PHOTOGRAPHY. what is it with Photography at maraming tao ang nahuhumaling sa ganitong hobby? nagtanong ako kay pareng webster at mareng wikipedia pero lubhang napakalalim ng kanilang mga sagot, medyo scientific at technical ang explanation kaya hindi ko na isusulat dito dahil baka ma-boring lang kayo.. anyway, nagpa-imbestiga ako kay Google at eto ang nakalap nya.. medyo marami siyang inilatag na impormasyon so i will just make it concise based on what i understand.

 
‘”Photography is a powerful means of communication and a mode of visual expression that touches human life in every ways. Most photographs taken today are snapshots –casual records to document personal events such as vacations, birthdays, and weddings. For most people, photography is a satisfying hobby or a rewarding career. “
  

satisfying hobby? uhmmm, maybe.. maybe not.. i still dont know… i will answer this question in due time… kung bakit? dahil isa ako sa mga taong nahikayat pasukin ang libangan na ito pero ako ay nagsisimula pa lang.. isa po akong neophyte… i decided to explore this art to add esteem to my blogs and to document my travel adventures… it will be the perfect combo to entertain readers of this site…

now as a photo enthusiast, i need a weapon to accompany me in this new journey.. and my weapon of choice - the Canon EOS 450D…  i just bought one last 12th of June 2008,  1st day of PC Show in Suntec City Singapore… it took me sometime before i decided to spoil my money for this gadget… i spent hours and hours of research through the internet (ginagawa ko ito during office hours, hehehe…) to find the best suitable camera for a beginner like me and to equip myself with the basic know-how when it comes to photography…

 
anyway, i am not here to lecture about photography… i just want to share that this is not a money friendly hobby… the camera kit alone costs 1.5K SGD (around PHP 45,000.00)… and it doesnt stop there.. if you really want to be serious in this field, one must be financially capable in feeding your camera with accessories ranging from lenses to filters and flashes and a lot more… well, for me, i will just keep it as a hobby, mahirap na at baka mabaon lang ako sa utang dahil sa pagbili ng mga nagmamahalang accessories lalo na ang mga lenses… hehehe… siguro kapag natutunan ko na lahat ng mga dapat kong matutunan, i can shift from a novice to an amateur to a professional photographer.. who knows? baka mag-iba na lang ako ng career kapag nangyari iyon.. hehehe.. anyway, matagal pa yon… let us take things one step at a time… currently, nasa getting to know each other pa lang kami ng camera ko so i am still in the elementary level..

 
so sa mga shutterbugs dyan… please welcome me to your club, i hope we can share tips, techniques and ideas… and for those who are planning to make this as a past time.. uhmmm.. test the waters before dragging yourself in it.. baka mamaya hindi nyo calling ang hobby na ito, masayang lang ang pera ninyo… in any case, it is still you who will decide… as long as you are enjoying it, go for it…

happy shooting! :o)
