usapang dslr: our share

it’s been almost half-a-year since we got hold of our dslr. never the bookish type, we just gave our d40 manual a quick run through. we then treated photography more like a trial and error, learn-on-the-fly thing for us thereby, making every technique learned a eureka moment. after a few thousand clicks, we’ve experienced the high of producing a winner and the low of missing a shot. for each shutter click, whatever the resulting photo may be, photography has been a worthwhile experience… and will continue to be.

this passion and enthusiasm for photography of ours has influenced a few of our friends… resulting in their respective dslr purchases. immediately after, it was email exchanges of questions and answers. soon we realized that it would be better if we form our very own mini-forum.

a few posts back, we blogged about this mini-photography forum. since that particular blog post showcased shots from members of the forum except ours, friends and readers reacted by demanding for our own shots. so here are a few shots that we have shared in our usapang dslr mini-forum. most of these shots were taken within a one month window… and almost all were taken just outside our house.

(note: these are highly compressed images. for better details, click here and zoom in to see the higher resolution photos.)




my first attempts at panning, a photography technique, and was quite content with the results. i had to cut my panning exercise short though as the guys were giving me weird looks as i click away (as evident by the last photo above. ).



rain usually spoil photo sessions but once the rain stops, go out and shoot… and you’ll see that foliage + rain drops do make a great combination.

one weekend, we tried this photo exercise where we walked around our neighborhood…






…then went back home at shot more just outside our house…






…feeling a bit tired, we went back inside and had a few of these.



these are some of our humble contributions to our mini-forum. definitely more will be shared as we continue to learn more about photography.
