I have been “taking photos” for a few years now. I got my own digital camera for Christmas in December of 2006. For just over a year I wasn’t very serious about it. I would take a few photos at family events and some others here and there. I got my Nikon D60 on my birthday in 2009. Since that time I’ve taken just under 9,000 photos with it. (I just checked: exactly 8,888.) My interest in photography has continued to grow. The question is can I really call myself a photographer?
For some reason I have really been wanting to try shooting with a film camera. The only time I’ve ever done so was in high school (I don’t want to think about how many years ago that was) and I didn’t know how to do anything, really, except push the shutter button. The problem with film is cost. I don’t think picking up a film camera body on eBay or another used site would be a problem (so long as I can figure out what or what not to buy).
I had a hard time choosing a photo for my 365 on Tuesday so I decided to go ahead and post several here. Part of the reason being my free flickr account is filling up and I don’t want to spam it with too many similar things. The first is actually posted on my flickr but I added the borders to match the others. These were taken around 8PM. The fountain is near where I work. I think I’ll be going back for more photos.
While visiting my parent’s this weekend my sisters and I decided to see if we could find any deals at Circuit City. I didn’t walk in intending to buy anything. I didn’t even know that what cameras Circuit City carried. When I saw their camera aisle I found out that they had Nikon D40s, D60s, D80s, and the D90, all marked down 20%. I guess you can see what I found.
