Intro to Photography: RTI Boat Race '12

To be cropped...

Hey guys,

So something that I have been yet to share with you is my passion for photography. Although it seems like most people these days are photographers with iPhone, other mobile phone camera's becoming so good and  Instagram (follow me!! ;) link in the side bar). I have been one of those.... But it has helped me, because I realised that some of the photography I love best is the pictures of everyday life but seen in a different way. For me, this is incredibly special. It debates with how you see the world. And it made me notice all the beauty in little things. Such as when I'm walking back from the main bit of town in the evening I see the moon shine, split into a triangle by 2 clouds. The problem is when I see these is that I only ever have my iPhone, and although it's a great camera(especially since recently I got the iPhone 4s), it doesn't capture everything perfectly. So, my self set mission is to take the Canon(EOS 550D) out more often, on normal occasions. I am still learning with Photography, well yet to learn really... I haven't ever been taught, just read most of the manual. I am currently scouring the internet and learning more about exposure... etc and all the basics.

And with that said, I wanted to share some of my favourites from a boat race that I went to earlier this year. (The Round The Island Boat Race 2012, IOW) if you were wondering... I'm hoping to do more of these  posts as I take more photos and share some that I have previously taken. Also, keep in mind that these are unedited, as I haven't taken the time to learn my Photoshop Elements yet!!

Let me know if you did/didn't enjoy this type of post and I will try and do more/less of them.
