Pics or it didnt happen!



Oh, well the Hello fellow Humans!



Today I get to show you, fellow Human followers, something related to one of my hobbies. I am a photography enthusiast, and because of this I take pictures of the smallest of details, striving for a good picture. I do feel a need to documenting every change that happens to anything, so I can look at the past and tell my stories with a clear memory. I mainly have interest in nature photography, I try as much as I can to hide any traces of Human presence or colonization in my photos (with all respect that have within). I honestly find the obvious presence of Humans in a nature photo kills all of its value. After all, it is a photo about nature not humans. I honestly think that pictures of humans in nature should be kept private or for family viewing only.



Below are two pictures that I selected from my gallery. Though these photos are not my best, I believe that they are unique when compared to the rest of my gallery. 





This is a picture that I took of a place in the northerly side of earth, the area is mentioned in one of the blogs that I have read. Contrary to the birds, the blue sky, the water and the trees; this place is artificial. It is staggering that such place achieves the qualities of natural scenery. I took this photo to give the viewer an idea of what it might be like swimming in the pond with the fish and ducks, or being on a boat, that kind of thing.

I took this picture through a very risky method of taking level shots. I placed the camera over the water and tried to the best of my ability to position it vertically so the photo becomes level. My gallery has many images of similar style, and I picked this one because it is the most recent one. I do experiment with angles most of the times when I am near a body of water. It just something different from the usual nature imagery that I see on the internet. I have to say, however, that I recently found out that if you zoom in on the trees you could see pixelated people. Oh what a shame…




This other photograph is an example of my experimentation with photography. Though the subject is cliché, I chose to post this photograph because there no other attempts in my gallery that are as successful in mimicking this style of photos. These successful experimentation photographs are nothing like my serious ones since they satisfy my expectations without setting up the camera for the environment. I do have a boat load of them but this one stands out. I am not a fan of edited photos and all my gallery is the way the image processor processed them. This picture however appears to be edited; there is very minimal color in it, and the dirt contrasts with the green of the dead leaf. If I remember correctly, I basically adjusted the zoom and focus for the camera then pressed the shoot button. Too much professional work! And to this day, I am still trying to photograph a similar scene that rivals this photo. (Tells you much about my photography skills, huh?)


Thank you Berries as much for tolerating these photographs. I hope that I won your visit this time too!
