Hello everyone,
I just found this site and am looking forward to getting some great advice and enjoying other photogs photos. I've been taking photos seriously since 2008 and started out with a Canon Powershot S5IS advanced point and shoot and worked my way up to a DSLR. I now shoot with a Canon 50D and a couple of lenses. My most treasured lens is my Canon 17-40L. My favorite kind of photography seems to be nature/outdoor/street scenes/architecture. I'm not a potrait/people type of photographer and if I shoot people I prefer to do it in an abstract way with street photography, capturing people doing everyday things. I would also say Im an avid traveler and my wife and I love to travel abroad. My full time profession is working a government job in an office 5 days a week but my love for international travel and photography is a passion and something I will do full time when I can retire in about 12 years.
We are about to head to Europe this Fall for two weeks and I've decided this time around I'm going to leave my heavy DSLR at home and all the equipment and instead just go with a new Advanced Point and Shoot. I'm still researching and it's looking like the Canon SX50 HS is a top choice along with the Canon SX700 both have the reach of at least 750mm which is what I would need for my close ups of the architecture shots I want to get and the quality of shots from both of those cameras are pretty darn good.
I'm looking forward to making new connections here and learning more about photography from fellow photogs.
