STOCK RULES:</u>
  Since this is my regular gallery as well as where I am going to upload my stock: DO NOT MANIPULATE ANYTHING THAT DOESN'T HAVE "STOCK"</i></u> IN THE DEVIATION TITLE.
  Please send me a link of your deviation.  I would very much like to see what everyone has done.  By note, underneath the dev, on my front page, I really am not that picky.
  For deviantART only please.  If you truly feel the desire to use my stock outside of dA, please contact me and we can hopefully work it out.
  Use for contests inside of deviantART.
  Do NOT use for contests outside of deviantART.
  Do NOT use for Prints, on dA or otherwise.  Frankly, my work isn't good enough quality for that.
  If you want to use for avatars or journals, so long as they are for deviantART, be my guest.

GOING TO EUROPE</u>

This trip is not going to be as epic as my last to Europe.  I'm only going for a week and I lose a day flying into the sunrise.  I'm doing my Gramma's favourite World War I tour, so the only places that I am really visiting that are not near or related to that era are Amsterdam and Brussels.  I know what I would like to see in Amsterdam, but does anyone know what's interesting to see in Brussels that isn't the peeing statue?

Anyway, I will be taking many photos, which should be of a WAY higher quality then my last trip to Europe.  I won't be getting to Paris, so I have no oppourtunity to get more photos of the awesomeness that is Sainte-Chapelle.  Hopefully the places I visit will be amazing and I can come back with some truly awesome photos.  Not that I have been very good about posting up my awesome photos from last summer…  Sorry about that.

NEW LENS</u>

Since I had money donated to me specifically for a lens and because of my upcoming trip, I am now a proud owner of Sigma AF 10-20mm f/4 – 5.6 EX D HSM Wide Angle Zoom Lens.  It was WAY less of a hassle to buy this then it was my camera kit (see previous journal entry for all the gory details) and I am happy to report that I got what I wanted the first time with no mishaps, exchanges or wanting to vomit.  It helped that it wasn't nearly as expensive and I had my dad there as moral support.
