My New Hobby

I just recently bought a new digital camera because I've always loved photography. It's a Canon Rebel XTi. This is only an entry level SLR camera but I think it will suit my purposes perfectly. Currently, I'm still learning how to use the features it offers. I like the way the photos turn out without the flash on but you have to be really steady on the hands for the picture to turn out clear. I can see myself get better with every shot but there is still a lot to learn. Hopefully, I can make photography a life-long hobby. Who knows, maybe one day my shots can end up on the cover of a magazine (yea right!) The picture above is of my girlfriend and my little yorky.

I'm thinking about maybe taking a couple photography courses at a local community college. I want to learn everything there is to know about photography. The one thing I've always wondered was why photographers always use that horror-movie-like red light in the dark room to develop the pictures? I'm pretty sure there's a good explanation for it. I'm just too lazy to look it up on google :)

Here's a picture of my new camera.
