Digital Camera Notebook – Welcome
Welcome to the Digital Camera Notebook. This site is devoted to all of you latecomers to the world of digital photography and cameras, which – by the way – also includes me. I’m going to try to take a very light-hearted approach here and will hopefully amuse and possibly enlighten.
In the Fall 2008 I decided that I really needed something a bit more serious than a simple point-and-shoot digital camera. I really have nothing against these types of cameras, except that I honestly found them to be too difficult to use. They are a bit set in there ways and if you were in a low light situation or sporting event, it was almost impossible to get great results.
All of this started when my wife and I visited the beautiful port city of Provincetown, MA in September. The weather was beautiful, the ocean blue and the sky constantly changing. There I was in such a beautiful location with only my simple point and shoot camera, a Canon Power Shot A85.
I made the best of it though. I learned a long time ago that a camera is only part of the story behind a great photo. You also need to be in the right place at the right time and a sharp eye for what other would normally ignore.
What I’ll be doing here is taking you along on my journey into the world of SLR Digital Cameras. I won’t always make the right move or purchase, but maybe we can all learn from the process. I am definitly not one of those people who constantly needs to exude their wisdom and knowledge. But, there seems to be a ton to learn, regardless of scattered past with film photography.
With all of this said, I’m going to get started in the next day or two with some stories and adventures into the world of Digital Cameras. See you soon!
