Colors, Angles & My Love For Photography

Saturday, May 3rd, 2008

I’ve always loved colors! I love them popping out of magazines, posters, clothes, banners, etc, etc. Bold shades of red, blue, green, orange, pink, and violet are absolutely stunning! I most especially love them popping out of photographs - strong, radiant colors are always eye-catching.

Now, I have never owned a camera. I am blessed to have parents who love photography, and it is always most convenient for me to borrow their equipment. I get to choose between a Canon 350D and a 40D; different lenses; monopods or tripods; and everything else that they call accessories.

For years now, I have been satisfied with just using our Sony Cybershot. I learned a few tricks here and there in editing photographs - to make even the most dull ones come out spectacular!

Using the Canon cameras, however, proved to be a different experience altogether - experimenting has never been so much fun! Contrasting colors of bottles are more emphasized; imperfections of butterflies are visible, yet they still look beautiful; the prints of the decor are more striking; the colors of the flowers are absolutely radiant. Travels are more cherished now as my captured subjects are presented more beautifully, more vibrant.

Who knew I could take pretty pictures? I didn’t! I was just too busy having fun, and getting lucky with my shots! Now, I’ll just have to wait for Santa to go buy me my own camera. Harharhar :D
