My Scholarship entry - A 'place' I have visited

Iran | Thursday, December 13, 2012 | 5 photos

I am Mohammad, an Iranian applicant in this program.
I stumbled upon astronomy around 2000 & it was the start of a never-ending relationship between the sky & I! From then I could not be kept from such phenomena as Solar eclipses, Lunar eclipses etc. I counted every minute & second to the moment when these occurrences of Mother Nature dazzled us.
I began astrophotography with a small & simple digital camera. Talking pictures with a nonprofessional camera, learning its limitations & trying to overcome them developed the innovative & imaginative side of my career as a photographer.
Looking at nature through the camera lens has also ignited in me a passion for animals & led me to photograph the animal kingdom occasionally.
I am in to adventurer & I set off in search of Mother Nature's many gifts to us regularly.
I am so interested in such a great project & I find it a worth opportunity to prosper my knowledge of photography, communicate with other participants & passing a workshop in a country I was always keen to explore.
