Last December 31, 2007 I got my first Digital SLR which is a Canon EOS 350D which I bought it from a friend. During those time I really want to learn the Ins and out of photography for keeping still memories of my family especially the kids, as a new hobby and of course make an extra income out of it.

One year after I haven’t really got back my full investment on this DSLR. My last computation shows only 24% return from some effort I did last year. What I’m aiming right now is my ROI and it should be happening this year. Right now I have 2 good additional lenses and I still need to have a good flash and a wide camera lense.

In addition to getting back my ROI, I think its time for me to join a Photographer’s Club somewhere in southern part of Manila. Since I’m from San Pedro, anywhere near Las Pinas, Muntinlupa, San Pedro, Sta.rosa would be a good area. What I did I joined this forum and decided to get invloved luckily I’ve seen a small group in Muntilupa and hopefully, I can join them and learn more photography techniques.

It was my first to witness event like the 2008 Aliwan Festival earlier today. I went there with my kumpare yuga for a photo shoot and it was all worth it. Originally, my plan was to go with the digitalphotographer.com guys since my kumpare seems to be always busy but I still called him up last night and asked him if he can go to the event with me. Fortunately, he has no other engagement.

We went to Cultural Center of the Philippines past 10am and decided just to kill time chit chatting while waiting for those festivals. Later in the afternoon the 27 festivals coming from different locations and provinces were starting to arrive. That made us busy photo shooting. It’s hot in the field but again its all worth it. Colorful customes were everywhere and all you have to do is ask them for a photo shoot and press that button. We then headed back home as soon as we felt a little bit tired. I just dont know what happened when rain started to pour.

As of this time I was only able to upload one photo. Check it out here

I’ve decided to get mulsid.com and make a subdomain out of it. You may check my newly domain http://alwell.mulsid.com. and I’ll say this now I’m going to be popular someday hehehhee. Call that domain my photoblog. Since I’m a very newbie to photography I don’t consider the domain my professional photo site unlike most professionals out there their name becomes their porfolio site.

Im looking forward to do more photo shooting though At the moment I can’t afford to go on travelling. Nearer places would be fine for now.

I feel like I’m a student again because for several days now I’ve been doing research and reading articles about photography on the internet. One of my favorite read is the Digital Photography Glossary. I’ve been reading it over and over again as some of the terms and explanations are a little bit complicated and I need to go over again as I sometimes forget it. I think for now, aside from continuing updating some of my blog sites in a regular day interval I will be occupied with learning the basic of Digital Photography. Yes, you heard it right, the BASIC as i’m a newbie to this kind of world. The Digital Photography World.
