My journey from “Photography” 2 “Blogging”

My journey of photography started when I was too young to hold a camera Even.

I still remember my first camera  was an #Agfa #Isoly2 which I took in my school days in 1970’s. 

Indian National Bird
Boat on River
Tawang-where sky meets the land
The Harvest….a click from Jharkhand
Silhouette
Mother’s Care

It was the roaring 70’s  with that tiny machine in my hand,I was considered popular among my circle of friends.In 1981,I got a Germany make #Voiglander camera as a gift from my Bro in law .I was extremely happy to click with that camera and it was quite handy and a heavy one though small .

In college days,I was quite popular among friend circle as a click master . I got another #Minolta camera and results were excellent never hesitate to try my hands on big and heavy Video cameras of Sony make.In 1986 or so, I got My first SLR #Practika as a gift from my same bro in law as a gift who got it for me from Holland and those days no DSLR were there.That was an awesome SLR with a telephoto lens & a telezoom flash.

I bought my first DSLR Nikon D3200 in 2012, and it was an awesome experience with 18-105 Nikor lens . With that,I got great wide angle nature shots in particular .Again I got a DSLR Nikon D5300 with 18-55mm & 70-300mm Nikor lens.Really amazing shots I could get with a Nikor 70-300mm lens and the journey is still on.to be honest just got a new Tokina 11-20mm Japan lens very recently and every one says its just awesome hardy lens for wide angle Landscape Photography.

Beauty is a matter of how you perceive it……I strongly believe “Every creations of Almighty is Beautiful”.

 

Clicking a Model in Bridal makeup 💄 is one of my latest pursuits . Basically being a Banker by profession and holding a responsible post & to be honest I was not getting enough time to go for new clicks from nature or wildlife.An idea clicked in my mind why not to start Blogging on my own clicks instead…..

I Dedicate my first Blog to all Photographers….

      5. No problems
        It’s fine

  48. Try this 👍

    My journey of photography began when I was very young, too young to even hold a camera properly. I got my hands on a camera for the first time in my school days. It was an #Agfa made #Isoly2.

    It was roaring the 70’s! With that tiny machine in my tight little hand I would be clicking away at anything and everything I felt deserved a click. In 1981 I got a German made second hand #voiglander as a gift from my bro-in-law. I was exstatic to be clicking with that camera, it was a bit heavier and much better to handle.

    In the college days, I was somewhat popular among circle of friends as the group photographer and would often be employed by friends and family to shoot marriages and events of that nature. Eventually I got my hands on another camera, she was a #minolta and as a result my production quality improved once again. I’d never hesitate to try my hands on a bigger or a heavier camera such as of a Sony make or the like. It was circa 1986, I just got my first SLR #practika as another gift from my bro-in-law who got it from Holland. Technologically speaking, in those days DSLR’s were somewhat of a phenomena so it was a big deal for me. It was an awesome machine, an SLR with a telephoto lens and telezoom flash!

    Many years and many clicks later I bought my first DSLR Nikon D3200. It was 2012 and with the wide angle capability that comes with an 18-105 Nikon lens I was in heaven, not to mention the incredible clarity it offered. My nature shots benefitted in particular and once again my photographic experience was enhanced greatly. But as it is with technology, everything soon becomes out-dated and soon enough I had to upgrade. This time the DSLR Nikon D5300 with 18-55 mm & 55-300 mm lens was the new weapon of choice and what a weapon it is…. The 55-300 mm lens is insane and with it in my arsenal, the journey is well and truely, ON!

    Hope to get a New 150-600 mm lens soon so I can continue to work photographic wonders. This planet of our’s is an immense source of visual pleasure, it would be a crime not to get it on film.

    My shots are dedicated to all amateur photographers across the globe .
