Last term I took up Photography under Sir Jacob and I really am grateful that he became my professor because I was "FORCED", in a good way, to take better shots. Thank God it was him who became my professor, honestly I thought of dropping after finding out that he is my professor because he has a "terror" image at campus. Because he doesn't settle for anything ugly I was somehow in some ways forced to take photography seriously. I pretty much improved I guess, my older shots look like crap, so thank you sir for the experience and lessons.
These are the shots my professor approved of for our supposed
class exhibit, not really sure if it will continue though.
click the photos for a better view :)
practice sky shot on the rooftop of Mapua Intra
bird from Manila Zoo
this was actually a "tsamba" shot, I was just playing around with the
camera and had it saved on my memory then my
professor picked it
foot of my former teacher's baby
some building along St. Francis Street Mandaluyong
ahh~~ from MAS outing (our college's outing at Batangas)
shot from our mini veranda
There's a "creepy" story behind this actually. While taking this shot, I was zooming in to the white building's window and then I saw a faceless girl standing facing the camera. I immediately removed my eyes from the viewfinder, when I looked back it was gone. O__O
stolen shot taken while I was roaming alone in Baywalk
I had become a bit courageous with this Photography class. Never did I thought that I could go to places like Baywalk alone and taking shots. To be honest it was pretty daring, knowing that many snatchers and addicts roam around the place PLUS
how easily one can snatch a DSLR from a little girl like me.
somewhere along St. Francis again
Looking back to these photos, I do think I did kinda well knowing how noob I am with photography. I admit I ain't no professional nor am I hoping to be like one. I think it's much safer to say that I really am just a photography hobbyist. I enjoy taking photos of lots of things but I don't think photography is for me. I do admire however great photographers for it's easy to take "pretty" shots but it's much harder to take ones with great concept. I still do think that I have not much skills in photography but I am willing to learn someday.
*sighs* I know i've been saying this a lot but I really miss my cam <//3
btw, the photos are squared because it was one of the requirements for the exhibit. :)
