I'm going mad about camera.

Actually I hadn't been interested in photography before I lost my digital camera when I was in Kaosan, Bangkok. I had uesed Nikon Coolpix 2500. It was a really well made point&shoot camera, so I had been able to use it happily and never thought about buying a new camera. However, after I've came back to Korea, a camera was needed. I didn't want to buy a new camera and frankly speaking I didn't have enough money to buy a new one. Suddenly that there was my father's old film camera flashed on me. I rushed at the cabinet and found Canon G3 Ql-17. It is a beautiful rangefinder. It's about 30 years old. I was fallen in love with it at the first glance. That was just a beginning of passion for classic cameras and photography.

I started to study photography because I didn't know how to control manual cameras and wanted to take a wonderful picture with my camera. It was hard to understand exposure, f stops, framing, guide number and so on. But the fact that I could not only shoot a snapshot but also take a photogragh was fascinating!

As I've studied more and more photography, I'm wanting to buy a SLR camera, various lenses, filters, etc. To tell the truth, I've purchased 1 lense and lot of filters at Ebay. Furthermore, I'm bidding for other lenses, flash, motor drive and accessaries. I will buy a SLR camera with standard 50mm 1:1.4 lense tomorrow. This is what I want to buy.

I've spent a lot of time and money (app. $300) but I'm happy because I will be able to study, practice photography more and take fantastic photographs of my girlfriend, family, friends and beautiful landscapes. What an exciting hobby to enjoy, isn't it?
