Week 9: BOC Cyber Monday

This may be my favorite shopping day of the year. Most like to think that Black Friday is the day to shop but those amateurs are mistaken. On the Monday after Black Friday is the amazing day of Cyber Monday. The one day of the year where almost all businesses with an online store produce deals on theirs products. This day is great for a photographer because most of the equipment we need can be found more available online. To be a photographer you need a camera and "the eye" for photography. To be a GREAT photographer you need a little more. Lens are a photographers best friend. Sure we can see what will make a great picture but a lens is what makes a moment come to life in 2D form. This Cyber Monday I've been researching a new lens that I have been looking at for a couple of years. 

Canon EF 70-200mm f/2.8L II IS USM Telephoto Zoom Lens for Canon SLR Cameras

 

List Price: $4,000

Amazon Cyber Monday Price: $2,074.00

This telephoto lens is not only an amazing telephoto lens that makes getting pictures from far away look amazing it also works as a great portrait lens.  My photography business specializes in portrait photography, having this lens would increase my abilities in my portraits. With the ability to take a portrait with a longer focal length is a great way to make my photography more creative and pleasing to others. Since this is an "L series" lens I want to add this to my collection of lens now that I have been able to establish my business and have gained repeating customers.

This is a great deal because as you can see being a photography is another expensive career. We try to save money where ever we can. Being able to save almost $2,000 is a great way to obtain a much needed lens!
