Today I ordered my new camera. It is going to be a Canon 400D.




I am very excited about it. It is my first new camera since I got my Canon EOS 100 way back in the early 90s. I haven't really touched a camera for a long time, but my wife as started a photography business, SlidingFrames Photography and her photos have inspired me to start taking photographs again. Mine will be nothing like hers, despite the fact I love black and white as well. I will be taking a lot more sport shots.

It also give me the incentive to learn Apple's Aperture. I have been watching her use it, but I wanted to learn more and having my own photos to tweak will make that easier and more interesting. Unfortunately the 400d is out of stock for 2 weeks so I won't get to use it for awhile, but I can't wait. I will blog about my experience with my first DSLR, being able to shoot without having to worry about film, and not having to wait for the pictures to come back from the developers. Also, what has to be done to a digital image to make it look good and how Aperture helps in that process.
