Cannon 50d digital camera

There is such a big difference between a point and shoot camera and an SLR camera or single lens reflex. The quality of the photography is such a big difference.

If you are at all wanting to get serious about photography you will want to get an SLR camera.

You can set the camera to automatic or learn to use the settings on your camera. I took a photography class in high school back in the day of film only camera where we had to buy a black and white manual camera. That was quite a while ago but I vaquely remember setting the F stop and adusting the settings for different types of images. In those days (1984) you had to learn to develop the film in a dark room too.

Here is the Cannon 50d

Our first two lenses

If you are getting an SLR camera you will also need to buy lenses. Which ones you buy depend on what you want to do with your photography.

We started out with two lenses we felt were good all around lenses.
The Canon EF 28-135mm f/3.5-5.6 IS USM Standard Zoom Lens. This lens is great for almost anything such as outside, action, pets, nature, clouds, people. We use it for almost everything except indoors. For that we go to our other lens.

The 2nd lens we bought was the Canon EF 50mm f1.4 USM Standard & Medium Telephoto. It works great for taking pictures of people.

I want to get a macro lens which magnifies things like flowers, butterflies, ladybugs or whatever you focus on. It looks very cool as a picture.

This was taken with this camera. The poetry on it is one of my poems
