Photography was one of the thing that I've discovered a few years back. Back then where got thing call digital camera?? What is digital camera and how it looked like I also dunno.
I first got my camera when I was working in Informatics. It was a Canon Prima Zoom, if I'm not mistaken. I bought it in 2001 with my second salary. Fascinated by beautiful photos and pictures, I took a lot of photos too but then since it's a film camera, a lot of money was required to develop the negative. Bad point huh..
Then, I upgraded myself to a digital camera in 2002 with Canon Powershot A70. It has been my darling ever since. I took it almost anywhere with me even though it's kinda bulky. It has been very loyal to me until year 2006 when it begun to show me symptoms of getting sick. The screen started to display errantically and sometimes it blanked out. I took it to Canon hospital for quite a number of times until the technician also said there's no more hope..:(
So, what do I do..I got myself another digital camera, more compact one this time. Canon Ixus 800 IS. It's cute, compact, light and not so bulky as my Powershot. Of course, the functions are not so great though. I let my Powershot rest in peace and now brought along my Ixus everywhere I go. Still not satisfied with the functions of my Ixus and encouraged by my photography friends, I bought another gadget, a DSLR, Canon EOS 350D. True Canon fan huh?? Haha..
Ever since I got my SLR, I found out that I can do a lot with it, however, I'm lacking of certain gears. I only have the standard kit lens and a 90-300mm zoom lens with me. No filters nor appropriate tripod to go with it yet. Photography is indeed a very expensive hobby huh? Still lousy in handling the SLR but I do encouraged comments and critics or any improvement guide for my photographs. Do view my photos at this address: http://alnpng.multiply.com/

ur telephoto lens.. will be quite soft when u focus past the 200mm...
i went to the talk given by John W. Ishii, he says... every photographer must have 3 lens...
12-24mm, 17-55mm and 50-200mm lens or equivalent... as long as it can cover those range...
There's this canon 50mm f1.8 lens selling super cheap.. around rm300 or less... it is a very very sharp n good lens... somemore it is super cheap... the only problem is... can only take at 50mm :D
then also... try to get a UV filter... just to "protect" ur lens... then... i read from the Digital Camera Magazine... get a CPL filter... Circular Polarizer Lens Filter...... that can help alot in taking scenery photos... :D
if u wan macro lens.. go for the Tamron 90mm SP... 1:1 macro... and it is selling around RM 1350 or less now... :D
Cool information there Devil..I just recently got myself CPL and another 2nd hand UV filter. As for the extra lenses, shall get it next time when my budget permits. I will be looking for a lens that's suitable for light travelling.
