I started out in photography mainly to take good photograph of my kids. I have since (2011) been learning a lot and experimenting with a bunch of different things. I have a Canon 60D with 18-135mm kit lens and a 50mm f/1.8. I absolutely love the Magic Lantern firmware for Canon DSLRs. I love to read the gory details of everything which has helped me a lot to improve my photo taking skills. However, I am still an avid learner.
