Klickd !

"It's weird that photographers spend years or even a whole lifetime, trying to capture moments that added together, don't even amount to a couple of hours."
~ James Lalropui Keivom

Photography has become a very common hobby of many now a days, including me :o). I have been more into photography these days. Especially, a Digital Camera in my hand, I keep experimenting everyday with something or the other. My colleagues and friends would be surprised if i didn't have my camera with me any day. Almost every other day i have my camera with me.

Definition of Photography : Producing pictures with camera , Using light to make pictures

I like the second one better. Light plays an important role in photography, during the time you take a picture or during the time when it is developed .

Gone are the days when you would use a analog camera, Click pictures and wait for them to get developed and only to find out that many of the photos haven't turn out so well. Digital Camera gives you the freedom to take as many pictures as you want, If you don't like a picture - just delete it, Need less light - use less flash, want to shoot a sequence of events - use the 'burst' option.

Creativity and Uniqueness are also two important things which go hand in hand with Photography. Take a normal photo with a different angle and its sure it won't go unnoticed. Appreciations are always welcomed. Any photo which is appreciated by others is like a milestone for you in the field of photography. Photos are an imprint of your memories .A look at the photo album at time brings back memories of the past, your Childhood ,School Days (Those group photos with the uniform and red ribbons) ,your Birthday snaps (you standing eagerly in front of the cake to blow the candels),your College photos ( Those unsuccessful attempts to click the photos of a smart guy /gal) :o) and many more ..

Timing is one more criteria which is in line with photography. Correct timing for clicking the shot has to be decided by the person behind the lens. A well timed capture would result in great results.

Photo editing Softwares are a common way to enhance your Digital photographs. Take a normal picture and try different effects on the photo to give it a different look .
I have recently been using Picassa. Click here to see my experiments with Picasa and other photos which i have taken . Comments and Suggestions on the photos are well appreciated .
I am just a Beginner into this world of Lights, Lens, Focus, Zoom, Pixels, Exposure, ISO, Aperture, Shutter Speed, White Balance, Focal Length, Noise .....
