It wasn't too long ago that I suddenly started my search for a DSLR. I always loved photography, and had wanted to own a camera too. However, I had figured out that I didn't want a typical point-and-shoot. Neither did I ever have the moolah to invest in a DSLR. So, I waited. I waited till I could achieve nirvana.

After lot of deliberations and debates with close friends, I finally ended up buying a NIKON D5100. My original choice was a D3100 since it was priced lower. And yet, I ended up choosing the D5100 because I realized I'd outgrow the D3100 pretty quickly.

Today, I try to carry my camera everywhere I go, in search for a couple of good shots. It's happened that I might have gotten only 4-5 worthy shots out of a batch of 100+, it still seemed worthwhile, every single time.

With time, photography has become not just my hobby, but a passion too. I read a lot. And shoot even more. A couple of weeks ago, I also discovered the joy of post-processing my photos. That entails all the more learning. Nonetheless, I am loving the experience.
