Photography from 2005

Photography from 2005

2005 was my transition from the Toshiba to a Panasonic Lumix DMC-FZ5. The Toshiba camera broke sometime during the year and I was without a camera for a period of time. I'm not sure exactly when I purchased the Panasonic, but I think it was toward the end of the year. The Lumix was a serious upgrade from the Toshiba. It had a 10x optical zoom which allowed me to get a lot closer to things that would have run away otherwise. The image quality also doubled, so I was able to do more with my photographs when it came to things like cropping.

I still was not at the point where I thought I was a decent photographer. (Heck, I still don't) I considered it to be a hobby. I had no direction and no knowledge on how to compose a good shot. Still, I guess I got lucky on occasion.
