Ok so for bout 6-7 years now I've had a few hobbies. One being the art of PHOTOGRAPHY. This one out of all of the others is my favorite. In the past years I've done it as a hobby but now I am thinking bout taking it more seriously. I've been following a few blogs of some famous photographers and their images inspire the heck outta me.
Right now I have a pretty decent collection of equipment that doesn't limit me too much. And now I've got a friend that is into photography that knows what he is talking about that can give me constructive criticism so I can learn faster. Before all I had was myself so it has been a slow process. Everything I've learned about photography has been self taught and from reading articles and magazines.
I am currently looking into subscribing to a photo magazine but can't decide which one. My fav's have always been SHUTTERBUG and Popular PHOTOGRAPHY.
Anyways I am gonna try to actually post a good bit on this BLOG instead of just letting it go to waste like I did the past one I had. Back when LIVEJOURNAL was the coolest blog website. ha ha
Maybe even try to do a photo of the day or photo of the week.
Here is my first photo. I may try and put a small story behind the photo as to how and why I took the image and any thoughts on it.
This photo was taken because I finally got the basic but awesome Canon 50mm f.18 II lens. It is a relatively cheap lens and I got it for like $40 cheaper than retail. It is an awesome lens because it is cheap but has great Depth of Field and is a fast and sharp lens. I am having a blast using it. Gotta get used to using a prime lens but other than that I love it. In this image u can see the shallow depth of field where only a few of the letters are in focus but everything else is blurred. This shot even inspired another forum user to take one like it. Nice knowing I inspired someone to do something. ha ha
