day 1: self portrait

So I decided to start a 30 day photography challenge. The aim for me is to take photos everyday not necessarily to be as creative as possible so here's day 1: self portrait.

photojoy

I've decided to start a photography collection of sorts next year God-willing. My aim is not to take the best shot or be professional or compete or anything but just to do what i love. I don't have the discipline to do a 365 like some people but will be shooting on a to-be-determined theme.

thats all ;p

on photography

You when when you want something someone else has and you wish you had it and the more you think about it the more it seems like everything you want to do is get it and give in? I've been feeling that a lot lately.

First was when i went to my friend's house and saw his widescreen display. Instant jealously, i tried to control myself knowing who he was, if i freaked out he wouldn't like it.

Secondly, seems like everyone i know has or is getting a dslr and i wan, i so so want but cannot. The thing with dslrs is that once you get out, you are inundated with all the needs of the camera. Suddenly you realise that your kit lens is crap and you need better lens, then you want a flash and then a bag and then some more lens, in a few years you decide you have outgrown your current camera and want a better one with more sophisticated functions and abilities or in other words a more expensive one. And then one day you see how inconvenient it is logging all your camera equipment around and you want a compact. They always come back to the compacts and compacts are doing very well these days in terms of quality.

But the pictures dslrs take are just gorgeous. I don't believe i've used that word before but thats exactly how i feel. Why am i saying all of these?

I've evaluated my style, if you like and compared with some of my friends and this is what i find. I like the little things, the small insignificant, i will be the worst person to ask to take portraits or photos for a wedding for example. I'm not that type of photographer. My skills are not top notch and i'm still struggling to find my way around my humble point & shoot. However i find that i'm more comfortable when there's no agenda, no goals, no aim just let yourself lose and shoot.

I may never get a dslr but at the moment i'm satisfied with my humble p&s. Should probably give it a name. Anyway i'll be setting up links to nice photoblogs or photography sites soon.

dream clouds sky

I didn't believe it could happen but this afternoon i took a nap and i had a dream. Guess what its about?

All week i've been wanting to go out and shoot something (take pictures). The sky was just so lovely on Sunday and i didn't bring my camera along.

Oh yeah so back to the dream. I dreamt i was in some kind of commonwealth gathering in a large auditorium, the stage had the widest screen you're even seen and they just looped pictures of clouds, nice silky white clouds with lovely blue sky. The photographers where outside, setting up and i thought i would just take a picture of the silhuete of people standing fixing cables and getting things ready with the sky as the background. I took some shot and they didnt looks as good as i wanted so i changed the settings and tried again but then the background was changed. :bummer:

I think i'm getting hooked on this photography things. Can't wait for exams to be over. ^.^
