I started photography almost five months ago, on accident. Over the summer, my Girlfriend and I, took a trip to Greece. I was using my android phone a lot to take pictures of our surroundings. After a while, I started to mess around with some of the effects that my phone had to offer. I was using sepia and a lot of B&W. I was trying to get the best shots I could possibly get. On that trip I realized that I wanted to tryout photography. I was never good with holding a hobby for more then a few days or a few weeks. When we got back to the states, I saved up some money and went out and bought my self a beginner camera. Canon SX40 HS. Its not an SLR because when I was at the store the sales lady saw how lost I was with an SLR camera and turned me to the Cannon. I loved it from that moment and bought it. I went out shooting a bunch of random pictures. The first day I must have shot over 300 pictures and I didn't know what I should delete because I thought they were all good. I didn't delete any, and posted them all on my facebook. All my friends said that they were all good, even my girlfriend. But come to find out a few months later that she didn't like them at all. I went out the next day and shot more, but I shot less because I realized what is a good shot and what is an average shot. I took almost 200 pictures that day. Everyday since then, I shoot less and less pictures but I spend more time looking for the right shot. Over time I developed an eye for taking good pictures. At least that's what people tell me. Ive been getting good feedback on my photography with my friends, so I decided that I would try starting my own blog and share them with the world.
