Fence

Lately, I taking things slow in Photography... I want to enjoy life without having to think about the frame and how I want to capture it... Taking photos constantly can make one look at everything within a certain frame which can be limiting. I've been taking similar subject photos for sometime now and I do enjoy taking random flowers, people, road, fence, etc photos again and again but at times I don't have much to share online because they are repetitive. I want to try something new esp. with Concept Photography mixed with Fine Arts and Fantasy but alas, life is getting a bit tied up these days...

I want to learn proper way of photo editing and find like-minded circle to learn and share...

At the moment I feel like I am sitting on the fence and observing everything....

Santa!

There is this wonderful Photography blog called 
http://constellationcafe.wordpress.com/ by Akshay Bhoan. 
It is a great blog to check film roll reviews and reviews on Photography Books, Photographers, camera, lens etc... Also I love the healthy discussions and inspiring articles. 

Today I got a parcel consisting of 4 film rolls; Lomography Slide/ X-Pro 200, Fujifilm REALA 100, ORWO B&W, Kodak 200 from Akshay Bhoan!!! Cool! 

Since 2004 I am actively into Photography but became more serious with my first DSLR- Canon 40D in 2007. I grew up with film photography but we never had the professional or even remotely good camera in our home. We had those plastic- automatic- commercially mass produced Konica/ Kodak film cameras which my mother used to buy year after year since it never lasted longer... She herself likes to take pictures but she clicks without knowing any technical basics; in automatic mode. 
I liked Photography since childhood but I never got the result like the ones I saw on magazines so I took it for granted until later I realized that it takes a good camera to get good result; best a manual camera and whole lot of technical know-hows...

Since I come from a remote place, exposure to Photography and information was limited...

2000- A new world of World Wide Web opened up to me... much later it became my Photography teacher. I am a self taught but at times I feel that I should have joined a Photography class to makes things easier and quicker. 

I got into film photography very late- 2010-2011. I read up a lot from the net... 

Hopefully one day I'll get to have my own darkroom and stocks of film rolls...

Till then I thank Akshay Bhoan for encouraging a newbie like me by his thoughtful gesture. Thank you.
