I’ve been wanting to learn photography for a while now, so I splurged and bought myself a new digital camera a couple weeks ago, a Nikon D40 Digital SLR. While the verdict is still out on whether dropping a few hundred bucks on a fancy camera will actually make me any better of a photographer, here is one of the first pictures I took after pulling it out of the box.
This was taken out of my bedroom window, looking up Third ave. (Yes, I was wearing the neck strap so as to prevent any more accidental electronic free falls.) I honestly have no clue how I got this picture to come out so well… I’ve been unable to replicate anything like it in the week and half since.
Anyway, I’m planning on posting more of my photography as I become more familiar with the camera, and I welcome any comments or criticism you have. I’m also hoping to integrate one of the photo hosting services (like Picasa or Flickr) with this site, so if you have any experience with this, please let me know.
