Optic Blast!
It’s only Tuesday and my working schedule (6 A.M. to 7 P.M.) is already filled until Saturday! What a load!
However, no amount of work will ever be enough (or well-paying enough) to keep me from indulging myself on the things that I like. For instance, since the arrival of my camera (a Nikon D70 from my father) almost two weeks ago, it’s only now that I’ve really begun playing with it.
Ladies and gentlemen, meet Cyclops. While I might not know much about her or photography in general, I’ll do my best to get informed on such topics over time. The D70 manual and three issues of Popular Photography has gotten me to a good start with photography jargon and technical know-how out there.
That aside, let me share with the world the one picture that I liked from the first hundred shots that I took (click image to enlarge):
From one of my photography teachers:
nix: You worked with diagonal lines.
nix: very good.
nix: and the lighting.
rj: harigato
rj: i like diagonals
nix: kaso masiyadong maraming gamit. nag-aagawan sila ng focal point
Alas! There is much to learn for a n00b like me. To motivate myself to learn more about this unknown realm, I’m developing an online gallery that will showcase the sight-seeing adventures of Cyclops. Hopefully, a soft-launch of the gallery will be in order before October ends.
Until then, Smile!
