Let Nature Do The Work



I have always been interested in photography and have almost made it a hobby.  However, not having a powerful camera has hindered me from doing so.  Well, this is what I used to think until I have recently stumbled upon an article that tackles about producing great photos with minor technical aspects and by simply letting nature do the work.

Here are some photos I have taken last year with just my digital camera…

SERENITY

Location: Roundhouse Beach, Ili Norte, San Juan, La Union
Date Picture Taken: May 2, 2008, 4:33 PM

JUST ANOTHER DAY

Location: Roundhouse Beach, Ili Norte, San Juan, La Union
Date Picture Taken: May 2, 2008, 6:06 PM

BLANKET OF MOUNTAINS

Location: Mines View Park, Baguio City
Date Picture Taken: April 19, 2008, 4:11 PM

So even with the limitations of my camera, I was able to add impact to a photo by mostly depending on natural light, right timing, right place, and a good angle.

   Nice photography! I am a frustrated photographer as well. But same as Val, can’t afford a decent camera. I am opting for the old school type with a digital memory… Hahaha!

   Nice work on all those pictures. Do you know that colors of the background are best when it is early in the morning when the sun is just rising?

   I have several photos of nature, though in print. Hahaha!

   Nice work! Keep on taking inspiring photos!

   Oh yeah.. the so-called “Magic Hours”. For a point-and-shoot digital camera, those times are perfect! Hehe!

   Hope to see your photos, too. Even if they’re on prints.

   Thanks, Vence!

   just looking at your photos. you don’t need a powerful camera. you already have the eye in photography and the passion which is most important. just keep clicking!

   wow! nice shots you’ve got there! in my opinion it seems you’d do well with any camera. it doesn’t really matter what kind of camera you use as long as you capture the picture the way you like it. anyway just keep it up.

   Hi there, I’ve randomly stumbled into this website. Do you have more digital pictures you can upload? I like your idea of digital camera pictures, it’s very inspiring for a lot of us who can’t afford the expensive DSLR ones.

   Nice job!
