2 years ago today

the obsession began in earnest :) I got my DSLR exactly 2 years ago today, almost to the very minute of this posting. I picked it up at circuit city, came back home and took it out of the box, and then headed straight to our favorite park for the sunset. It happened to be, in my opinion, one of the top 10 most gorgeous sunsets of all time. A lot has gone on since then, I have come a long way from shooting everything in manual and at ISO 1600! I am still enjoying it, still somewhat obsessed, and looking forward to seeing (and photographing) many more beautiful sunsets.

I have taken over 35,000 pictures since that day. They weren't all keepers, but they were all teaching me something.

Happy cameraversary. :)

35,000 already? You know cameras have a shutter life, right? :) (Seriously, though, they are built for around 50K shutter releases, I think... time to start saving up for your next one!)

This one is definitely a keeper. It is strikingly beautiful.

That is one gorgeous sunset. It will be especially hard to replace.
I love taking pictures and if you have to have an obession, at least it's beautiful.
