Here is the original list stands presently:
A new lens up to 250-300 mm for distanceand eventually maybe a macro lensLens Brush for cleaningClear filter cap for lensKelly Moore camera bag (or a large Michael Kors bag)Photoshop elements or lightroomTake a class or have time to learn editing in above programsA personalized or decorative camera strap from Etsy.
As you can see, the original list is complete except for the macro lens. Did I actually finish one of my plans? Yes, I think I did. {high five to self}
If I am being totally honest, I can live without a macro lens for now. I have recently found a new lens (Canon EF 50mm f/1.8 II)
that I am wanting REALLY, REALLY bad!!! If only I would have put it on my Christmas list? LOL
The "wanting" of this lens began when my photographer mentor suggested I get a lens with a lower F-Stop with help with the grain in my pictures. So on Amazon I went to see what was offered. Additionally, I looked at other photographer suggestions and critiques. The price is not outrageous, but that also concerns me about it's quality. I am really interested to see how it does with portraits.
In regards to my photo shop workshop, it was quick. I wish it would have been longer and had more opportunity to practice, but that is the thing with PS you have got to work with it and watch tutorials. I am still learning. Youtube is very helpful.
Other things that I have acquired that was not originally listed: camera hoods, PS actions, and a tripod. I really like PS actions especially the free ones! I got the tripod on a black Friday sale at Wal-Mart. It's not the highest caliber, but for $10 it was worth grabbing to try out.
