"practice, perseverance and patience are the 3Ps of photography" - my own quote :)
and I believed it and stood by it.
I was introduced to photography in 2006 when I brought a Sony point and shoot. I loved clicking and I was getting hooked on to Trekking and Travelling, and all these three hobbies complimented each other. All I had was an entry level point and shoot and it could do only so much, but that never stopped me from experimenting.
Somewhere I noticed some of my images looked better than others and when I asked myself why, I could see a change, I started getting choosy in what I shoot and what I share.
Though I was happy with the point and shoot, the sheer opportunities a SLR provided was always tempting, and already I was thinking, is it time for a SLR yet?
and I believed it and stood by it.

| "walk on virgin snow" Sarpass trek with YHAI, in Kullu district of Himachal. May 2010. lessons learnt: leading lines play a major role in making a image captivating, like the ridge here is leading the eye to the center.. plus as snow reflects the sunlight, be careful to check the histogram for proper exposure. |
