The Rebel Way
Thursday, August 13th 2009
As much as I have loved photography over the years, I’ve never owned a professional camera. The portability and capabilities of small point and shoots have always appealed to me, yet every “photographer” reaches a point where it is no longer possible to remain content and satisfied with the results achieved with one of these cameras and DSLR’s enter the picture.
I won’t go into much detail, but suffice to say I have had my eye on the Canon DSLR line up for a while, so, when the opportunity to own a Digital Rebel XT came up, I jumped on it.
Helped by the fact that I’m reading books on Canon DSLR’s and Apple’s Aperture, my need to shoot is growing exponentially. Luckily I’ve done a bit of traveling in the past month and have been pressed to shoot as much as I probably needed to learn a good amount about the entire process (playing with apertures and shutter speeds, etc).
In any case, and to wrap this up, here is a slideshow of my best pictures so far taken with my new Rebel:
