“A Bit About How I Started And Learned Photography"

First thing First: My best wishes to all Amateurs, Hobbyists and Professional Photographers around the world. 

I remember, when I professionally held my Canon 500D dslr in my hands and also had requested few professional big names in India to teach me Photography by accepting me as their assistant photographer and they turned their heads with some real silly excuses. 

Of course, that annoyed me a lot and pushed me from inside to start teaching my own - self. So, finally, I found a master within me, that makes no excuse but only can criticise and motivate myself. I shot many landscapes, birds and portraits. I loved them a lot and got praises from my Photography fans and friends around.

But, today when I go through those images, I find them so much to the basic level. I did start to create some good shots ignoring editing parts and utterly relying on camera than PS (Photoshop). 

Canon 500D, Sigma 70-300mm. 2010 - my 1st Edited Shot.

 This was the 1st 2 shots, I edited. Tried bringing my visual into reality.. I did find a bit of success but I wasn’t so content with it as I wanted to keep my Photography more pure to what I had captured with the camera than editing with PS or making any sort of manipulation, be it color.

I realised, I am getting diverted from my actual Photography creativity. I never wanted to convert myself into a Photoshop-O-grapher”. Hence, I started working and focusing on Photography than Photoshop-O-graphy”. 

After time passed on, I came back to neutrality.

Here are few more shots, that I always wanted to learn and show to the world, what Photography is all about. When you can get best out of your Camera, than, why depend so much on Editing softwares? Yes! We do need Editing applications but just to add frames and a bit of touch ups. 

My only advice to amateur photographers, is, work more with your camera than computer.

Hope you will like my determination and experiences shared with you all.
