my new hobby....

I have always had an interest in photography however it has never really come of anything. I have played with my digitals attempting to make fun shots. The occasional photo will turn out well, but for the most part they are simply added to the ever growing collection of random photos in my library. When I came to Korea

I purchased a new Dslr to help in the development process. To say the least it has been a lot of fun. I am enjoying living and experimenting with my new toy. Nevertheless, there is a lot to taking a good photo. I am just beginning to get the hang of all this photo business. I recently purchased a new Tamron AF17-50mm F.2.8 XR Di II LD Aspherical (can you tell i copied that form the site). Its also a wide angle lens which will work for night shots and buildings. I look forward to get to use it.

My first adventure is night pictures. They are pretty simply in that a tripod is used and it makes for easy photos. Playing with shutter speed and aperture can create a very exciting photo.

For my Taiwan vacation I have been looking into doing night sky photos. This is hard to do and requires a lot of patients. Therefore, I am looking to have a good time trying out some new techniques. I will report back once I have had a try and the night sky. Any recommendations please feel free to forward my direction. They will be most helpful.
