The journey begins..

My journey into the photographic world started in 2009, a journey that started with some tentative steps and grew into a love and passion as well as an amazing tool with which I could share my love for nature with fellow nature lovers. It is also a journey that introduced me to so many wonderful friends along the way. Here is sharing with you all a few of my steps from along the way.


The starting point of photography, flowers, subjects that sit still and do not run away or fly away.. :) always look beautiful, no matter how badly the shot is clicked, the stepping stone to give us the hope that there is a photographer in each one of us. This pic, clicked way back in 2009, when I had just started off with my DSLR, reprocessed now with a thanks for giving me the hope, that I can also click... :)
And then of course I had to do the best with what lens I owned at that time, the 70- 300 sigma,(the macro functionality of which I was completely in love with ) also considering that birding with such a lens can offer more than a little bit of a challenge I stuck to flowers for a while.

Trying different compositions. Oh the thrill of managing to get a bee on a flower..at that point of time, indescribable..

Lalbag of course providing excellent opportunities for every budding photographer, I spent a fair amount of time there too with my sigma 70-300

 
Every click was a new learning experience, every flower was  a new opportunity. Every weekend was a visit to lalbag

The Journey continues......

  4. the pictures are truly awesome. i am newbie, just started with a 1100d and 18-55mm, I'm planning to get a zoom lens, i am seeing your blog at the right time, i learnt about sigma lens. These are my options which one should i go for?

    a) "Sigma 70-300 DG Macro"(9500 Rs.) AND "Canon 50 f/1.8 II"(6700 Rs.)

    b) "Canon 55-250 IS II" (16500 Rs.)

    1. Hi Bharthi,
      Thanks so much..:)
      Sigma 70-300 DG Macro is the lens I started with but make sure you get one with IS, mine was without IS so it takes a lot of practice to get it without blur n shake. Canon 50mm is a portrait lens. I'll post a blog on portraits sometime in the future. Canon 55-250 IS II is a good lens but may fall a little short for wildlife. canon 70-300 is a good option too to start with. It will give you a slightly better reach. Hope this info helps. Thanks, Tharangini
