One of my hobbies is taking photography. Ever since I was a kid, I always wanted to own a camera and I always wanted to take lots of photos. But unfortunately, my dreams didn t come true. Though we had one small film camera, I wasn t able to take pictures as I wish. A few years later, my uncle sent me a Canon T50 SLR camera with a tele lens and I was very happy to receive it. I used to play with that camera as I couldn t afford the film and the photo development fees. I tried to learn shooting a camera by taking both auto and manual shoots but I didn t gain much.

Time goes by and when it comes to the digital age, I had a chance to try Sony F717 semi-pro digital camera. Since then, I kinda like Sony camera mainly coz of its user-friendliness. And that s one of the main reason my very first digital camera became Sony H1. I like it very much and I m still using it. That camera has a very powerful optical lens. But it took quite a while to learn how to shoot photos with that camera. By the time I know how to shoot, I bought myself a new camera.

And that new camera I just bought is the entry level Digital SLR camera, Canon EOS 400D, from Canon. Let me tell you all about how I got the chance to buy that camera. I was asked to accompany a friend who wants to buy some electronic equipment. When we were there, me and my other friend were hiding the one who asked us to accompany him. Then, by chance, we got into a camera shop and I found the camera I was looking for. Above all, the shop offered me a good deal and also my friend asked me to buy it. At the end, I had to spend quite some money to buy a new camera.

But at the end of the day, I feel so good coz I got what I wanted for a long time. I ve been planning to buy a DSLR camera but I was planning to buy it only in February. This hobby is actually not an economic one coz we are not going to shop shopping after buying a camera. Now I have to buy a camera bag. I will also need to buy a tri-pod, camera cleaning kit, lens hood, external flash, extra lens, etc, etc. Anyway, you guys will able to see some of my photos in a near future. I m planning to go for outdoor shooting this weekend and hopefully it will be sunny this weekend.
