I'm currently interested to learn more about photography. Though I don't have my own camera now, I use my phone to take pictures of anything that I feel like to capture. I've not taken any training nor experience about this, but I feel that I know how to take pictures.
I started to become interested in photography by the use of a photo-sharing application in my phone called Instagram. It's the cheapest way to learn more about the hobby I want to engage in. I easily fell in love with the beautiful and amazing photos I've seen every time I open the app. Out of curiosity, I tried taking some shots which was not good until such time when I got used to it and made my shots look better. I have by now a 'good' collection of photographs and most of it are sky photos, particularly sunsets and even the sunrises. I find it very stunning and effortlessly beautiful and somehow, it gives me a peaceful feel every time I watch it rising and/or setting.
As a college student, I spend most of my time at school and so, it's weeks when I don't take pictures. But sometimes when I'm free from school, particularly after classes and on weekends, I make sure not to miss anything. I also knew that this kind of pastime is quite expensive but I don't mind it. If you really want to do and learn about something, you'll find a way.
For a short time, photography has made me more interested in living, exploring something new and travelling to different places someday. It makes life more inviting just by looking at every beautiful images it creates. It has also made a way for me to express myself through the things that my eyes had seen and captured by my camera at a certain moment.
All in all, I can say that photography is something that I love, something that I really want to do. And I'm hoping that this beginner skills of mine will develop over the years and become my future profession someday.
