Photos, Photography and Redgage.

Way back when I was just kid, I have been observing my older brother do some photography works. He was using a RICOH SLR then, I don't know the specific models. I have admired his works, and perhaps watching him and seeing his works have planted a seed in me.

In college, I have have always admired the photos in the National Geographic Magazine. Though they are quite expensive, I would buy one from time to time, not only to read the interesting articles but to marvel on the amazing quality of photos in that magazine. (I also love to collect the maps of the different countries-- from different times that comes with the some issues).



Photography however, seems to be an expensive hobby for me...and time passed by, that interest in photography seems to have vanished. Although every time I could get my hands on an insta-matic camera, I would take pictures of the sceneries that I see.

Still I continue to admire great photos whenever I see one. Though deep inside I often wish I could get some cool photos myself also, I never thought I could do it. One main problem is I could not afford to but a descent DSLR camera and it never occurred to me that I someday I would. Until I became active in Redgage.com

In Redgage.com I have seen spectacular photos that would equal the quality of photos in National Geographics. I would spend hours each day, admiring the spectacular photos. Not only that, I have come to get acquainted with the people who posted them.

Here are some of my favorite photos in Redgage.

Seeing at these photos have revived my desire for photography.Although I still can not afford to buy a DSLR (yet), my desire is stronger now that I have made plans how to earn extra cash so that I will be able to buy at least a Canon Rebel series camera within this year. To start with and to help me earn the amount that I needed, I bought myself my first digital camera. It was relatively cheap, but the Polaroid T1232 digital camera could capture a quality photo that surpassed my expectations.

In one rainy afternoon, I experimented with my digi-cam and was amazed how it captured the individual droplets of water as the raindrop hit the pavement.

Here's one of my early favorite shots.










In the recent months I have been uploading photos in redgage. Including some of my experiments in photography. See them here: http://www.redgage.com/tekbytes/photos
