Valentine Z's Photography Adventures - Mk. 1
Valentine Z's Photography Adventures - Mk. 1
So this is going to be a new non-ICly thing! As some of you can tell by now, I do a lot of photography in my free time! Almost all the time it is a hobby thing - there were times when I do take photos with my family, or friends... and even then, I would not receive any money from it*. Not that I want to, actually. I do this for fun first and foremost, and being able to hone my skills just by taking a lot of photos have been nothing short of fantastic! And hey, you're your own boss in a hobby. I get free reign on where I want to go, and where I want to take shots!
* If in the event that I entered a photo for a competition with actual money involved, I will NOT be using NationStates to promote or involve it in any way, and will not tell about the contest until it's over.
My current equipment is either my phone (Vivo X50+), or my DSLR first and foremost - Nikon D5100, attached with 18-200 mm Tamron Lens.
WARNING: Photos are extremely large and might drain your data. Might be slow too! ^^; Each photo, unless panoramas or cropped, is typically 4-6 MB big.
