Photography bug...

Hi, i know im posting this after a long time.. and a lot is overdue that i have to write about my December vacations. But i'll leave that to the next post. This one is about my latest obsession. My Digicam!!! I have fallen in love with it.

I got my photography bug from my sister. I had been getting inspired by Di’s pics all the time but, when I met her last winter and learnt the finer points of the trade, I got hooked. We got some really ultimate pics of the FRI(forest research institute) campus in dehradun. So beautiful and picturesque it is that it is really a photographer’s dream place. Since then, I’ve just been in love with my camera, taking it with me wherever I go. In hope that I may get a nice shot somewhere. Always hoping..

After trying a few shots at it at home, I succeeded in bringing in to college this time. As known, DA-IICT is one of the most picturesque colleges in the country. You can just take the cam and wander aimlessly here and there, and you can capture many beautiful shots of nature. So, I decided to try it out this morning. Woke up at 6, and headed out the hostel.

Along with the usual close ups of some really beautiful flowers I got to capture loads of beautiful morning snaps. I roamed just about everywhere in the campus, seeing some new areas along the way. It was truly a remarkable experience. I saw the scenes around me in a new light. Capturing such scenic beauties was utter pleasure. I tried real hard to get a pic of 3-4 peacocks sitting together, but as expected, they flew off at even the slightest noise of my feet. Though i did manage to get one in flight.

I’ll definitely open a Flikr account soon.. As soon as the net of our college boosts up again. Maybe u can tell then whether i've made some progress over the time or not.. ;)
