Hi apsu,
I'm Lauren :) I'm 22 years old and I'm a university student studying Information Science. I'm an aspiring freelance photographer and I've been taking photos and videos with my point-and-shoot camera for long as I can remember. I finally got my first DSLR when I was 16. I got a Canon t3i with the factory default lens, and I've been using it ever since. Over the years I've invested in two lenses and out of the two, I generally stick with my Canon 50mm f2.8 lens. Because of your generosity, I would like to pay it forward and give away my precious Canon t3i here on steemit as well if I am chosen.
I personally feel like I'm at a time in my life where I should upgrade not only a better camera but a higher quality of photographs as well. Being a student though, I'm not able to have the luxury of buying a new camera. I am humbled to be apart of such a wonderful community here on Steemit where I'm even able to consider the possibility of upgrading my DSLR.
If by any chance I am under consideration, I suggest checking out these steemit posts: post 1, post 2, post 3, and post 4 and the video I took in this post as well.
Thank you for your generosity. I hope you're able to find someone who is worthy of your precious Canon, I know personally I would have a difficult time choosing.
Thanks for the comment, I'm glad you have been enjoying the photography :)
I'm now hoping I wasn't unclear which camera I'm giving out, but it might be because US and EU names for cameras are very different. It seems that the Canon t3i is better than the 500D, as in Europe it's 600D.
They are both still good cameras for their age and I checked out your posts which look really good :)
Hopefully you'll finally manage to do the same as I did and get a big upgrade in the cameras.
Oh, my misunderstanding... I looked up the Canon 500D and realized I know it by "Canon EOS Rebel T1i". I hope you pick a worthy candidate for your camera, I understand how special they can be to a person. This post has still inspired me to one day give away my camera on steemit and "pay it forward" if I ever do end up upgrading. Thank you for your honesty and consideration apsu <3
