ThePhotography Bug!


I guess I had this for sometime even though I must confess I know precious little about the technicalities.So I thought I would make amends and went ahead and got myself a DSLR(Digital Single Reflex) Camera. DSLR's are the 'real' cameras and sure cost a bomb!.I bought the recently launched Nikon D80 and have been trying to figure it.Obviously this is no easy hobby to keep...so I picked up some Photography books and manuals from the library and started pouring over it.

I guess I understand the basics now-Aperture,Shutter speed,Exposure,lighting etc.The beauty as usual lies in the details which means you need to be able to translate all this technical knowledge into using the DSLR.

I havent still really got a chance to try out the D80 but this weekend seems a good opportunity to catch the last of the beautiful fall season around here. I guess I will start out with some pictures in 'idiot' mode and then experiment with some of the things I learnt about.

More to come on my fledgling photographic journey!

This one is real good... SLR and that too Digital....

Since it costs a bomb...it should click photos of 'bombshells' only. Trust you will have a nice time clicking them.
