Photography and me

I caught onto the photography bug and i think i'm gonna give in to it soon. As i love to travel, there's so much things to see and to take picture of. yeah, i'm not a pro photographer that waits for days just for the right weather conditions and lighting but damn, i just love taking photos.

There used to be a period where i'm caught between a videocam n a camera as i believe that a picture can't capture the continuous sights and the sound and u can't really remember what the hell really happens after many years have passed by. I think both has it merits and appeals differently.

i guess what makes photography so special is that it's the special moment in time freezed in a frame and a well taken one invokes so much emotions and in itself tells a story.

i saw a photography magazine today while browsing at popular bookshop. in it, a landscape of british countryside of endless fields but it's so well taken that the foreground shows bright reddish colour of flowers, mid-ground shows the greenfields while the background shows the bluish mountains. it's as if the whole spectrum of rainbow colours were capture and freeze in a moment of time. it was absolutely stunning!

set my sights on a nikon D80, a wide angle lens, a general lens,tripod, bag and flash and that is gonna cost me a month's nett pay. was hoping to take some basic photography lessons at the photographic society but the schedule clashes with my work :( nevertheless, it's on my To-Do-Else-I'll-Regret-List :)

wish me luck :)
