The first time that I used a camera was when me & my gf went to HK and we bought a dummy camera which means those instance camera and film in one set. To our horror, the only photo that look really nice was the one taken by a stranger for both of us. The rest of photos are either blurred or we are too small to see us. LOL.
Then when I went to Seoul, my auntie lent me her normal Olympus which I believe I took like one or two rolls of film. From there I start to like to take photos and realised that it always look nice when we wear red for photoshooting :P
The first digital camera that I had was a Pansonic FX7. It is a good camera especially when u take portraits photo. Somehow you just look like you have a smoother skin or a slimmer body ...lol . I must said that I liked the camera a lot but I hate the fact that the battery always flat too easily and I have this urge to change it to Canon when I saw my friend's photo using her Canon.
So last year's birthday, I bought my Canon IXUS 870 in Champagne gold colours :) Since then I dont know when, I got addicted to taking photos. As I slowly observed how the rest took photos, I slowly learn to catch different angles etc . Jon, my photographer friend start to encourage me to post my photograph in http://www.flickr.com/photos/41842634@N05/ and I am totally addicted to it !!! Seeing how people took photos etc inspire me a lot.
The photographs that we took tell people or remind us of our story. The journey that we have took, the memories with whom that we have shared with.
Other than that, the photograph also show the photographer's characteristic, their emotion and their thought. I saw some people that took a lot of streets photo...somehow I can feel that they feel lonely. Some people like to take a lot of photos on sky, sun, sea....generally those peoples are those that think a lot....hence they always like to escape to those places to distress, to release their thoughts. There also also Asian that took a lot of photos on food :P that because Asian love to eat !
Have you observe what you like to shoot ? If you ever feel lost, try to look at your photos again. They will remind you of your story and they may lead you back on track. Well, I know I love to take photos with pink in it :P •.¸ .•´`♥

You can never go wrong with a Canon, Carine.Ü
ReplyDeleteI agree with you that Asians love to eat that's why there are sooo many food photos out there. When one takes photos, there is always this challenge to bring out a certain emotion.
I don't need to tell you again how much i like ur photos,right? I am sure you know it ;)
ReplyDeleteWish i had a camera too,but most of all i wish i had the needed tallent for taking good pictures,cause most of mine are...ehmmmm...bad or even worse.Will hopefully improve my skills one day :)
Russ, yes Canon is GREAT ! I love my Canon a lot ! but some other brand are good in their own things as well. Panosonic is great with Portraits photo (make u look prettier) and nite scene, Sony is great with colours shot etc etc but i do LOVE my Canon. And yours is so cute too :)
