Photography
I’m exploring the world of amateur photography with my trusty Nikon D60 dSLR. I’ve put a few of my favorite pictures on flickr.

I see the art of photography as the knowledge and skill to bring together the right subject, lighting, and composition to create an image that grabs your attention and tells a story.
My goal is to be able to get these kinds of shots using only the camera. Not just snap a picture and fix it later in Photoshop. Some folks, like these, call is Straight Out Of the Camera (SOOC).
Now, some would argue that this is really splitting hairs, since digital cameras have very sophisticated metering systems to get the exposure right, and provide control over things like White Balance, Saturation, Sharpness, etc., like an image editor. Some digital cameras even have limited post-processing capabilities.
Well, I say … gimme a break, I’m still learning here - I need all the help I can get!
