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

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
