Back on dA

Okay finally after 2 long years...I'm back on Deviantart. I previously took 2 years off from dA to refine my skills and partly because I felt that I hadn't reached sufficient standard to continue posting on dA.

These 2 years wasn't really the time I produced the most number of nice photographs but the time I really got down to learning those techniques...stuff like how to counter strong backlight, indoor settings for flash, light ratios & using a lightmeter and many more. And I must say that taking photos of events constantly in NJ helped me nail my techniques and think faster on the spot.

So after mastering those technicalities, I guess the next step for me would be to explore more perspectives, be it angle, point of view or thought process and ultimately turn Pro before Army. I'm currently trying to build my portfolio and hopefully someone would give me a chance to shoot for them (without pulling strings that's it). Of course there's still lots of experimentation to do and I'm not forgetting the importance of it. But I'll try to shoot something that looks professional while doing so :P

In a blink an eye (okay cliche)...3 mths is about to pass. The next 2 mths is going to be shorter than it seem because of all the preparation work for Army and some emoness/settling some scholarship shit after As (and that depends on how I score). I've really learnt alot during this short stint but hopefully the next 2 mths will be even more fulfilling for me. I can really feel time is running out (Muse fans no pun intended) and currently I just want to grab every opportunity that I've and I'll create. Heh. :)

In the meantime watch me here: http://matthewngphotography.deviantart.com/ :)

Cheers.
