Hmm.. maybe before 1 year (not more) it just happen that I see some photography site and browsed to see what images are there. Before that I don't know what exactly is "photography", maybe some paid work to those people with BIG machines in hands to take a picture for advertisement, lol? Then I was suprised to see what cool photos are in this site, I was IN LOVE with one of the first I opened, don't know how and why, but they amazed me, it was "WOW" effect! After some reading about photography I just tried to do something, but haven't got a camera, so just start shooting with my phone. First tries are awful, not only bad composition, but I don't shoot anything sensibly, and was shocked about the BAD technical quality. So, I begin to read, shoot, watch other good pictures, read, shoot, watch... and in one moment I was thinking WHY I can't do such a pictures? (I liked nature/landscape photography most and started with it). Why? bad composition? I knowed the rule of thirds. Nothing interesting on the scene? YES, that was it! I was shooting trees and grass, no object. So I get out and start shooting again, go back to look them on the monitor - it was far better, but still not with "WOAH". So, what is pulling me down? Oh yes, it was the awful quality, no detail, no color, no dynamic... and the LIMITED angle of view (phone cameras are with 35mm equiv.) So, what to do now? Stitching technology, of course! I was knowing about it. After some reading I download one stiching program and start shooting like panorama images for stiching. I was shocked of the quality and DYNAMIC that give me, and posted my very first "photography" image on the net:
Most of the people liked it and that give me motive to start this interesting job, so in the next morning I go out AGAIN. That is my second shot:
...and again, and again... I loved to shoot and here I am now, still the same :hug:: This images are not much edited in Photoshop, only Selective Colors and Color Balance, some contrast and that is, I was just starting reading about Photoshop editing. Now, after ~one year I read much and know more about dSLR systems and will like to buy one with wide angle 18mm, I'm too lazy to stiching images now with my Canon A590IS, is not easy work. My first shots are my greatest. I don't like my latest so much.
