I am a photographer. I have been involved in photography since October 2008. I love creating images that move people, be it a sad emotion or a sense of peace. The greatest reward that I get from creating those images is appreciation expressed from others. The following are the scenes that I love taking photographs of:

seascapes during sunset
images that I can turn into HDR
macro shots of flowers or small things
people be it pose or natural

A lot of my images are post-processed using either Camera Raw or Adobe Photoshop or both. I love it when I can get 'the' images on the spot and straight out of my camera. I find that by getting the images that you want on the spot saves a lot of your time/effort. But I feel that certain images that I take can be improved by processing them in Photoshop.

How I know about photography - I acquire my knowledge of photography through books, online search, friends and seminars/workshops. I also learn from experience when photographing a scenery/subject as well as during editing them.

More about my personal life. I have been married since September 2007. My current job is a research assistant in a local university. In the year 2008, I came across photographs in flickr when I was searching for the location of a beach. What I found amazed me. I was mesmerized by beautiful pictures not to mentioned stunning images taken by some of the photographers in the flickr community. I was immediately hooked, I wanted to be like those photographers, capturing the moment on camera. From there, my education in photography began.

I feel I would not have gone this far if I did not have the full support of the people surrounding me. Especially my husband. He pushes me when I need the motivation, he comforts me when I feel down and most of all, he allows me the freedom to do things that I want. My siblings who continue to believe in me, in my creation. My cousins for their ongoing support. And finally, all of my friends in photography, for answering my questions and doubts, guidance and mentoring. You guys are the BEST!!

I leave you guys with one of my favourite quotes, "Whatever the mind of man can conceive, it can achieve" by W. Clement Stone
