as some of you may know, yours truly has been quite the interested amateur/hobbyist photographer..thks to the strong influences as well of a certain pal..but (excuses excuses) haven't really had the time to spend on really going out n indulging in and improving upon this hobby. as such, using THIS as a starting point, i shall stick up some of my recent endeavours, and perhaps, in time to come, i may be able to look back and see how much i have improved. at this point, im still developing the basics, and theres not much real photography skills involved, such as trying different combinations of aperture size/shutter speed/focus settings/lighting. just trying to learn the camera, and the effects of different settings, to understand these things better. thus at this point it is still more or less about snapping something in an interesting manner with a slightly better than point n click method, and hopefully, there will be gradual improvement over time.
