There are some things that I wanna learn and there are some things that I wanna. And yet I can't, that's the problem. I don't wanna say for the nth time about factors and all those :toot!: why I can't seem to do what I wanna do.
What's most ironic is that people around me were able to do those stuff :waghhh:. As I write this I just realized that I've already said all my "hinanakit" on a previous blog post so try to look on that.
Things I dream to have and hold and learn:
1.Own laptop (either mac or windows)
2. Learn photoshop and harness its power to use its full potential
3. Finally have myself my own professional SLR camera and and learn all of its hidden secrets (My dad used to have a Nikon SLR since before I was born. But he had it sold a long time ago).
4.Be good at personalizing my own website
5. Unlock the secrets of Multiply
6. Join a group of talented people (other than MMx, I'mcurrently eyeing DLSU Pops Orchestra)
7.Possess good skills in drawing (gotta read that book about good drawing my mom gave me last christmas)
8. Learn the basics of photography (gotta reread "DIGITAL PHOTOGRAPHY: tricks of the trade" all over again :):) )
9. Tap the hidden mysteries of Dreamweaver once again (Florante and Saladin again)
10. Nawala hehehe
Need help?

all the things you need to know about photography is there. Don't read too much of books. You'll learn more from asking people directly in the hobby / industry.
Oh btw, make use of the search function in those sites. The topic you're asking for might be asked already, so just to remind you though.
ReplyDeleteThanks to the 1st seven people who read this :):):) Subukan ko hehe
ReplyDeleteI crave for a Nikon D-SLR, D40 lang masaya ko... actually, even a film SLR will do *sigh*
ReplyDeletesayang ung lens ng dad ko non kasi compatible pa pala yon sa mga bagong models ng Nikon...kung bakit pinamigay niya yon
ReplyDeleteA little rant over here and this is my opinion only.
ReplyDeleteowning a dslr nowadays is pretty much the IN THING, and i think its pretty stupid. you see people in malls gumagamit ng dslr pero halos wala silang idea sa mga functions (they use P/AUTO mode), dapat ng digicam na lang sila. having an slr means using M/manual 95% of the time (unless your a newbie and still learning). kahit ung iba, hindi alam ung ibang functions ng digicam nila. all they know is they can take pics with it.
my point is, don’t effin join the Filipino bandwagon. think of the reason why you want to have an slr in the first place. is it because you’re interested in photography (you dont really need an slr for this, ive seen point&shoot pics in flickr na masmaganda pa sa pics ng slr)? or are you just craving for one? At first, I didn’t even know kung ano ung pinagkaiba ng digicams sa slr’s. nung nakahawak ako, aaminin ko nainggit ako tapos gusto ko rin magkaroon. pero pinagisipan ko kung ano ba talaga gusto ko. Started playing with my camphone, then my tito’s digicam. College came tapos narinig ko na magkakaroon tayo ng fotogra na subj. sakto ung dad ko binigyan ako ng slr. And the rest is history. Im hoping that in the future, photography will be my second source of income. That’s why im borrowing effin books and spending most of my time studying photography concepts and thingamajigs (i still suck at taking photos though). Pero right now, dedicated hobbyist lang ako.
no need to rush. photography is an expensive hobby, the slr (digital) alone costs 30k+. and its impossible to say na you won't be having an upgrade. yung mga prices ng lenses and accessories, hindi bababa ng 4k.
if you have money to burn, sure, go ahead. buy the 1Ds Mark III and a couple of L lenses. pero if you have a limited budget, stick with what you have and try to master it. Ill say it again, dont effin join the filipino bandwagon.
oh yeah, and a big +1 on this one! punta ka sa mga sites na yan! napaka informative! :D
ReplyDeletekamahalan kaya di pa ako binibigyan ng parents ko...Pero gusto ko patulan ang SLR minus the d rin...more traditionalist hehehe
ReplyDeleteWe do have a budget SLR if you may call it, in the dark side (Nikon). D40 costs 20-22k nowadays. But the cheapest lens we've got I think is at 5k and that is the 50mm f/1.8
ReplyDeleteI do have to agree, upgrades are inevitable in this hobby. Eventually, you'll feel the itch to buy an upgrade.
If you're a P&S shooter, no formal Photography class, but DO understand the relationship between Aperture, shutter speed and ISO, and is eager to learn more, some say it's the better way to start with.
ReplyDeleteElse, the purpose of learning would be defeated if you still plan to shoot at Program mode even if you're using film. Useless lang.
boom. shot it right in the head. you take the photos, not the camera.
