Hello, my name is Shaun. I live in Falls Church, VA. I am pretty new to taking pictures that people want to buy. I recently purchased my first serious camera, a Canon EOS 40D w/ a 50mm 1.8 lense.
I became involved in photography because of my best friend, he has been taking pictures for years. His captures are amazing, and I have followed in his shadow for a while. When he decided to upgrade his camera he offered to sell his camera body. I jumped at this chance. The ability to take photos and show the world how I see it was something I always wanted to do. Not that my point of view is any good, but it is unique enough that a person or two could probably have an interesting conversation for a few hours about. With the thoughts of photo grandeur on the way, I set out to purchase a lens. If you have never researched lens, then you may not understand the massive world of knowledge that exist out there. I was finally able to decide on a good basic lens that every photographer should have. Canon's 50m 1.8 lens was the winner.
Now I have new lens new camera, time to start taking shots. I practice with the lens and the camera to figure out what all the little gadgets, settings, and features would do. It is all rather exciting each time you go to take a shot. The excitement of finding out what you have finally captured. So the adventure begins.
