Digital Photography: 2011 (continued)

2011 Began the first year of my high resolution digital photography journey. Some time during December 2010, I purchased a Canon EOS 7-D digital camera from a Best Buy in Pensacola Florida while I was stationed at the Naval Air Station. In January 2011, I began to shoot photographs. This post includes all my best work from that first year as I taught myself how to use my camera for the first time.  Please understand that I have watermarked them for a reason. They are NOT for use beyond this page! If you are interested in any of these images then by all means contact me and I would be happy to arrange something. I of course have all the original files for these photos.

My first High quality digital photographs: 2011


2011 Began the first year of my high resolution digital photography journey. Some time during December 2010, I purchased a Canon EOS 7-D digital camera from a Best Buy in Pensacola Florida while I was stationed at the Naval Air Station. In January 2011, I began to shoot photographs.

1st Photographs: Pensacola, Florida


When I was first learning how to use my new camera, I took many test shots that no longer exist. Some of them I still have but only a handful made the cut for this blog.


 "Moon Glow Haze"


Early on, I had no system of organizing my photographs so I lost some images. One of which was the original filtered JPEG for this image I took on Jan. 15th 2011. I only possess the watermarked version I posted to my facebook page and the original unedited image.
