Photography- My passion

“Hello, I am Afrinah and i love photography”.

Let me dig in the reason that why photography is my passion. It’s because it’s simply addictive. Trust me. It’s my hobby for life. you can build a physical representation of your memories and past life. I know, You just can’t disagree with this :D. There’s no better way of documenting your memories other than having photos. That’s why I started photography in the first place.

There are different things you have to worry about before clicking a picture, like to find the perfect frame, get the lightning and the angle right, set the best aperture, choose the right lens, and so on things.. But that boost up your mind, that boost up your creativity. At least clicking pictures keeps me fresh and full of ideas for having different poses. Try it some time, i know you’ll agree with me ;)

I’m not a professional photographer. I probably never will be. I don’t care when someone says that my pictures are no good. I’m not doing this for anyone but myself. For me it’s a hobby, a very important one. I feel relaxed while doing it. Having a time with my camera makes me feel good.  I enjoy an excuse to get out of my home, for a short trip with not a huge amount of time available, but to take the camera brings a whole new dimension to a dog walk, or a drive out to the near by friend or just to sit on a bench at beach and watch the waves, or feed some kittens.

After taking pictures, I eagerly wait to see what they may look like. One evening, I raced in the car on highway to catch the sunset. The sun kept moving and hiding up, as I reached each new place to snap. It was funny, It was like chasing art, like a journalist chasing a news story. It was simply exciting. I am unable to attach the picture here because it’s large. Google document is refusing :| but i am attaching a pic of small fountain i took near restaurant :D  


Photography enables me to see things i may have passed by on and not noticed. For me, this conveys a memory or a place not just the image, and the feelings I felt when I took that picture. Perhaps, that shot reflected my life going well, a success or a sadness experienced at the time.

I believe,  my editing skills are very weak and this needs more work. Some photographers are great with editing and I have seen some amazing work. I’ll try covering this point..

Photography has made me a happy person and helped build my confidence. Interestingly, the pictures that appear to have the most success are of flowers. I enjoy macro and can keep the camera fairly still. you can view them on my face book account :D I have few there.

I hope that may I will always be able to see and capture the moment in time :D
