I've always enjoyed photography but never had the money to buy myself a decent camera.

This year I decided to find a summer job to save some money for college and to buy myself a camera.

It took me one month of work to buy a solid entry level DSLR. At work, I had time to read books about photography trying to understand things such as ISO, aperture and shutter speed. It helped me a lot and I learned a lot of new technical skills necessary to use a camera.

Finally, I bought a Nikon D3300 DSLR camera. It's been a month now and it was one of the most beautiful months of my life. I was taking shots of my girlfriend, my cat, landscapes, sunsets, flowers and random people (yeah I know that's a little creepy xD).

I think that photography like any other form of art is very subjective but here are some of my beginner tips:

1. Be yourself
2. It's not about big fancy gear
3. Learn about the holy trinity of photography (ISO, shutter speeds, aperture)
4. Get close to the subject (especially if you are taking images of people)
5. Pay attention to the composition (the rule of third is very useful)

I hope you enjoyed my photos. I'd love to hear what you think.
Cheers!
