New Toy for Angie

Brian bought a camera from his dad (below) before we met and I'm really interested in figuring out how to use it and take good pictures. He has a wide angle lens and a telephoto lens that I'm trying to figure out how to use. I haven't ever used anything but a point-and-shoot camera, so trying to decipher the manual and books has been "intersting." Figuring out f-Stop, apperature, depth of field, etc. has been challenging. If you know anything about photography, please feel free to contact me.

I found a photography class at the Aurora Parks & Rec for $50. This class will teach owners of digital, automatic or manual cameras. The class is 2 hours every Thursday night (7-9pm) for 4 weeks.


The Canon AE-1 (1981) was the first 35mm SLR camera to be controlled solely via a built-in Central Processing Unit (CPU) and made SLR photography avaialble to beginners and amateurs at a reasonable prices - with a record of over 5 million units been sold worldwide, the success of which firmly established Canon as the leader in camera innovations.
