For many people including me, Discovery and Nat Geo motivated me to look closer into the wildlife around us. The images they captured and breath taking views of the nature attracted me towards the mysteries of the mother earth. The way they captured this was so amusing to me. The technological breakthroughs and innovation they had with their photographic equipment's was so out of this world to me.
At the of spawn of my passion, first thing I wanted to do was earn enough money to buy a camera and wander around the forest to capture these amazing moments. however as I got older, I came to know that these equipment's, that they used, at these shows cost a fortune and was really hard to get. so i look around and found a cheap lens 300mm f4 canon lens. It was smeared in fungus and that's why it was cheap. However I managed to service the lens my self and clean the elements. That was the most awesome deal that i ever got of ebay.
So now i have the lens and a canon 1100 d camera and tried to make my passion a reality, at the first try itself I notices that my mind wasn't to wandering anymore. It gave me a different sense, it took me into another dimension, as i delve deeper into my dream of becoming a wildlife photographer i came to realize my mind becoming calmer and enjoyed begin with myself and the nature. alone in the middle of forest talking to my self and thinking about how to get the perfect shot of that beautiful bird sitting close to me a few meters ahead without spooking it. As I practiced this more often I was sure that this will be the tool that I will be using to clear my self from the pressure and stress that one faced in life and it did gave me that calm and relaxer mindset.
Another advantage was that i was able to see the magical nature of earth and was able experience its addictive powers. It was like a drug to me. and I was able to witness some of the amazing flora and fauna otherwise that I would have missed. I was really happy that I found this passion. If any of you who is reading haven't figured out their passion, i believe the we should give everything a try and will definitely find one that gives us a drive.
