Intermediate Photography

Okay, I got my GE x5 semi pro camera last month and after that, I started to learn how to use it by reading the manual and experimenting on many things. I'm really not a professional photographer so I admit I needed to learn a lot. It's good however that I learned some theories when I was studying back in college so I have a little foundation. I also read some books and browse the net to learn more things. My video shooting skill (because I do more of videos than photos before) also helped in some ways.

At first I was really having a hard time trying to achieve the looks I wanted to capture like having a depth of field and what not. I just thank those information posted in the internet. I came to learn more about how the aperture does that depth of field (and if you're using a GE x5 camera, it's good to combine it with the macro button).

What I like also with this GE camera is the panorama option. I was able to capture wide scenes without having to edit them. i also tried to play around with the shutter speed and I really love using the slow shutter speed at night. I'm glad I learned this shutter speed things when I was shooting videos.

Well, as of now I'm currently reading the book "The Joy of Digital Photography" and it's really a big help for me.It's good also that I know how to use Photoshop so I can do lots of post-productions in some of the photos I got.

More to learn yet and i realized this is a good hobby. I hope I have a more possessional camera soon but for  now, this GE camera serves my needs (it's what my money can afford to buy as well, he he).

Here are some of the photos I took so far that I some enhanced using photoshop:
