First post!!

FOLLOW YOUR DREAMS!

First off let me say thankyou for taking time and interest in this blog. And when I say follow your dreams I mean just that! Let me give a little backround on that. About a month ago I came to the conclusion that I have always wanted to do photography. I have had multiple people including a professional photographer tell me I have an eye for it. This got me thinking and asking myself questions. Did I really love it? Could I see myself doing this for life? If I worked hard could I make it a career? Could I be that good? These questions rolled thru my head. Finally I was like hells yea I could do this. I can push myself to better myself and possibly make a career out of it. ( I say possibly becuase lets get real you never know people! Im being realistic!) Its something I have always loved doing. Im that person that at any occasion that gets up in your shit at all sorts of diffrent angles to get that one amazing picture. As well as I can take 100 photos and not even realize it till I get home. All I was using was a Nikon point and shoot digi compact camera and I knew to jump into the photography world I would need something a little more "professional". So the search was on for my very first DSLR.....



I have finally decided what DSLR I willl be purchasing today! After weeks and weeks of research I have decided to go with the Nikon D5100. I am getting a bundle which comes with the 18-55mm lense and the 50-200mm lense. They are not the best but I figured perfect to start out with. There is a link below to give you information on the type of camera I have chosen.

Now before you go off to the store to chose a camera PLEASE do research on them. Let me tell you all the sales people are goin to do is pitch you the most expensive camera in the store so they can look good for selling a high priced item. Like I said I did tons of research on what I wanted. And thats just it you have to know what you want to photograph. Myself I will be dappling in a little of everything. So your probably wondering what made me buy the Nikon D5100. Well I will tell you! lol

• I coudn't afford the Nikon D7000 or any of the higher end cameras
• I chose a entry level one to learn from, I didnt want to buy something that was totally out of my league
• The Nikon D5100 has the same sensor as the D7000, this was the main thing that won me over
• It will do everything I want to do with it to start off learning
• Its affordable!
• I have read many great reviews on it as well as seen some of the work people have done with this camera

Once again RESEARCH!!! You have to choose a camera thats right for you. Besides any camera you decide to get will be great. From what I have learned so far its not so much the camera but the eye behind it and your LENS!! lol Which I will talk abou lenses down the road once I get it tonight and learn. So the my journey begins as I make the first step into following my dream. There will be lots to learn and lots I will share. I will post pictures of the unboxing or maybe even a video along with some of the very first pictures I take with it.

FOLLOW YOUR DREAMS!!
