I got my first Canon DSLR in December,2006 but I seldom use it.Most of the time,I was using my Panaonic FX8.I took the easy way out.No need to learn complex photography techniques using DSLR.Anyway,the DSLR was in auto mode for at least five years before I began to shoot in program or manual mode.My learning curve was almost flat during that period.However,when I got my 50mm prime(lent by Nazley) to use with my Canon 400D,my photography started to improve a lot.By sheer good luck,I managed to sell a few of my photos to advertisers.
In March,2013 a kind soul gave me a present -Fujifilm X-T1.This camera was a God sent because I got it about two weeks after my Canon 400D died due to old age.XT1 inspires and motivates me to learn more on how to take better photos.What is better photo?Everyone has his own version of great photos,but for me it must have meaning and/or also have a story.Composition is very important.Looking back to the last five years,most of my photos are just snapshots in which objects appeared some where in the frame.
Good photos are photos OF something.In some cases,the emotions are included in the photos.In a few cases,they photo tells its own story!
The above three photos have one common denominator-beauty.How did I get these shots have their own stories.However,each one means a lot to me in a very different way.The second photo means a lot more to me.She is my first grand daughter.
