Purpose of this blog

I like taking photos. But I am not a professional and have not ever received any training. Most of the things I learnt about photography and cameras were from my own experience, some common sense, laws of physics and tips from junta.

I plan to use this blog as a venue to post some of the photos I have taken and share them with my friends (and everyone else). Of course some feedback will be very much helpful.

As of today my camera is a Minolta Dimage A200. Most of the digital pictures were taken using it. Prior to that I had an Olympus iS200 which was a film camera. Most of the scanned pictures come from it.

The digital photos were not processed in any way i.e. they were they were not modified by any software or other means. Even the scanned photos were just plain vanilla scanned and no processing was done on them. While I have nothing against processing photos, I think such photos represent your processing software skills better than your photographic skills.

Hey nice to see the pics...I can vouch for your enthusiasm for photography. And beleive me some of the pics are really nice. However I have a very practical advice for you (free of course), "start carrying your camera more often". More often than not you forget the camera to lot many occasions where you are the designated cameraman :) Now I hope you will have sense to take it with you to the US on your short (I hope) stint there. Also I dont know whether it will help but may be a smaller portable camera would be a good idea...wht say?
