Product Shots

Amazing shot don't you agree?

I've always wanted to take really great photos -- especially when taking pictures of food and products.

That's basically what I use my camera for, other than capturing family moments 

which since my husband forbids, I rarely share online.

Here's one more awesome shot from DigitalRev...

Super stunning and really inspiring...

There are times when I find myself quite frustrated whenever I'm reading photography books or watching how-to videos. I find the jargons being used a bit complicated. 

However, I'm not sure if its really because of the jargons or I'm just being plain impatient and lazy to learn on my own.

Do you think its about time that I get myself into photography workshops? 

I saw one being conducted all year round somewhere near me... So there goes the temptation, ha!

 I still hear the back part of my brain tell me no, you can't give up on yourself yet. 

I've got quite a number of photography how-to books plus one specific book that concentrates and further explains the buttons and functions of my DSLR camera.  I probably should try to read and concentrate on learning through them first and see what happens before I jump on any basic & advanced photography workshop...  Who knows, I just might nail this alone!

Like all the others, I know that this is a trial and error thing. And I should always remind to ask myself what's there to lose in trying to learn alone first? I wouldn't be wasting any film anyway. 

Since it's all digital, I can just erase the really ugly photos and save the awesome ones, hihi! 

Plus If ever I nail this on my own, I get to save from the workshop fees. I should just take advantage of the books I have on hand. Photography books aren't cheap you know, plus I've got knowledgeable photographer friends too! 

I can just spend the money saved from the workshop and get myself a macro lens.

 Oooohhh... what a really lovely shot!!! 

I'll be able to take pictures like this some day, soon! Now thats the spirit!

So that's my creative goal for the mean time. 

What's yours?

Photo a Day

I am excited...

Excited because for the first time I am joining a group and a special activity which will not only allow me to express creativity in as quick as 2 seconds but will also be a venue to practice more on taking photos!

I am glad I stumbled upon Chantelle's FatMumSlim blog where she hosts the "PHOTOADAY" challenge. So what is photo a day you ask? Well according to Chantelle, the host, it is a fun photo-sharing challenge where you take a photo a day according to what is on the list. There are no rules and no one to say you're worst at taking photos... One need not be super creative or take the most amazing photos but just about sharing! Most of all, everyone is welcome to play!

Now if you want to join me, here's how the challenge works...

1. Take a photo daily based on the prompt on the list.
2. Share it on whichever platform you like: Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, Flickr, Blog and/or Pinterest.
3. Don't forget to place the tag l hashtag "photoadayJUNE".

The challenge will kick start on the 1st up to the 30th of June 2012.

Pretty simple, right? I am sure it'l be a lot of fun too!!!

So every time you get the chance do drop by my site to check out my photo entry for the day...

Better yet, join with me and let's share photos! ☺
