How I Got Back into Taking Photos...

One gift to remember, and the best "Pasalubong" I ever had!
It's not a scooter silly! :-)

In 2005, when our boss got back from his trip from Europe he gave each one of us in the office a digital camera for ‘pasalubong’ (coming-back-home gift). Yahoo! He brought 2 Nikon Coolpix E3700 and 1 Fuji digital camera (forgot the model), and I got the Nikon Coolpix. It is a nice small point-and-shoot camera that fits easily in the pocket, and the resolution is great for happy snaps and capturing moments with love ones! After taking some test shots of the camera and seeing the results, I had a good idea. I went to get an extra battery and one 256mb SD card. I’ll try to see up to where it will take me and how much I can do with it.
One afternoon I decided to go walk-about with the camera, and oh boy, I was really happy with that small point-and-shoot camera. Even though the pixel is not that high, the color are good, and the high jpg file are also good enough for some layouts; probably blowing it up to a maximum 7 inches from the lengths, or maybe a bit more. But, what I like most about it, I could take photos again for myself, shooting not thinking the cost of film, slide frames, slide jackets and folders. I think to shoot a roll of film at that time would cost around P350 to P450 pesos. What I also notice is that the learning process is much easier because you can immediately see the results.
It was in the year 2000 I totally stopped taking photos for myself because it was getting too expensive for me. I still continued taking photos, but, not for myself, but for the clients. I shot a lot, especially at the time when I used to work in a studio, from product shots to food set-ups, a bit of fashion, furniture and a lot more. But now, I enjoy shooting with just basic equipment, shoot with just what you have and use it to the max.
Thanks to Gunther Deichmann for giving us that great ‘pasalubong’, and to the inventors, engineers, camera companies, and to all the people who made those small apparatus available to people who loves to capture a piece of time, or just simply enjoys taking pictures. The learning continues... –HMS
