I succumbed to temptation and got an entry level DSLR - the Canon EOS 550D - and I'm loving it!
Pictures just turn out so much better, and I can achieve the blurred background effect that I always wanted!
I'm still trying to get a hang of all the technicalities, but I believe I can conquer it! I've decided to use one type of function on the camera until I master it, and move on to the next.
Some test shots I took with the camera....
I got the blurred background effect! Yay! :)
Another go at the blurred background thing!
The Baked Spaghetti Bolognaise in Swensen's....hmmm...the picture composition can be improved.
Another dish from Swensen's - the Fried Rice with Soft Shell Crab. This shot was hurriedly taken because Mom couldn't wait to dig in!
Hopefully, my picture composition skills will improve over time, and I can take pictures like ladyironchef! But first, I have to get used to lugging a much bigger camera and take pictures openly in public. I'm still very self conscious carrying the DSLR, and hope I can find a smaller and more glam camera bag soon!
