I have picked up photography as a hobby this summer after having purchased a DSLR with my summer job money.

Before diving in head-first, I made sure to learn about photography, the mechanics, how to use a camera and how to compose an image. I followed [Mark Levoy's course](https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL7ddpXYvFXspUN0N-gObF1GXoCA-DA-7i) on photography he teaches at Stanford, and read various blogs and websites of which Roger N. Clark's website about different types of photography, [Clarkvision.com](https://clarkvision.com/galleries/) was an excellent resource.

Hereafter is an example of some of the best pictures I have taken so far, all posted to [my Flickr Page](https://www.flickr.com/photos/148309258@N07/)
