... I think! :D
I love taking pictures! Scenery, people, animals, flowers, infrastructures and all else. I have long admired people who could take such wonderful photos even with simple, low-end cameras. I view people's works on deviantart and multiply and flickr, and scan over photos I find breathtaking and beautiful... I then sigh and wish I could take pictures as great as those. :( I had two informal shooting lessons from my friend Ryan, who covers weddings and pre-nups and shoots models as a sideline. It was with him that I was able to first hold and shoot from a DSLR camera. Since then, I've been shooting at every occasion that I get... Only I had to do it using the family camera, a Sony point-and-shoot digicam, or my phone (a 3.2 MP Sony Ericsson). The results were not bad... but they were not good either!hehehe :(

I got a chance to shoot using a DSLR again during last semster's Market Expo, ME/IE International Conference, and during the summer at another photography tag-along in Taoist Temple. I have fallen in love with the DSLR camera, and spent the summer of 2008 trying my best to earn money to save up for my very own DSLR, and the semestral break helping out at home to try and get on my dad's good side so he'll sponsor my dream cam.hahaha When at long last my dad gave in and asked me to canvass for the cheapest price of my desired camera model, I was so excited that I spent the whole day comparing prices on the Internet. However, I found the prices to be too high, and felt guilty at having to ask for something so expensive. So I momentarily abandoned the dream of owning a nice cam.
But YEY of all YEY's! Last Wednesday, abovementioned Ryan was going to buy new lenses from a "suki" store in Manila (that costs PhP82,000...wahhhh!), and told me that if I bought my camera along with his lens, I could probably get it cheaper, and that we could also split the freight cost. To make the long price story short, I got my camera (with accessories) at PhP10,000 lower than the price of the same model sold at SM, and PhP2,000 lower than its price at the cheapest camera store in Cebu! :D Not only that, but I got a FREE camera bag that should have cost me an additional PhP1,900! My cam arrived last Friday ( November 21), and I already got to bring it to the farm to try it out. :) Like any brand new thing that I get, my new cam is getting special care and attention. It is stored safely, carried around carefully, and meticulously guarded... hihihi :D
hehehe OA I know, but give me a break, considering how hard it was to finally acquire it. Give me a couple of months and I may be able to behave a little normally.hehehe :D
I'm hoping school will be a little considerate in the following days so I can get out and have time to try stuff out with it. It hasn't left its case since Sunday...but the manual does not anymore look new!hehehe Anyway, enough of this long introduction. It's time for the climax of this post.hehehe Meet my Nikon D60.... Archibald! :D
