Plastic Crown Jewels

... So I bought a Canon EOS 400D with my £550 budget, then had to by a CF card, and then a case...

And yesterday I decided I needed a tripod... so I left the camers shop with a tripod... and a macro lens... and a DVD of a nice American gentlemen explaining how I should use my camera... and a spare battery for my wife's camera

And a catalogue of Canon goodies - but that was free

So much for the budget!

I took this picture of my Granson's "I'm the king of the castle" crown with my new lens (with the camera attached)

Perhaps I need to go back to the DVD chapter on depth of field.
