Photography

Photography is the best thing that has happened to me so far in my life. It has given me an oppurtunity to enjoy the "small" things which I used to ignore before. So far the journey has been great and I'm sure its going to get better. You can see some of my work at http://www.flickr.com/photos/sakthi/

I picked up photography as hobby early 2006 when I was working at Mysore Infosys. I started out with a Canon A700 Point and shoot. Soon I realized the need for a DSLR if I need to take photography seriously. So after the initial research found the most common problem everyone confronts, "Nikon or Canon". Well, I had no clue what to chose initially, my P&S was a Canon make and was happy with it I would have bought a Canon DSLR. But, Instead I took the advice of my friend and picked my Nikon D80 around August 2006. I don't regret my pruchase so far; Nikon feels good in my hand :).
