LAST DAY IN PARIS

I always go on a shopping rampage whenever it’s the last day I am spending in a city. This time I was in Paris, and I went to the Galeries Lafayette on a shopping spree… Amongst accessories, clothing & stuff, I bought a Leica Bridge camera that I completely fell in love with 🙂 it records videos in 4K and the zoom goes up to 400 mm !

I spent about an hour and a half at the Leica store in the Galeries Lafayette Hommes (men department), because I wanted to try every and each model they had, and I had like a billion questions about everything because I’m not familiar with cameras since I have only been using my iPhone / iPad & iMac / Macbook Pro Photo Booth, and my hybrid camcorder to shoot pictures… which is so not adjusted for it, since it’s a camcorder it’s rather for filming.

But whatever, for many years I did the best that I could with what I had. I used to own two compact cameras back when I was a teenager, they were lame but that’s how I started, and that is with what got me into taking pictures as a hobby. Lately though, I wanted to step it up a notch, but didn’t feel comfortable enough with my photography amateur skills to buy a DSLR camera, that is why I decided to meet myself halfway and get a Bridge, so I could train on that first for a couple of years, and whenever the time comes in the future and I feel good enough about it, I will get a DSLR. Not for now though, I’m more than happy with my Leica V-Lux.

While I was waiting for them to prepare my camera, I had to sit for a while but at least I had a yummy Vanilla Frapuccino from the Starbucks they have on place, and that felt real nice because it was so hot inside and the drink was extra cold lol They also called me a Uber cab, and got a free ride paid by the Leica store, so I didn’t have to take public transportation with my brand new purchases that I honestly couldn’t carry because it was a little bit too heavy for me… Next day, I was flying Swiss Airlines to Zurich, to meet and be with my best friend !
