Photography on North Campus

Even though my father was a lifelong shutterbug, for some reason I never took up photography myself until I got my first digital camera—a 7mp Canon Powershot S70. I was instantly hooked on the immediacy of the results and the ability to frame an image using the LCD screen on the back of the camera. Eventually I decided I was going to have to take the plunge and acquire a DSLR in order to get an image stabilizing lens, a better flash, and the ability to use a wide-angle lens for architectural photos. In November I came across an offer I didn't want to refuse from Canon, and I purchased the 15mp EOS Rebel T1i with the 18-55mm kit lens with a telephoto lens essentially thrown in for free. The camera has more settings and modes than I will normally use, but suffice to say it's been a lot of fun to use so far. I'll be putting up a some new image galleries soon in the Photography section, and here are a couple of shots from among them.
