My Rebel

Peace at Last

Back in the day, I owned a Canon Rebel film camera. I loved that camera, but unfortunately I lost it in the divorce.

Fast forward about 15 years and many point and shoot cameras later, I once again am the proud owner of a Canon Rebel T3. And it's not just your average camera, it's red which I hope reflects the attitude of my photos as I begin to emerge from taking pictures to becoming a photographer.

As with the film camera, I have no clue how to use this camera, but I love photography, real photography and not my usual CPP (cell phone photography).

The photo above is a raw image taken this past weekend at Spier Falls. Landscape photography is probably my first choice.  There's just something about making every day life pop.

I have so much to learn about my Rebel and what I can do with it. I want to share them here primarily to be able to look back at my progress.  Some day I'll try to enhance my photos with a photo editor, but for now I have enough on my plate to learn.

Here's my first manual focus shot once I got my new CRT3:
