It is only June, but this summer is already off to an amazing start! I took a Cadillac CTS to Montreal for a couple days, and am in the planning stages of a couple other road trips. It's quite exciting, and I was thinking that one thing that would make my road trips even better would be to be able to capture some great shots. So, last week I made the decision to step my photography game up. Don't get me wrong, I love my iPhone, as you can tell by my ridiculous amount of pics on Instagram, but I've been contemplating on purchasing a DSLR camera for awhile now. On Friday night - I took the plunge!
After some research, I purchased a Canon EOS Rebel T3. I'm a beginner (read: brand-spanking new), so this is a great entry-level camera. The camera is light-weight, and easy to use. I'm still learning all the features, but from playing with it over the weekend, I am incredibly happy with my choice!
Here are some of the Product Features captured from the Best Buy website.

- An Image Rating function makes it easy to sort and quickly play back your photos
- Creative Auto mode lets you change your photos to look exactly how you want them

Now, this camera is not only for road trips - obviously. It's a great investment for capturing so many of life's awesome moments. I'm excited to learn more and share some great shots with all of you!
