Wonderful Explorations...

I read quite a few magazines, online photography tutorials, e-books and it got me facinated with the world of a photography. I started to see things that I hardly ever think about to see. Yeah, framing of a pictures and how to get the dof (depth of field) so that my pictures will be standing out and sharp. It's not that easy as I thought it would be and really need to have the individual styles to get out from the norms.

Alrite, I'll be snapping away!

Building the Foundation...

I've been spending some time with my Nikon BFF to build the needed foundation on photography. I never thought there would be so many things for me to learn, aperture, shutter speed, ISO, Manual Focus this and that... I would say it's interesting!

Not only that, I will need to learn and practice the shooting and as well as post processing. As for the shooting, I will need to know how to frame the pictures, need to make sure my lens is my eye... my 3rd eye... hahahaha.

As for post processing, of coz have to re-learn my Photoshop (yes, re-learn I used it few years back then stop coz too busy with life and work) and even Lightroom. All from the famous Adobe!

Other than that... read, practice, read, practice!

My 1st photography with Nikon D5000

Getting a 1st DSLR

I've been reading quite a few forum and got to know some really do ask the same question on my mind. Which DSLR suitable for a noob or those who want to move up to DSLR from point-and-shoot camera.

Here is my guide, I'm new and experienced it. Hope you'll get some ideas out of it.

1. Talk to your photographer friend.
2. Borrow a DSLR from ur photographer friend so that you get a feel of owning one.
3. Read reviews (dpreview/steves-digicams/etc), lots of them and drill to a camera that match your needs and personalities.
4. Pay some visits to your local camera shop, see the camera for yourself. Hold it, feel it and try it out.
5. Try to get the best bargain or better still get ur photographer friend bring you to his fav camera shop. (U can enjoy the member's price)
6. Once you got it, play with it and enter to a new zone where you'll get better quality and control of your pictures.
7. Lastly, enjoy it and share it with your friends.
8. Another last word, since it's a quality pictures why not earn money with it? Google for Microstock photography and you'll know what I mean.

I will blog about Microstock photography as well, stay tuned. :)

New BFF!

I just got to know my BFF, and never thought we are so clicked! As soon as we met, we became close, so close until I think about her every now and then. How should I care for her, how should I treat her, hope I won't hurt her for I want to her to remain as my BFF!

Here's how I'll describe her...
She has a beautiful solid and flexible body (in another word, she is sexy), she is multi-talented and her life is ever so colorful!

How we met? Well, I've been stalking her for quite sometime. I check out her website, read thru her blog, see her pictures, she was HOT! I got to know from my friend that his friend know her, so quickly I get my friend to introduced me to her. As soon as we met, we were so clicked! Just as simple as that... but it cost me a lot to have her as a BFF. I've to spend RM2948 just to bring her home! I can tell you, it worth every cents of that RM2948.

Who is this person that I sound so lesbian about? Well worry not, I'm straight! She is Nikon D5000 my new BFF. :)

I'm still new to DSLR photography but this BFF of mine, helped me a lot! I'll try to upload some pictures when I'm ready, stay tuned. :)
