Equipment

This is the camera I use.  Canon T3i with 18-55 lens. It's also called Canon 600D in Asia market.

 

I was thinking if I should get a better one like 5D. Or wondering if I should get the red circle lens like 17-40.

I abandoned that idea when I saw a Chinese guy put some thoughts on one blog.
They call 18-55 "dog head". 17-40 "bull head". Here dog means novice and bull means professional.
He said, "The expert using dog head gets great pic. The expert using bull head gets great pic"
"The novice using dog head gets shit pic. The novice using bull head gets good pic"

I don't wanna be the person who rely on the equipment. Or just blame on those equipment when couldn't get a good pic.

I chose the harder way. Get a starter camera with a "Dog head" first. And only get the better one when this one is no longer fit my needs.

Here are what I get for starter:
Canon T3i
18 -55 Lens
55 - 250 Lens (Actually it's not necessary)
