That saying ”everyone with a DSLR Camera is not a photographer”, I considered myself one of them. I am not a Photographer but I love photography. I considered myself a beginner student in the field of photography. My interest in photography drives me to buy a DSLR Canon Camera EOS 1100D with an EF 18-55mm Canon Lens.
I am amazed to have such gadget although I don't have any knowledge. The store had already attached the lens to the body and told me to read the manual how to use it. So when I arrived home I was so excited, opened the box and took the manual, unfortunately, it was written in the Russian language, and by that time I don't understand Russian. There was an English version but the letters are too small and I don't have a magnifying glass. I put the manual back to the box, turn on the Camera and set to auto mode. I started shooting photographs using auto mode. The only technique I know is point and shoot. I made tons of trials and errors. Keeping the one I think looks good and deleting the bad ones. I photographed anything. Because I was not yet familiar with the buttons of the DSLR Camera my photos are all in JPEG format. It was later that I learned that there is also Raw format to retain more data. When we moved to another house my memory card where I saved my first photographs were lost. Thanks to google photos some were restored.
Honestly speaking I am a slow learner, up to this moment I am still learning basic photography. I have little time having practice taking photos because I have other works to do. So as I go through my learning and practice, I will try to write my experiences although I am not a writer because of my poor English composition of words and grammar, maybe those who are starting also with a DSLR will learn from my mistakes. It is a self-learning, I will do read articles which are related to photography, watch videos in youtube and do more PRACTICE.....
