Beginning with a Single Step
December 1, 2007
I love photography, but up until today, I’d never really experienced it firsthand. I enjoy creative expression in so many forms and today I had a blast getting my first “hands-on” with my brand-new digital SLR Nikon D40x. I’ve never owned more than a very basic point-and-shoot, and am/was excited not only to have such a powerful camera, but more importantly to spend a Saturday afternoon learning how to use it to its full potential (even if that knowledge is mostly theoretical in my hands at this point) under the guidance of some greats.
I went shooting with a friend from work, Adam, and two of his friends, one of whom is going to be our wedding photographer (Danny Heinlein–check him out at www.dwphotoz.com and you will understand why I aspire to his skills.) The third, Clint, I hadn’t met, but all three are very easy to get along with and immensely talented photographers. Without a doubt, I learned more in two hours today shooting with these guys than I would’ve in a week on my own.
Here are some of my favorites of the more than 200 I took:

I myself buy from and would recommend the following camera retailers to any one! They offer good prices and top shelf service. In particular, both Adorama and B&H are great resources for learning and I've always found their staff to be very helpful and knowledgeable. I'd so appreciate it if you use the links below to begin shopping; it won't cost you an extra cent but I'll earn a small commission which will allow me to spend more time answering your questions and helping others!
