I started shooting about 11 yrs ago when my wife bought me a Canon Rebel 35mm film camera. I was shooting basically, everything and anything in pre-set mode. My son was born last yr and I decided to go out and get a digital camera (Canon Rebel EOS T5/1200D). I was shooting in pre-sets until about October 2015. I started to read and find photos of what i wanted to accomplish. I have to say after extensive reading and shooting, I am definitely a better photographer today (still an amateur)but. Knowledge and practice (a lot of this), I finally see what i want in shooting the right photo. Thank you for reading and keep shooting!!!!!!
