*Exhale*
I've been trying to semi-seriously pursue photography for about 4 1/2 years now. I started out with a Canon G2 and a 420EX (see, even back then I knew about the importance of a good flash!) and now I've "graduated" to the big-boy (well, for me anyway) 20D. I've always disliked having to use flash; I tried to use natural light whenever I could. I always hated the way flash photos looked, even when bouncing the flash off the ceiling I wasn't entirely happy with the results.
And then I stumbled upon the Strobist.
What's that, you ask? Take a look here. The results that these photogs were able to get simply by using small camera flashes was absolutely amazing. I was hooked and I had to learn more. After reading many of the posts and tutorials on his site, I finally decided to take the plunge and give this whole lighting thing a shot. I thought it'd be interesting to blog about my experience learning how to control the lighting in my photos and hopefully one day be able to look back and see how much I've improved.
Either that, or look back and remind myself of that fall when I ended up wasting a bunch of money on my hobby ;-)
Here's to hoping it's the former!
