Photos from My Walk Home - Feb 20

In other words, a pro either already has the camera they want, or it's on their wish list. So, for those who ask me what camera to get, I will recommend a camera with manual, shutter priority, and aperture priority modes. If they can learn those settings on any camera, they can make some decent photos and appreciate better gear.  But, getting down to the nitty gritty, I recomme...
