Unhappy New definition of frustrated

my definition is as follows.

"To receive your new tripod (silk 700dx) and camera (T3i) but not your lenses."

oh well it's not the end of the world, but still right now the above is my new definition.

Ugh. Kind of like giving a smoker a new pack of cigarettes but no lighter or matches, LOL! Hope your lenses come soon so you can play.

You could always check out DIY Photography or Google for instructions on making a DIY pinhole setup for your camera. All it's going to cost you is the body cap (which can be easily replaced) and a little time.

Oh man, it's like throwing a starving dog a rubber pork chop!

IABoomer, THANKS for your suggestions!! It's raining a perfect monsoon here today, now I know how to keep myself amused. I've always wanted to play with a pinhole camera, never thought about doing it with digital. Oh boy, this is gonna be so cool..........

I'll have to try the pinhole idea too. Haven't messed with any of them since jr. high. ;-) Thanks Boomer!

@OP, sounds like you won't have to be frustrated for long with the pinhole idea. Better to have something to work with than nothing at all.
