Photography

I got into photography recently (December 2022) thanks to my significant other buying me a DSLR for our 10th anniversary. I plan to spend at least 1 day each week spending time outdoors photographing things that interest me. I feel like my passion in photography is leading towards landscape, wildlife and still-life photography. But, it’s too early to tell so let’s see where my photography journey takes us. 

All photos below are JPG images generated by the camera itself unless otherwise noted that filters or edits were involved. I am trying to hone in my photography skills first before I move onto photo editting.

August 2024

Believe it or not, this is the same area (different zooms of course), same week, sunset vs sunrise. Boulder weather can surprise you if you’re not ready for it. 

July 2024

This month let’s feature some pictures taken on a hike in Boulder, Colorado. Oh yes, I’m back in the USA now!

March 2024

Some pictures I took in Colombo while hanging out with a few of my lifelong friends who’ve watched me grow since I was a kid. I wouldn’t be anywhere close to where I am now if it wasn’t for them. 

February 2024

And the stay continues while I wait on some documents to get sorted in US. 

January 2024

Some pictures I took during the first month of my stay in Sri Lanka. 

Notice

August 2023 to December 2023 will be uploaded in early 2024. I had to leave my hard drive behind when travelling for a family emergency and I will upload all photos from August 2023 onwards when I have access to my hard drive again. 

July 2023

Got some cool pictures of the 4th of July drone show in Boulder, CO! And a picture from one of the hikes I did with my significant other. 

June 2023

Some pictures from a quick hike on the Triceratops Trail in Golden, CO.

May 2023

I have a bunch more hiking pictures in AZ this month but let’s feature something else this month. 

 

How about a day at the Denver Zoo, Colorado. And yes, still no edits anymore. Just JPGs from the camera.

April 2023

My obsession with trees continue. 

Plus a little experimenting with shadow photography (is that a thing?). 

March 2023

No post filters this month. Just original JPG images from the camera. I think I like images as is from the camera more. 

However, I did purchase a polarizer filter to experiment with images of water and harsh sunlight conditions (yay Arizona). 

February 2023

Started to use some filters on post to experiment with color and texture on photographs. 

January 2023

All images below are unedited and the original JPEG version captured by the camera. I am saving RAW photos for future use but right now, I want to focus on the photography aspect as opposed to the editing of photos (which will probably come at a later time).
