One of my life list goals....#32 to be exact...is to purchase a decent camera and try my hand at photography.I love my little Canon PowerShot SX100 digital. I just don't think it's equipped to handle the type pictures I imagine myself taking.
I've always been enamored with photos.
When I worked as a home health nurse I would spend hours looking through photo albums while visiting my patients.
I didn't have a clue who any of these people were or why I was so drawn to the hundreds of images I looked at. The older the photo....the more time I spent gazing at it.
My patients (often elderly married couples) would sit there beaming proudly at their wedding photograph from 40 years ago or the husband's old military photo taken prior to the fighting action he witnessed during WWII....just snapshots in time....and I loved it!
So, I'm soliciting a little help.
I've spent some time over the past couple of days reading about cameras, equipment and yada yada yada. It all starts coming together in a big jumbled mess after a few hours self-timer, macro mode, adjusting flash output single lens reflex.
A little advice on a great camera for a beginner would be greatly appreciated.
Here are a few images I thought were exceptional...hijacked from numerous sites all over the blogosphere!
and my all time favorite
