It’s official: I’m really into photography as a hobby right now :), proven with my recent purchase… I just upgraded my\u00a0old camera<\/a>, to a Nikon D7000<\/a>, and WOW, what an upgrade!<\/p>\n

Nikon D7000 – unboxed on April 5 2012<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Now I finally have auto exposure bracketing (for much easier HDR images)! Even though \u00a0this camera makes HDR really easily, I’m sort-of glad my first DSLR(D3100) did\u00a0not<\/em><\/span>\u00a0have AEB, as this taught me to really<\/em>\u00a0plan out my HDR images; not everything should be overly processed. Still, I’m super excited about an easier way to get bracket photos.<\/p>\n

Also, I’ll admit that I never really used Manual mode on the D3100, and spent most of the time shooting Auto \ud83d\ude41 , with a little bit on\u00a0Aperture\u00a0priority or Shutter priority.\u00a0Transitioning\u00a0to the D7000, I am making it a point to almost exclusively use Manual<\/em> mode on this camera, as a good way to get better at learning photography (probably what I should have done a year ago).<\/p>\n

^ I should point out this camera has TWO rotary dials: one for aperture and the other for shutter speed, which I love and have already found invaluable in Manual mode. ^<\/p>\n

This camera makes me happy. There are many new features of the D7000 I have yet to discover, and l am excited about the learning experience ahead! As always, keep an eye on these albums for new photos: \u00a0 Google+<\/a>\u00a0 \u00a0| \u00a0500px<\/a><\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n
