Not to bore the hell out of people with yet-another-oh-i've-discovered-photography page on the internet, this is primarily:

• A general equipment guide (Canon-specific).
• A guide on getting started with DSLRs, gently stepping up from point-and-shoot digital cameras (or film SLRs).
• Where to buy, and how to buy camera equipment without getting ripped off.
• What to do with your pictures (transferring, processing, printing and sharing) once you have them.

A few friends have asked me (usually after they see one of the scrapbooks Heather likes to put together) how they can jump from their little soap bar cameras to a DSLR system. The most common questions revolve around what equipment to start with without spending a fortune and how to step up from that once they are ready. I hope I've answered those to a certain extent here.

Once on the road to higher imaging, I find these resources to be helpful, in terms of techniques, processing and so on:


Enjoy!
