Hey everybody!
It’s been a couple of weeks since I’ve gotten my Canon 50d and I must say I love it. But I can’t even begin to tell you why or how. Frankly, I’m a rookie to the whole photography game. ISO, F-stops, Shutter speeds…it all seems so very esoteric to me. This coming from a person who took a basic Photography class in high school. My friend Arnold, whom I credit for me taking an interest in this hobby and spending way too much money on it, always scolds me for using my camera on Auto mode. I don’t have to set any settings and I just let the camera do it’s own work. That makes sense though. I did pay all that money for the features, I might as well control them myself. I’ve been mostly taking pictures of people, mostly friends, and going out and shooting random buildings or still life. So… bear with me, I, like my photos, are a work in progress.

These are just a few of pictures I have taken in the last two weeks. The first couple are under the Auto setting but the last three are done in Manual which means I had to focus and find the right combination of aperture size and shutter speed. Then I do some touching up on some editing software. It’s all really tedious work for a hobby, but I guess it’s not a hobby if it’s not time-consuming. I like each picture in it’s own way but until I really learn the true value of good photography I’ll hold off on telling you why. Most of all, I like these photos because they are MY photos. I no longer have to steal pictures from my friends.
Anyways, here’s the link to my public album. If you’re one of my friends, I have another album with pictures of us, just ask me for the link.
Off to do some real homework! Have a great week!<a
