Photography: our Art, our Passion...

"Photography is the art, science, and practice of creating pictures by recording radiation on a radiation-sensitive medium, such as a photographic film, or electronic image sensors."

Photography nowadays is one of the best hobbies man has ever discovered. With the advancement of modern photography today, a bunch of high technological digital photo cameras and video cameras were born. Here comes Canon, Nikon, Sony, Samsung, Pentax, Lumix, Olympus and a lot more brand names hit the mark of producing the best products they could ever bring out to the market.

I have always loved photos, especially those high quality ones. I always want to go thru photography websites and it takes a lot of my time sitting back and staring and browsing thru those lovely pictures of natures, animals, beaches, weddings, people, models or anything amazing. And i wish i could shoot like them. The right angles, the right amount of light, the color, the focus, the image's position, all these and more were the details i would love to work out with. But i could never do all these with just my Canon IXUS 100 IS compact camera. :D What i need is a Digital Single Lens Reflex Camera, which have been so famous these days on this digital world we are living in.

I've been wanting to buy one last year before i went back to the Philippines. But for some reasons, i have opted not to buy since i bought my new Packard Bell Easy Note TM laptop together with my Sony DCR-SX34E handycam. And after a year, I have been wanting to buy an SLR... desperate. LOL

An Easter Sunday out of the country trip to France would be nice to be my first SLR shooting experience. So I've been planning to get one this coming Saturday. I was trying to search for something cool, affordable and a medium-end gadget for this one (for a starter like me :D). My Babe and I had tried to search the web for some good catch. Our choices: Canon EOS 550D (18MP) or Canon EOS 600 (18MP). I am still not decided which one will i get. Whoooaaaahhh! :D

It was last March 7 when my babe just got his Canon PowerShot G12, a powershot gadget with 10MP CCD sensor, an HS system, a vari-angle LCD screen and is a premium compact with an EOS-style front control dial, got its video recording capability, and not to mention its being a water proof camera. So nice, right? :D

Prior to this gadget, he has already got his professional DSLR, a Canon EOS 500D. A cool model from Canon with a 15.1MP resolution, and a lot more great features and capabilities (you may want to read a review about this EOS 500D here

He is a good shooter, got a bunch of photos from his SLR and yeah, i have seen lots of them posted. They were great and they were fabulous. And I am proud of him. <3

My babe and I got the same point of interest, the same intensity of passion for photography. We need a lot more studying to do to be good at it, but yeah, we will get more time for that. For the meantime, shooting more often will improve our abilities to be almost perfect shooters and photographers. :D I wish we could be together soon, go some places and experience the art of  photography in its real sense. <3
