Travel Photography Scholarship 2012entry

The first time I met photography is not like the romantic line: "love at first sight". But it looks like it is definitely sweeter the second time around. It did not even cross my mind but wonders has its own means. I really love taking pictures now especially when it involves nature.

Photography as a hobby is my stress killer. And nature as the main ingredient is just perfect as it adds a calm and more natural approach. No one to please and minimum tinkering on the post process is needed. Before I had this field to my liking, I am not the type to go on trips and be all adventurous either.
Though I have a habit of keeping or posting pictures even though they are crap just because they are memorable to me. It doesn't matter if it is bad as long as it holds something special. Why? Because that is what the camera is originally made for: keeping memories.
But then this is not a good practice as it hinders my growth as well. So this is where the scholarship kicks in. Learning does not just come from books and practicing them. Sometimes you really need is a very good mentor. So you can click and capture that perfect moment at the right place and time without the crap. :)
