My hobby
This photo is one of my favorites. It was a great day walking the Cape Cod Canal with my family. The clouds just looked like they were painted in the sky like Bob Ross’s Paintings on PBS. I’ll have to look for another picture from a while ago where I have happy trees. 🙂

Beautiful Day in March 2016 at Beach State Reservation
No photos today, I brought my camera with me but forgot to put the memory card back in to the camera and didn’t have a spare in the bag. Suggestion to everyone buy an extra memory card to “hide” in your camera bag for just that occasion
I always check Amazon best sellers in Camera and Photo section to see what’s the best deal.
Grabbed a quick couple of pictures tonight in Scituate with my Canon Rebel T4i with the 18-135mm f3.5-f5.6 IS STM lens
Last year while at Capron Park Zoo I took a few pictures at the Lion display. Ramses is the male lion.
The colors of the walls and the lions really works well. I should definitely worked on a gray scale image on a few of these
The Snowy Crowned Robin Chat was also one of my favorite images from that day.
If you are anything like me you will get your first dslr camera and have no idea what your doing with it. You got a great manual that camera with the camera but lets be honest you’re not going to look at that thing until the camera stops working.
My first digital camera was a Sony F828 and it has a really nice lens on it. I didn’t know much about it but I wanted a camera that took “nice” pictures and recorded video. Most of the DSLRs at the time only did pictures and you needed a dedicated video camera. Plus this F828 took night vision shots too what isn’t to love about that camera.
Fast forward a few years and the technology got way better. Now every DSLR takes video and shots stills. First they shot TV resolution of 640×480, next they shot 720p next 1080p and now 4k video. Its amazing how fast the camera bodies have increased in resolution and frames per second.
Well now the history is out of the way. You want to jump right in and take some pics. I love my Canon Rebel T4i with the stock 18mm to 135mm lens, its light weight. The T4i body and can use (EF) full frame lenses as well as the lenses just for (EF-S) crop cameras. You really don’t know how light that camera setup is until you try lugging around a Canon 5D Mark III with a 70-200mm f2.8 IS lens.
Canon has released a few more bodies since I bought my T4i (18 MP) they are up to T7i (24MP) now with a new processor and a larger pixel count.
As you start to get more familiar with your DSLR you will find out what limitations of each body and lens combination.
Before you worry about buying new gear learn to use your current camera and lenses to maximize their use.
