Like most people, I enjoy looking at superbly taken photos.
Earlier today, I saw one which impressed me enough to share it with a few friends. Sensing my enthusiasm for such photos, one friend went on to suggest that I invest in a particular lens.
The problem is, although I take photos once in a while, I have minimal knowledge and no interest to learn more about photographic techniques or equipment. So being told of terms such as “AF-S Nikkor 70-200mm f/2.8” seriously means nothing to me.
However, when I think back to our visit to the Singapore Zoo last month, I remember wishing that I had a camera that could capture close-up shots of the lovely flamingos – which I think are the loveliest animals in this zoo.
I know that with the right camera, lens and know-how, I could easily fill up stacks of bluray CDs with pictures of nature – not to mention my kids in action.
I should learn more about photography.
Should not be a problem for you to pick up photography fast… you got the eye. Even with your current camera you can already produce nice photos.
Thanks! I guess I do have the “eye”, the problem is I don’t have the patience
And the picture I meant was yours actually.
Really? No lah, you’re pulling my leg hahaha. But if its true I’m thankful that people appreciated my photos. Was it by any chance the “Brief encounter”? Those photos really took a lot of my patience. It was hot and I was sweating. Let alone a bit of fright because I’m dealing with a bee and a kesisang (which can spray its smelly and painful defence if it is frightened). But with the result, I was stunned hence the reason why the waterwark had to be so big and obvious. I know it spoils the photo.
Ya! That’s the one! Showed it to a few of my friends
It was really brilliant. Of course, you have to put the watermark besar-besar. Wanted to link it up then but kept forgetting – am doing it now.
The bee is also different from those I usually see. FYI, we called the kesisang, pasisang – yes, I know the smell, didn’t know that it can sting.
But another new Brunei name I learn today
I think the bee is called a bumble bee and the kesisang doesn’t actually sting but if the liquid it squirt lands in the eye, it really feels like sting in the eye. I had some experience when I was a naughty little boy.
