Deepening into Photography: a new beginning

8th May 2010 in Photography Tags: book, nikon, passion, photo

I always liked to take pictures but I never thought about doing it seriously. Just recently I understood how the use of great photography is important in web design: an image is worther than a thousand words.

Being able to take and manipulate pictures is a great bonus skill that will help me to transmit emotions more effectively in my designs.

Here begins my adventure in photography. This new passion makes me excited, so much that I wonder why I've never realized it before. Maybe I was just not enough mature or I didn't have enough energy to start a new activity. Who knows? The only thing I know is that I like it, It excites me and I've decided to invest my money and my time in it.

In the rest of this post I want to show you my brand new equipment and the books I've bought at Foyles in London

Nikon D5000

I think this is a great camera for me to start.

Nikon 18-105mm VR

I chose this one instead of the standard 18-55 mm.
