As I talked a bit about my background on my first blog, I am not a photographer. I said so because it's not my permanent job and it’s not my major in school now. However, I'd say photography is my hobby and I usually take photos when I have free time.
In my country, high school students must finish an elective course to graduate. My friends and I decided to take photography course together because we were interested in taking photos. I got a lot of basic knowledge in the class. My teacher was great; she taught a lot of things and tricks in photography. We had a lot of memories, and it may be the greatest time in my life.
I remember on the weekend I didn’t have school, my best friend and I went to the mountains to take some photos because we had nothing to do at home. The night before, we went to my uncle’s house to borrow a camera and a roll of film. In the early morning, we got started from my house. Around 5 A.M, we were cycling to the moutains, all we had were a camera and our enthusiasm. My hometown located on the top of the mountain and it took us about one hour cycling to get to the mountain. We went early because we wanted to take a picture of sunrise on the mountains. I couldn’t believe what I saw on that day, the sun was rising between the ravine, and fog was covering around the mountains. It was amazing and wonderful. Then we went deep to the forest to take photos of plants or animal. Suddenly, there was a man lying on the ground yelling at us. We didn’t know what we did wrong but we got scared. After all, we knew the reason. He was one of the best photographers in my hometown, or even in my country. He was waiting for a cricket going out its cave to drink foggy water on a leaf but we broke his plan. However, we got to know him and learned a ton of things from him.
I also learn photography from many sources on the internet when I have free time. I usually go to a forum where people share everything about photography. They put a lot of materials for everybody who wants to learn photography and it’s totally free. Otherwise, I go to famous photographer’s websites to learn their experiment.
I really like the change of scenery (as in details!) in this post. You show your connection to photography, and I was intrigued throughout. So think of ways, now, to support the text just a bit more. Which country is your home country? Does the mountain you were on have a name?
ReplyDeleteI think it's important that we all find our passions. I have a suspicion that photography might be a life-long passion for you!
