I started taking pictures a year ago. I bought my first dslr, a second hand dslr nikon d3200 very cheaply. I have always had these images in my head that I wanted to realise in photography but couldnt begin with due to other commitments. But finally I got a good job that pays well so I started saving for a camera and so it began.

My motives are usually landscapes and capturing emotions in public so I take mostly streetphotography styled pictures. At first I was very afraid to take pictures directly at people so I started taking pictures behind them. Now remember taking pictures of people is legal as long as you dont plan to sell them for commercial use. For that requires a permit from the subjects and usually payment for them. But my photographs is mainly a hobby and self-use.

It takes me 200+ pictures a day to get 2 or 3 great pictures so I'm not really that good but when I get a good shot it makes me happy so Im okay with that. And I get to spend the whole day just chilling when the sun is up in the city so its kinda relaxing as well.聽

I think I took over 200 picture that day and only got this picture just pushing the trigger, and it turned out to be one of my great ones. I don't know what that yellow thingy is though.

I edit my raw pictures in photoshop cs2 as that one is free to download from Adobe. I have used photoshop since 7.0 and started using photoshop draw and color anime when I was 13. I was so into Naruto back then.

I like this one. Its was one of my first picture that I took and added some filters and black and white. I printed this out on a canvas and it is currently hanging in my room.

This picture was not taken with my dslr, actually this picture was taken 5 years ago on my iphone 3gs. This is one of the picture that I really like and also printed out on a canvas painting. I am very proud of this one.

Thats all for now. Ill drop more pictures soon. Thank you for reading and looking at my pictures.

Have a great day.
