A view through my camera

I recently added photography to my endless list of hobbies. As if I don't have enough. A good buddy of mine I went to college with is basically responsible for getting me into this expensive hobby. I had some basic knowledge of photography back in college, but back then none of it was digital. I've always liked photography, not as a profession but more for a hobby. It was just an expensive thing to get into along with the time and patience when it comes to developing the film, which of course is part of the whole process. It took a while to remember what I've learned, but it's all coming back. Although I can only remember certain things. Thankfully my buddy Nick is very helpful when it comes to sharing tips and techniques. I also have another buddy here locally that is a professional photographer that has given me some great tips as well.

I was blown away when Nick showed me the photos he had taken. It was amazing how much he had learned from the class as if he had been doing this all his life. I am still learning and will keep on doing so. I am working on mastering the tips and tricks that these guys have shared with me and utilize all that info to become a better photographer. It has become another expensive addiction that I'm glad i got into. It truly gives me a way of looking into ordinary things in a different perspective.

I have to admit. If this was still old school SLR film, I don't think I would've got in to it as much as I am now. There's just something about that instant gratification, that as soon as you take that picture you get to see it. I love technology! Here are some pictures I've taken. All pictures are taken on a Canon EOS 30D Digital SLR.
