I have never thought of photography as a hobby for me. Maybe because it has been my mother's domain. She can take great pictures with the simplest of cameras without knowing anything about composition and exposure. I have an interest in graphic design and web design, so naturally, I wanted to learn some basic skills in Adobe Photoshop. That led me to discover Lightroom and I became curious about working with photos, particularly working with colors to improve photos or give them a certain mood. After some months of thinking, I bought myself a Panasonic GX-9. It is a rangefinder-style camera with interchangeable lenses. I am saving money for other things, but it was a good deal that I just could not pass.

I am still learning the basics of using different apertures and shutterspeed. I have bought a used 25 mm 1.7 prime lens (equivalent of 50 mm on a full frame camera) in addition to the kit lens that was included with the camera.
Here's a picture I took recently of an old fire engine. I recropped it and added some vignetting.

Thank you for these suggestions. I have added thesm to my reading list.Two books really helped me. Both by Bryan Peterson. One is Understanding Exposure, the other Understanding Composition. Understanding Composition is a fantastic book and applies to all cameras. If you want to take better pictures it's a great read.
