What is Photography mean to me.

These days I could see a lot of people own a DSLR camera. I did owned one; a Canon 500D and were really satisfied with the images it produced. It has an 18M resolution and capable to work under a low light condition. Here one of the picture taken using the camera..

I started to involve seriously in photography a year ago and now I got hooked to it and totally addicted. I love to flip through pictures uploaded on Flickr and share ideas with other people of this similar enthusiasm. The main reason I love photography is because I could capture special moments and store them. Like the picture below, you could see an endless happiness of the boy's smile..

There are times, however, when I felt cumbersome to carry around a DSLR so I then decided to get a compact camera. I later bought a Leica Dlux-4 and I am quite impressed with the quality of pictures it produces. Although its relatively expensive price let me down a bit but that did not stop me from owning one. I know the camera model is the same as LX3 but the hefty price tag represents its distinguished brand. I believe everyone wants to have an M9 but not everyone can afford it. At the moment, I am also trying to save a sum of money as much as possible and hopefully one day I could have M9. :) Here is one of the among the earliest pictures I captured using D-lux 4. This simple image managed to attract more than 200 viewers on Flickr and counting.

Recently I also purchased a ten-weeks photography course organised by CreativeLive, the course talks about the fundamental principle of digital photography with John Greengo as the speaker. I am really pleased to join this course because it opens up my mind about photography and teaches me a lot on how to become a better photographer by means of mastering my equipment. I highly recommend this course to all the photographers, especially the beginners. Here, the website creativelive, you can purchase a lot of courses from here.

Last but not least, I also want to share about my favourite magazine called PhotoPlus. Unfortunately, this magazine is dedicated only to Canon users. The best part is when they give away some welcome gifts such as mono pod, camera bag and many more when one subscribes the mag for a year. I love this magazine because the editor manages to provide relevant topics on photography and not being bias when making comments or reviews on equipments, for instance lens, camera and others. Furthermore, the mag also provides a photoshop tutorial on how to edit or improvise digital picture by showing step-by-step editing process. Overall, I love this mag and glad to be a Canon user. Alrighty folks, I have shared my photography knowledge, hope you guys enjoy it and have a nice week ahead!
