So. I am not a professional at this. It's something I like to do as a hobby and picked up last year. I would play around with my little Casio Exilim compact and take sometimes ok looking pictures. I just upgraded to a new $240 camera that I love. I didn't get an SLR because I can't afford one and I don't know if I could fully take advantage of it yet. In any case, I'm very pleased with these, and hopefully will continue to post more. I'd love to hear your thoughts.
