able to spot some new birds (hopefully).
