How is Photography for Me?

Being a young, amateur photographer from the historical city of Aurangabad, Maharashtra, I myself never remember that when I actually started photography except clicking hundreds of useless photos even if knowing that I will not get good shots in those conditions. 

The funny thing is that this unnecessary and useless clicking of photos has helped me in improving myself at this wonderful and challenging passion. Photography has taught me far and wide techniques and values, not only in this field, but also in real life. It has taught me ethics and morals in reality and also in photographing. 



Photography is a way using which I try to show the people the actual inside story and feelings and emotions of the time when I had clicked the photos. It helps me in creating a sense of achievement in my self that I have tried and achieved this feat in my whole photography history. 

When I have nothing, no camera or no mobile camera, I look at the subject I wish to click and I do the actions a professional photographer would do, like I would rotate the lens to zoom, I would edit the camera settings, etc. This gives me the same feeling that I get when I physically have my camera in my hand.



I don't have a DSLR or a professional camera. I just own a pocket digital camera from Canon. Sometimes, I would use my mobile. I have very, very less experience using professional photo editing softwares like Nik Collection or Photoshop or Lightroom. Even if I use them, I just do only basic editing (brightness, contrast, saturation, etc). I edit using Snapseed, Pixlr and others.


The above image was taken using a telescope and a camera bracket and mobile.

Till date, photography has been an inseparable part of my life. And I am very sure that it will be so in my future!
