My Photography Scholarship to Oman 2012 https://journals.worldnomads.com/hasitha_tudugalle/ Mon, 6 Apr 2026 04:39:42 GMT World Nomads Adventures Originally from Sri Lanka I moved to Sydney in April 2011. Since young, I've always had a camera with me. I had this crazy idea that I could have a biography of my life in pictures. I never took photography seriously until I got my DSLR in May 2011 to explore Sydney. At the Botanical Gardens one day, I saw birds I had never seen before. I started taking pictures of them. It brought back memories of when I was about 7. My dad built a cage in our garden in Sri Lanka and we got about four lovebirds. They quickly turned into about 15. I had a book called Birds of Prey with pictures of birds. I used to draw and paint these birds but never read the book as I was more into art and painting. I grew up watching channels like National Geographic and Animal Planet. I recall the first time watching David Attenborough’s Life on Earth when I was 8. I feel that this would be an excellent opportunity to improve my skills as a travel photographer. There would be no limit to what I could learn from an award winning photographer like Jason Edwards. The knowledge gained working with him would be invaluable. My dream is to have one of my photographs on the cover of National Geographic magazine one day. https://journals.worldnomads.com/hasitha_tudugalle/photos/36850/Australia/My-Scholarship-entry-A-place-I-have-visited Travel Australia hasitha_tudugalle https://journals.worldnomads.com/hasitha_tudugalle/photos/36850/Australia/My-Scholarship-entry-A-place-I-have-visited#comments https://journals.worldnomads.com/hasitha_tudugalle/photos/36850/Australia/My-Scholarship-entry-A-place-I-have-visited Mon, 31 Dec 2012 14:57:00 GMT 0 In Somersby, NSW Australia https://journals.worldnomads.com/hasitha_tudugalle/photos/36913/Australia/Australian-Reptile-Park Travel Australia hasitha_tudugalle https://journals.worldnomads.com/hasitha_tudugalle/photos/36913/Australia/Australian-Reptile-Park#comments https://journals.worldnomads.com/hasitha_tudugalle/photos/36913/Australia/Australian-Reptile-Park Fri, 30 Nov 2012 14:30:00 GMT 0 Taken in places around Sri Lanka https://journals.worldnomads.com/hasitha_tudugalle/photos/36917/Sri-Lanka/Sri-Lanka-2012 Travel Sri Lanka hasitha_tudugalle https://journals.worldnomads.com/hasitha_tudugalle/photos/36917/Sri-Lanka/Sri-Lanka-2012#comments https://journals.worldnomads.com/hasitha_tudugalle/photos/36917/Sri-Lanka/Sri-Lanka-2012 Thu, 27 Sep 2012 09:37:00 GMT 0 Bondi Beach, Sydney Australia https://journals.worldnomads.com/hasitha_tudugalle/photos/36914/Australia/Festival-of-the-Winds-2012 Travel Australia hasitha_tudugalle https://journals.worldnomads.com/hasitha_tudugalle/photos/36914/Australia/Festival-of-the-Winds-2012#comments https://journals.worldnomads.com/hasitha_tudugalle/photos/36914/Australia/Festival-of-the-Winds-2012 Sun, 9 Sep 2012 11:33:00 GMT 0 Zoo in Blacktown, Australia https://journals.worldnomads.com/hasitha_tudugalle/photos/36921/Australia/Featherdale-Wildlife-Park Travel Australia hasitha_tudugalle https://journals.worldnomads.com/hasitha_tudugalle/photos/36921/Australia/Featherdale-Wildlife-Park#comments https://journals.worldnomads.com/hasitha_tudugalle/photos/36921/Australia/Featherdale-Wildlife-Park Sat, 14 Jul 2012 16:46:00 GMT 0 Music Festival https://journals.worldnomads.com/hasitha_tudugalle/photos/36919/United-Kingdom/Glastonbury-2010 Travel United Kingdom hasitha_tudugalle https://journals.worldnomads.com/hasitha_tudugalle/photos/36919/United-Kingdom/Glastonbury-2010#comments https://journals.worldnomads.com/hasitha_tudugalle/photos/36919/United-Kingdom/Glastonbury-2010 Fri, 25 Jun 2010 10:40:00 GMT 0 Trip to Germany during University summer holidays https://journals.worldnomads.com/hasitha_tudugalle/photos/36920/Germany/Germany-summer-07 Travel Germany hasitha_tudugalle https://journals.worldnomads.com/hasitha_tudugalle/photos/36920/Germany/Germany-summer-07#comments https://journals.worldnomads.com/hasitha_tudugalle/photos/36920/Germany/Germany-summer-07 Fri, 28 Sep 2007 16:43:00 GMT 0
