I love photography, even more now that I have my kids as my “main subjects”. Cory surprised me years ago at Christmas-time with a new, fancy camera – my first digital DSL, a Canon Rebel Xsi. I loved it; it took much better quality photographs (even if I still shot in “auto” mode) and the delay time between shots was drastically reduced.
After doing a bunch of reading online, blogs & photography forums, I finally decided what I was going to purchase with the money I had received at Christmas this year – a flash! I personally prefer the look of “natural lighting” photography without flash, but in reality that is not always the setting you get to work with when trying to capture little boys driving their trucks in the kitchen or running around in their PJs. I knew the on-board flash of my camera is harsh and that if I upgraded to a Speedlight, I could remain shooting in “auto” mode and still see improvement in my picture quality. So I splurged!
I LOVE it! It is one of my best purchases yet & I can already tell the huge difference it is making in quite a few of my photos.
(I would love the chance to take a photography class one day & learn more about my camera and get out of “auto” mode – it truly is a goal of mine.)
