Amar Raavi's photostream  

I have started Photography as a hobby and slowly it is growing on me. Photography is really wonderful as each picture I took reminds me the the place, the people, the joy, the pain and takes me back to that exact moment like a Time Machine.

What else i can say about me, i am working in Information Technology and i love the tech very much, whether it is a new gadget, software or an idea. But i usually i get bored with things pretty fast, but only one thing i have never got bored of. That is Photography. I am becoming more addictive as i go.

Flickr is like a school where you can meet new people, learn new things and enhance your skills. I absolutely love my presence here. I think i spend most of my free time exploring the Photographs and Photographers here on Flickr. I have learned so many things here and feel that there is a lot to explore.

I tend to add some of you as contacts. Either i am curious about your progress or your work is inspring. You are not obligated to add me as a contact or comment on my photographs because of that. Even though i feel happy when i see people appreciating my work, i will be much more happy when they provide constructive feedback.

If you want to be a successful photographer then you need patience. Lots and Lots of Patience. Be open to criticism, experiment, take advice, see things differently (everybody got only 24 hours a day and the same boring places and people), do whatever it takes to get the best out of you. At least that's what i have learned so far.

Only regret i have is that i haven't traveled or photographed India well. I am proud to strike it out. I think i am fulfilling my dream now :-)

My current equipment:
------------------------------
Canon EOS 40D - I absolutely love this camera. It's a no toy camera. XT/XS/T1 guys don't get offended :-)
Sigma 10-20mm - I recommend this lens to everybody who like to take photographs with some cool compositions.
Sigma 18-200mm - My general purpose lens. Not bad for the price i have paid.
Canon 50mm f/1.8 - It's really cheap (not the quality of photographs)
Tamron 90mm f/2.8 Di - What to say ? Good for exploring the new world (Macro)

Happy Clicking,
Amar
