I've been taking digital photos since 1998, and I've enjoyed expanding my knowledge, experience, and equipment since then. In August 2008, I bought a digital SLR camera, the Canon Rebel XSi (this camera is also called the Canon 450D). I'm happy with the performance aspects of this camera and lenses. There is much to learn. I record what I learn in my photography notebook, which covers topics like Camera Choice, Lenses, F number, Filters, Shots, Workflow, Points, Supplies, Utility Kit, Books, Link,s Crop Factor, and Lingo.
