Over the past few years I have always had a passion for taking photos and have loved using my iphone to snap thousands of shots of different things, the whole Instagram thing just sent me crazy as I felt I could finally share my passion with everyone else all over the world. I dreamt about one day buying a professional camera and learning how to be a real photographer but the outlay always seemed too excessive and I put the idea to the back of my mind many times. Something else more important came up.
In the lead up to Christmas my husband told me he had bought me a present I really wanted and I assumed he had bought me a bike as we had been talking about going biking with the kids a lot and I was the only one who didn't have one. My son even managed to lie brilliantly and told me that yes indeed I was getting a brand new bike. On Christmas morning after the kids had gone bizerk in a present unwrapping frenzy I sat wondering when hub was going to wheel the bike out and also where he could have possibly been hiding it for the past few weeks? I imagined her was in cahoots with the neighbours and they were going to rock up any moment with my new bike. He then came downstairs with a small box all wrapped up and I thought, hang on a minute, this is way too small to even be a helmet to go with the bike. When I opened the present and saw the most amazing Canon 700D camera inside I burst into tears as I had just never imagined he would get me something so expensive and especially that he had managed to keep it a secret.
It truly was the best Christmas surprise every and also the best present I could ever wish for. Over the next few days I only used the camera here and there as I was so overwhelmed by its sheer magnificence (Ok yes that may seem a bit silly to some but humour me here people) I knew I needed space, silence and complete alone-ness to read all about it and take the time to figure out how the hell you actually use it. There are so many bells and whistles with this little beauty.
Since then my initial intimidation of the camera has subsided and I have booked in to do a beginners course in a few weeks and I have even created my own Facebook page to start loading up the loads of practice photos I will be taking! So if you are interested in following me on this little journey and helping me to live my dream of one day being a professional photographer go ahead and like my page and let me know what you think of my beginners photos.
