A picture taken by me using a Nikon D80. Edited using the simplest editing tool Picasa

I do update my blogs almost anywhere. I do posts even if I am traveling, but I do most of my programming work from my home after my days work. I live in Male’, the capital of Maldives.

I got a Nikon camera yesterday and started learning photography. I was thinking of buying a manual Nikon camera for long time. Yesterday I went to ReefSide, the dealers for Nikon in Male’ and got this camera. Darren’s Digital School of Photography is a regular blog where I visit and one of the reason for me to go for this manual camera.

The picture above is taken using a Sony Cyber shot a 8 mega pixel camera

This was one of my initial pictures in Auto Mode

This was taken with a shutter speed of 5 secs

I know I have to learn a lot, these are only some pictures taken trying to learn using a manual camera.

I got a new Camera, the Canon T1 Camera, which is excellent for  my blog posting. Excellent videos and the quality of the images are excellent. The camera has 10x optical zoom and the digital zoom is also great. I took this video from my apartment and the using 40x zoom. The quality is good. I was actually thinking of buying a flip camera, but this one suits for all my needs.

I was just testing my old camera, which I was not using for long time. The problem I was not using this was the battery. You need to use 2 A++ battery and it just lasts for 50 pictures and then the picture quality goes very bad. I recently got 4 rechargeable batteries and tried using it.

I feel the pictures are excellent and I should use this for my blog pictures. I am planning to buy a flip or a Sony SLR Camera

I have edited the pictures using Adobe Photoshop and made the file sizes smaller for easy download for a web page. Actual Image Quality for printing is very high

Hmm its me, just returning back to Male’ after the Picnic at Kuda Bandos with the AMDC Team

At AMDC we often go for picnics to nearby islands to have some fun and entertainment. Last year same day we had gone to an Island called Thulusdhoo where coca cola bottling plant is located in Maldives

We planned to reach the Jetty No 1 at 6 am, where we had arranged a speed launch for transfer to Kudabandos
