Capturing Memories

October is coming. This is the time when medical students come rushing on school papers and finals before they can take on the stage and claim to be a graduate. Aside from paying additional school expenses, completing forms, baccalaureate, and other stuff, one of the best things students want is to have their graduation pictures taken. This becomes their memorabilia of sleepless nights memorizing all the body parts, medicines, etc.

Speaking of photos, you remember the wacky shots from your intern class. The young student in nursing scrubs just starting her career. Now, as you hit the last days of your course, take time to collect memoirs. Bring along a digicam and capture all the best things and the best people that became part of your life. You don’t have to list all the things you need to remember; just one snapshot and that will tell the entire story you need to recall.

Dedication and Practice

After a year of the one and only digital photography class that I took, I still have not gotten myself to look into the videos that I recorded during our class. Armed with a brand new, albeit entry level dslr, I was eager to learn and shoot. With all the things that I do on a daily basis, I kind of slacked a bit, okay a heap, on this photography thingy.

If there is anything sure about getting better at photography, it will always have to come with dedication and practice. It is nothing like the instant effect that an hgh spray will give you. I bought yet another camera since, a Canon s90. But still have not gotten to maximize its potential. My hope is that even as I continue to maintain this page, I will keep on trying to learn. No matter how long it takes.

Snapshots vs. Portraits

Before digital imaging hcame, we were all freely snapping our shutters away. Snapshots make for a huge collection of a family’s memorabilia. Although everyone will agree with me when I say that a snapshot’s quality may not be as good as that of a thought of and well-composed portrait. Portraiture requires effort, snapshots don’t. That’s the bottomline.

But as you go along at photography, your snapshots will tend to get better (I hope mine would) and as time goes by, a third party won’t be able to tell apart your snapshots from your portraits. That’s a dream I would love to get to one day. One day.

Meanwhile, I am still trying to figure out post processing photos. It’s just fun how softwares can serve as wrinkle fillers with a click of the mouse. I’m hoping to find the time to enroll in a photography class once again. I am finding myself deteriorating when I should be improving.
