Camera Chronicles: Beginner's catch

So i don't actually own a camera and my dearest father has one, but he does not know how to use it. He prefers using point and shoot types, which is obviously a lot simplier than his dslr. And as his favorite daughter (ehem!), i took the responsibility of taking care of his dslr and make use of the good in it. Voila! I'm now the caretaker-slash-user of his Nikon d3000.


I've had it for quite sometime and had taken a few pictures already but I am still a noob also when it comes to editing photos. And since today is Sunday and my family has decided to stay at home instead of our usual weekend farm trips, i will spend the day practicing tricks and reading tutorials about photography.


For now, i will be out but fret not because I'll be sharing some of my favorite takes with you. 

WITH EDITS:

                                         taken at our garden. how one part was shadowed by
                                 another plant adds drama to the photo itself. Used HDR-ish effect.  

                                  a bunch of dried grass, where a portion of it is lighten up by the sun.
                                                              Used Orton-ish effect.

NO EDITS:

at a local beach. This rubber floatees are to be rented for 10 pesos/hour.

My favorite. Everything in this photo is perfect. The sun's lighting, the color of the leaves. 

Thus, No need to edit.

Happy Sunday everyone!:)
