I am back

I recently realized that I'd been concentrating mostly on two blogs, leaving my other three unattended, including this photography one, so I thought it's high time I corrected this oversight, especially that I have had many photos waiting to be posted. 

On my love for bird watching and photography

As an introvert child, I preferred to withdraw from games with class mates during playtime, and, without permission, would leave school premises. I discovered that I loved observing birds, so one day after winning a scratch lottery ticket, I bought binoculars so I could watch them from farther away.

Instead of boring you with technical details you may or may not know, and to avoid plagiarizing or using the wrong jargon, I'll share with you a series of videos explaining some photography basics, which will be useful if you ever wish to learn.

My photographer story

My earliest contact with photography in my youth has been through a grand-father who was quite gifted, but also obsessive with his wishes for a perfect photo. It was before the advent of digital photography, so he used all those “archaic” tools to measure light, distances, exposures etc, and since he was so meticulous, the process was rather endless. 

Welcome, and about the blog

Welcome to my 7th blog, readers. I have so many interests and topics, that I created separate blogs for each. This one will be about my photography, and more rarely, art, as I've dabbled in sketches, paintings and a few clay sculptures. 

I shall post photos, when I can, and discuss also my gear and general views of editing, my choices in cameras, tripods and other gear along the way.

I like to share the knowledge and techniques that I've learned over the years, but I'm by no means a pro. Only a somewhat advanced amateur who loves this hobby. 

I don't plan any particular day for posting, as my outings vary, and I have many photos to sort and choose from, but if I can, after a few initial quick posts to grow this blog in its infancy, I shall space my posts farther apart as time passes. 

Also, I will mark TW (= Trigger Warning) on all photos depicting spiders, as I know a lot of people fear them and whose arachnophobia can be triggered even by seing an image, and I don't wish to cause any form of pain. I know that some of my readers and viewers will belong to our mutual mental health community, and there are amongst them/you some that I know suffer from this phobia. Rest assured, therefore, these posts will always be marked, and totally separated.  

If you wish, you can comment, but know that I moderate before publishing, and request respectful exchanges on this space, as a common and mutual courtesy.
