Behind the Camera

I have been having a great time with my Canon EOS 30D taking photos of everything. I wanted a dSLR camera not only for taking better quality photos than my point and shoot digital camera, but also to take myself more seriously about taking photos. I noticed a few weeks ago at Tricia's dance recital that after it was over parents were taking photos all over the theater of their children which made it so that people were accidentally walking in front of photos being taken. I also noticed that no one dared walk in front of the professional photographer with her obviously larger camera than everyone else. There is something about having a large camera that says I am a serious photographer, don't step into my shot.
