I've always been interested in photography.. probably because my dad had one of those huge old slr cameras with detachable lenses.



So recently I've been able to afford a new DSLR camera.. and it's amazing.



While p&s cameras have their place and are handy, the new dslr cams really put them to shame when it comes to artistic capability and control. Even basic p&s photography taken with a dslr is just... better.



Also having a second lens and popping them on/off feels so.. official.

I can't wait to learn manual settings. It's a pretty technical little piece of equipment.





I'm taking pictures at a wedding this weekend for some friends. People are daunting. They move, are unpredictable, and their soft skin can turn from red to cyan in photos in an instant if the lighting changes just a tiny bit.





Photo editing software... the good kind... is expensive. I keep thinking Adobe is going to just magically give me some for free. Wishful thinking.

It looks like you've got good instincts. The manual stuff isn't so tough to learn. Once you understand what aperture sizes do for your depth of field, the rest falls into place with proper metering.

I've never used Photoshop Elements, but for what I'm suspecting you get, it seems pretty affordable.

Photography is a very rewarding hobby, and one you'll never regret taking up!
