Starting 2012, Looking Back...

Hello! Hehe... Yes it's finally 2012. Another year and another opportunity to fix things in life. I'm sure everybody has a new year's resolution this year and hope that you guys determine in whatever path of interest you choose. I know I certainly need to change myself. Not giving bad impressions but good impressions. I still remember when the first time I felt in love with photography. I was only 12 at that moment and I'm pretty sure everybody likes a beautiful picture.

"Pictures, regardless of how they are created and recreated, are intended to be looked at. This brings to the forefront not the technology of imaging, which of course is important, but rather what we might call the eyenology (seeing)."

This Exmoor trip was back in last spring. At least my family manage to get the family going somewhere in this country. Yes Exmoor! Probably one of my favourite landscape location to shoot. This is Wimbleball Lake. I though Exmoor was just one county but it has lots of places for you to explore the nature. It's also quite near to Bristol. It took us about 2 hours to get there and lucky for us the rain stopped. Okay lets stop talking about Exmoor.

In landscape photography, it's obvious that you need to be somewhere in nature or forest. For that point, location is brutal and has a lot of impact can be done to your photo. Always do some research before you go to any trips, or else it could happen something else.

About my 3rd picture above, that's my family photo taken with my camera on a tripod. Other than that, the tripod was placed on a really high position because I could get my family in the foreground and the background to be the heaven view of the lake. That's also one of the composition tips: get high, so you can get a different perspective. Your photo will then have interesting and fun view to see.
