Photography has been a hobby of mine since high school when I got my first Canon 35mm SLR camera, and the only option was to shoot at manual for everything. When life got busy, I didn't have time to learn the new cameras and the automated vs manual shooting modes, and shot only in automatic modes. I now have a Canon EOS Rebel T1i DSLR and am taking the time to learn photography all over again, and having a great time doing it! I appreciate any comments and feedback to help me improve.
