The Return of the DSLR (and an Update)


 Yes we are back to a decent camera again. A Canon Rebel T7 was purchased for much needed photographs as a certain member of the Lonebiker clan was graduating, no I wasn't using an iPhone for my own flesh and bloods big day. The very thought of that makes me kinda want to throw up in my mouth. 

I went from a Canon 60D to this which is a bit of a slide downwards but I don't care one bit. The little time I had with it was magical and I am quite ecstatic about my photo future providing this 11 year old Mac computer holds out.

We do have the issue of having to find Lonebiker Jr a ride which is paramount above everything else. So please don't pick on the interns again.

For sure a beer review will happen. I can damn well guarantee it. 

Happy Canada Day kids. 

Happy Thursday
