A Recent marriage and a chance hand on Nikon D5000 is my story on my journey of photography. My husband inspired me to take a break from my professional IT job and give some thoughts on my passion too. When I was set for my honeymoon around Nov last year,the passion for photography dawned.
My husband, myself and the camera started getting around a lot. As an average tourist, I would go around clicking pictures. Weeks passed by, I observed I was getting a lot into it to the extent that I used to lose track of either my husband or me. I started referring Google and you tube on how to take better pics. (Trying to understand F stops, shutter speeds & ISO).
Photography is one of the best medium of visual arts.A medium that I am learning to see and capture.A picture creatively and aesthetically taken can be mesmerizing and its capable of telling many a stories.After checking out pictures from channels like natgeo, I have realized how much a single shot can make a difference in perspectives.
This is my calling. What I need now is a good training to make the best out of this journey.I am totally aware that I am just a month old in this venture and its too big of a step to even think of this competition. I would be lucky enough to even get comments. A programme like this would certainly prepare anyone tread on the intended journey. Good Luck
