AAHHH!!! I can’t contain my joy! I’m supposed to put off this post until I learn more about taking pictures… but… I can’t hold these emotions.
I GOT THE CAMERA!
(Yup, that quick!) It’s actually been months of thinking about it before I posted it here. Your words of encouragement gave me that last push to finally just do it! I love you, guys!
I’m soooo happy and excited!!!
I did some test shots earlier today around the city I work in… I have so much to learn (technical terms, manual settings, etc), but I am really looking forward to it.
It was sunset, so it got dark. Haha! Tell me what you guys think. (and maybe share some tips for overly enthusiastic beginners in photography like me) ❤
Special thanks to the following bloggers for helping me make this decision! ❤

I love this post! It’s great to see your enthusiasm 😁 I did a open university course a few years ago on digital photography and bought a SLR camera afterwards. Photography is just the best hobby…and if you can make it as a pro, all the better 😊 Your photogs are seriously brilliant.😊👍😘

I am so proud of you! You are off to a great start:) I love the perspective shots, I am partial to them actually. That’s the kind of pictures I take too. There are tons of youtube videos available to help you on your way. I can’t wait to see how you begin to develop your own style!
