Transitioning to Manual Mode
2 min read
After owning my new DSLR for approximately 1 and a half weeks now, I've really gotten into enjoying taking photos when ever I get the chance. Although I started using the auto mode then I tried different modes.
Been watching many different videos on youtube for advice and basics of DSLR's, and reading many websites every night to try sink the basics of Aperture, Shutter speed and ISO in. In the different modes I started to play around with those 3 and some shots I found were ok others were absolutely horrible!!
Today I went near the ocean shore to take shots of the sunset and tried using the Aperture and Shutter priority modes which I loved and got a hand of it reasonably fast (well for the basics anyway).
After quite a lot of shots, I decided to trial Manual mode and I feel some what comfortable with using it more often now as I'm starting to understand the basics a lot more. I definitely need a bigger memory card I've found as I've been clearing it after every photoshoot I go out on but today I almost filled it ( I have 8GB).
Will be uploading Manual mode later tonight.
Thought that crossed my mind, is to get a paper journal to keep ideas and tricks I've learnt in it as a memory curve and reminder...

New Hobby...
1 min read
After much thought and some research online & friends opinions. I've decided to take up photography as a hobby. I've been interested in taking photos for while now mainly of scenery but of some other things as well. Couple weeks ago got new phone (Samsung Galaxy SII) and just got home from a weekend at Coolangatta QLD Australia which I've taken several photos on new phone.
This has led to wanting to take better photos and as a new hobby, in the next 2 weeks I plan to buy the Canon EOS 1100D Limited Edition DSLR and hopefully start learning from there.
As I remember an old friend used this site, I've made an account to start sharing photos and hoping for some constructive criticism and further help so one day I can hopefully sell some prints to recoup some of the costs mainly for traveling.
Will start uploading some photos I've taken on the trip away.
P.S: I'm very new, and have be told I'm a horrible photographer but I hope to change this in due time.
