Going all the way

The next logical step of course was going SLR…D-SLR to be exact, the maximum level of customizability, now i control almost everything, I got a Nikon D40 – entry level D-SLR – the basic kit of body + 18-55mm lens, eBay is the bomb…I was amazed by the colours and the sharpness of the pictures but a bit disappointed about the size of the photos,being a 6MP camera, after using the 9MP fujifilm and having the bad habit of zooming in a lot on the PC screen, you can notice some pixelation.

Started taking pics all over and I was in love with the 18mm focal length, the wide angle is an amazing perspective, I shall do my best to get a ultra-wide angle lens…for now I will have to settle with the 18-55 and the Sigma APO 70-300mm(eBay again).

Stepping into the light

So i was into the film photography world…i went to a digital crap camera, the next step was unexpected – although logical – to get a good camera, even though i didn`t want a camera a work colleague of mine was selling his after he got a D-SLR…i didn`t want it at first but i got a nice deal on it and said oh…why not.

I got the camera and started taking pictures almost everywhere i went, and i enjoyed it a lot (it is the best bridge camera of its time, even nowadays it beats the crap out of a lot of cameras out there), 9 megapixels, 10.7x zoom 28-300mm fujinon lens, quite a large sensor and kick ass functionality…BUT, all in all it remains a “compact” camera, being limited by its lens most of all.

As i kept reading about photography and seeing other people’s pictures…i started noticing the limits of the camera, some noise on some pictures and so on…that left me craving for more!

The next step

After some years of playing with the old school analogue film camera, my brother got digital camera…it was so different, so much easier to work… it was a Fujifilm MX-2700, the smallest 2.3 MP camera of its time (it`s as large as nowadays entry-level DSLR body or so), it has a smart -media card of 64mb in size and crappy features, but it worked like a charm back then.In time i started taking it almost everywhere with me, took some pictures with it…it was more like a toy then the much more serious old camera(which costed “alot” to use for me as a young, non-working boy), so I guess I didn`t take it that serious and lost my interest in photography…too bad it took so long for me to get back on the horse.

The beginning

It all started with my brother and my uncle back when I was like 6 or so…they both were taking pictures with some old film cameras and developed them in our second bathroom, I was fascinated about how a piece of plastic roll was being put in a cup and stirred together with a chemical solution after which they put it on a projector thingy and projected the image on a piece of paper which they put thru some trays of other chemical solution…and notice how image was starting to show up on the paper…
