Photography

Just a couple months back, me and my friend were talking about how digital camera has changed the way we take photos. Rewind my memory back to 15 years ago, we used to go out to do photo shooting, in film, using SLR camera. During that time, photo shooting was not as convenient as today consider we have to buy films, and the cost to develop in photo lab. Not to mention results can only be seen after photo is developed, the whole photo session can be ruined by small mistakes.


We put down our camera after we finished college to pursue our career. During the last few years, although we did snap some pictures, we were only using "point-and-shoot" camera as it's more affordable. Until recently, the local market is flooded with DSLR camera and so the price has dropped to a more consumer-friendly level. So we think it's a good time to pick our camera again.

After been looking and researched around, I finally picked my unit a couple weeks ago - Nikon D5000. I won't go into its performance and details as there are a lot on the Internet. However, a good review can be found here.

I have setup a new blog for my photography journey, and hope that I can really enjoy it from now on...
