One of these days, I'm going to steal my brother and make him be my very first photoshoot subject so I can get in some more practice. (You know how 15-year-old boys are.)
I've been using a Canon PowerShot SD750. It's a remarkable camera, and the photographs come out lovely (and even more so after being edited, which is rapidly becoming another interest of mine). But it is still a point-and-shoot. It's awesome for every-day activities, but not ideal for professionalism. I've had my eyes on a Canon Rebel XTi. (I like Canons, FYI in case you didn't know. Haha.) The results of that DSLR are amazing, and once I sweep up enough money to get one for my own, I'll be elated beyond understanding.
Anyhow, I had plenty of photography experience/practice this past week. My family and I took a cruise around the Caribbean on Royal Caribbean's Liberty of the Seas. (What a ship.) I got some interesting shots, and edited my first photographs with the provided Canon software.
Photobucket has been trying to leak some trojans on my computer lately (through advertisements), and that's currently where I store all my photos online, so I've been seeking out some other photo-dump sites. I'm on Flickr, but I'm not willing to pay for an account. It's been quite a search, but I haven't given up hope, yet.
Perhaps I'll dump a few photos in here later for constructive criticism and (hopefully) enjoyment?
