Photography Journey (The Beginning!)

in #travel6 years ago (edited)
Hello! I am new to Steem and any tips about the platform or my posts will be greatly appreciated!

My Photography Journey

I wanted to share my photography journey and possibly discuss different aspects that could improve my skills. At the moment, I am basically an amateur ^_^''

I have always enjoyed photography because I was in charge of photo taking during family trips and my mom made it fun and loved taking photos herself.

Eventually I ended up really enjoying scenery and large panoramic kind of photos, because who doesn't? Some kind of grand scenery that I would like to display on a bedroom wall and bring me back to the moment I was there.

Fast Forward to Today!

After completing school, I am now going on vacation to the Philippines for 2 weeks and a tour of Bangkok, Thailand to Ho chi minh, Vietnam.

This vacation starts February 1st to March 6th LOL.

This is my first time going on an international vacation and I wanted to share the experience, as well as improve my skills at photography. I want to be able to bring back amazing photos that I can be proud to display.

Obviously from the last 2 photos you saw, I am using a camera phone. Only option at the moment since I just finished school.
I have briefly looked at some videos about how to take quality photos with iPhones but any more advice would be greatly appreciated!

So whoever has the time to give this a look and some feedback thanks!

I will be posting some practice shots/edits ASAP

Yeah, photography is something that I really enjoy so I would like to see where it goes. I am going on vacation soon so it was good timing for me. I only recently learned how good the camera phone can actually be. If a camera could make calls then I might switch, lol.
