New Gear - Nikon D40x
17.08.07Filed Under: General
This week, I got a new gear - Nikon D40x. I hesitate to say this but yes, I got this from my father as gift. It’s been a dream of having a DSLR, because before that I was using the compact camera which served me well for 3 years, and I found that it is quite restricted in terms of flexibility. DSLR had been in my wish list since last year, and finally I can remove it from the list, thanks a lot.
Although I used a SLR before in school, but I was total noob in DSLR. I had been practicing holding and shooting by using the Auto Mode. I yet to completely understand this camera because I’m just flipping through the first few page of the manuals. The manual or the programmable mode is all the one I want to learn.
Been expecting bad picture shooting in the beginning but hopefully I can improve step by step and be a good image capturer. Still a long way to go… Well, practice make perfect, starts shooting tomorrow!
And I think I shall sign up for Flickr account

August 19th, 2007 at 9:05 pmCongrats! Don’t worry about studying photography before playing with your new toy, one of the best ways to learn is just going out there and just playing with it. Once you get used to a DSLR, you never want to go back to a digital point-and-shoot camera
