Ever since I first had a digital compact camera, I've always been very intrigued by photography and creating interesting compositions. I suppose that stems from my 'talent' with visual art.
When that camera broke (due to me dropping it...) I was devastated, but I remember saying how the next camera I would buy myself would be a DSLR.
This past spring, after spending my first few months in Vancouver, I realized this was the perfect time for me to make the big purchase/investment. I spent all summer testing out different camera's, reading reviews, and talking to those I know who have legitimate experience in the area of photography.My ultimate goal was to get one just before I flew home to Ontario for Thanksgiving, so that I could take hundreds of good quality pictures of my family. However, I just couldn't wait any longer, and today I broke the bank and made a big dream of mine a big reality.
Being a proud owner of a Nikon D3000, I am SO very excited to bring creativity and art back into my life (in a new and exciting format!). I live in a very beautiful city, that has endless photo ops, and so many versatile people to shoot.A part of me feels as if I'm starting something new, as if this isn't just a new toy, but a new huge part of my life.
I took a lot of test photos today, but of course I'll be horribly amateur for quite some time, so I've just posted my 2 favourite so far. Both featuring David.
