I know. I know. I wasn't going to buy a camera until May in my plan, but financially speaking, we were ready and I wanted to get as much practice as possible. Plus, with all the books and online tutorials I've been reading, I knew a lot about the academic side of photography, but had almost no real hands-on work (except for my point and shoot camera). There was another plus side as well...I had my new camera to take pictures at the waterpark this weekend.
I'm working on reading the camera manual. By the way, I did buy the Nikon D3100 that came with an 18-55mm lense, an additional Nikon 70-300mm lense. Then I bought a Cannon bag because I liked it the best. My total bill came to $1200. This is definitely not a cheap hobby (or profession for that matter)! I've actually taken quite a few pictures of the family and some other shots I think might be good for microstock. Now I just have to figure out which photo editing program to use and I might end up trying to find an online tutorial to build my own photo studio with lighting.
