Hi from the Indian Ocean | Tell us about Yourself | Photo Forum

A little hello from the Island of Mauritius in the Indian Ocean.
I started with photography just for fun using my mobile phone (SE 8M Pixels) and slowly began to like it. Last year I bought a Nikon D3200 with its 18-55mm VR lens and started shooting a few photos here and there. I must admit that my location is considered prime because of its tropical nature and moreover because of the variety of colors, sunset and people living on this piece of rock lost in the Indian Ocean.

I take pictures for fun and always experimenting new angle and still learning from the Nikon. I must say a BIG THANK YOU to Oksana because it is through her tutorial that I am learning all the basics. I have not chosen which type of photography (landscape,nght, sports, etc) I will go for. Photography for me is by inspiration. What your eyes want to see, is what you should be able to express and convey in a photo.

Well, that’s about it, I guess.

Have a great day.

PS: I am sharing a few photos here and I hope the admin would not. I try not to use Photoshop except in extreme cases to enhance colors, exposure. Most have been re-sized. As for the sunset, I used 3 different filters on the lens because I wanted to express the various color blending in this shot. The last shot, I named it Baroque, because it is amazing what a camera shake can do.
