Hello, here's my obligatory newbie intro post!
I love film, and use a Craigslist special Canon AE-1 for that. However, my need for instant gratification drove me to purchase a new DSLR just yesterday, so I figured I'd refocus myself on my hobby. My previous dslr was a Canon T3i. It was just fine for my needs, I'm definitely a beginner. Thing is, it was just too bulky. I heard a quote once that says the very best camera is the one you have with you. And I never carried that thing with me. This time, I went with the Sony A6000. It was so strange to make the leap to a mirrorless system, it just feels so different from the 'traditional' dslrs from Canon or Nikon. But I can shove it in my purse. That's something I just can't do with the bulkier cameras. I was afraid I was buying a glorified point and shoot. But as I play with it more, I'm pretty sure its a gem.
I'm interested in learning about both the technical and creative side of things, and I can see that there are lots of great photographers here that I can learn from!
