Michigan

I have only been here in the US for 2 years and 1 month, to be exact. I have lived in 4 different states so far. Yes, 4 different states in 2 years and 1 month. I lived in Texas,Arizona,Michigan and now California. With the said 4 states, Michigan is by far my most favorite. I lived in Rochester Hills Michigan, a suburb 45 miles outside Detroit. I would describe Rochester Hills as a perfect place to live, to raise a family, to raise kids. It is just perfect! Anyway, here are some of the pictures I have taken while I was still living in Michigan(Rochester Hills).

These pictures are not edited. They may not look extraordinary but they certainly bring back memories to me. I always tell myself that someday I will go back to Michigan. Someday!

Our Front Yard Hummingbird

I have finally and successfully capture the very elusive hummingbird that regularly visits our front yard flowers every morning. I am happy with how my pictures came out. I feel like a pro but not =)
Here are my captured hummingbird photos.

With these photos I used my 55-300mm lens because I tried not to get very close to the bird or else it will fly away and never will return until the next morning. I did not have the patience to wait and besides I have been trying to capture a photograph of it several times and it keeps on flying away from me. I hope you guys liked it! =)

New To Photography

I have always enjoy taking pictures ever since camera phone was invented. I can still remember how happy I was the first time I laid my hands on my new cell phone that has a built-in camera. It was Nokia 7650 which started it all for me. I remember taking pictures of everything and anything and of course, mostly myself, which we nowadays called #selfie =). I take pictures because I want to capture every moment possible. For me, personally, it has always been nice to look back and remember the days, whether it is good or bad, it will always bring a smile on my face. Every picture I take tells a story.

I did not go to a photography school nor took photography course online. I read photography tips and lessons online or read my camera manual or watch video tutorials on youtube from time to time. I am no pro! I have just recently started to learn little bits and pieces of techniques on taking good pictures.

I decided to create this blog to document and at the same time share with other the pictures I take, the progress or development I made when it comes to taking pictures, new learning and just about anything that has something to do with my PHOTOGRAPHY as a HOBBY.
