Firsts.

This first photo may just be my first step. 

Photography to me? It's about keeping those few beautiful and precious moments close to heart, that is, on my SD card. ;) 

Today, was the second session we had on food photography. The trainer said something that i thought was really true and is something that most of us often do not realise. Many say that if you want to be a photographer, you can just quit school. But photography is not what it seems. Hours of preparation, of composition, of editing, and maybe even longer periods of waiting for the perfect moment.. 

Food photography is not just about snapping a picture of any food placed in front of you, it takes long preparations to create the perfect model of the food that stays for hours at ends until you finish shooting. Take for example a cold drink, the ice would only remain as long as 3 minutes until you end up with a layer of water on the drink. There are however certain techniques to create the same environment as the real image. Well, so I have lots more to learn and capacity to improve.

I will continue to update this blog (hopefully), sharing more photos with gradual improvement as I gain experience in shooting.
