The Last Swing

Welcome to my new blog Images by Victoria.  I have always been fascinated by photography but never had the equipment to delve into it the way I wanted to.  I have much to learn so I value your opinions of photos posted and how I can improve.  My goal is to share what I learn as I go with others who may be new to photography as well.

My First DSLR Camera

For years I have longed to own a SLR camera.  We would look at them and I would come close to getting one, but after much thought over the prices I would soon change my mind. 

My husband surprised me this year with a Canon EOS Rebel T3 1100D.  This is an entry level camera so it is more affordable for anyone just entering into photography. 

Whats in the box:

• EOS Rebel T3 Body (black model shown here)
• EF-S 18-55mm f/3.5-5.6 IS Type II Lens
• Eyecup Ef (not shown)
• Wide Strap EW-200DB
• Interface Cable IFC-130U
• Battery Pack LP-E10
• Battery Charger LC-E10
• EOS Digital Solution Disk and Instruction Manuals "Great Photography is Easy" Booklet and "Do More with Macro" Booklet (not shown)

The purchase Price $479 for the Canon Rebel T3 Kit. For more information on this camera you can go here.

I purchased my Canon EF 75-300 Telephoto Zoom Lens for $199.00.  Fairly cheap for a zoom lens but it received pretty good reviews and it works really well for what I want to do with it.  For more information on the EF 75-300 Telephot Zoom Lens click here.  As I find more equipment I will post it.

Now it is time to start my new adventure.  I hope you will tag along with me as I learn new techniques.
