Another Hobby!! PHOTOGRAPHY

Yep, It seems as tho with introduction of the digital slr cameras like the Nikon D60, Nikon D3000, Canon Xs, and Canon Xsi that everyone jumped on the side business of photography. These entry level cameras will take great pictures and will produce prints that professional quality if the photographer has a decent eye and a steady hand. I picked up a Canon Rebel Xs used off of craigslist when my daughter was born and I will have to admit. I really considered giving a go at doing some freelance photography work. But when I looked into it seemed like everyone is doing it. Most of the people just starting out tho don't have a a real clue about shutter speed, aperture, and bokeh. It just takes some reading and research online to get a general understanding about each of these. The way I see this topic is I wouldn't dream of taking pictures of someone's wedding if I was simply going to use the auto setting of my digital slr. I think the client would deserve better if they were paying for this. Ok... Rant over... That aside I really enjoy taking photos of my family and friends but I find myself participating in the action too much to really wanta keep my camera around my neck to take pictures. Maybe someday when I slow down a little more. Who knows that may come quicker than I think if I keep getting sore from just normal activities!!
