"There are no rules for good photographs, there are only good photographs" ~ Ansel Adams
You won't believe how many people hold the their cameras in the wrong way, yet they capture beautiful pictures with nice compositions too.
There's nothing wrong with learning it the right way as it increases stability and make the chances of taking shaky photos lesser but if you feel more comfortable holding it the way you do, then so be it.
No one can deny the power of photoshop on photography. You can adjust the lighting, contrast, colors, brighten dark photos or dim bright photos, and create different moods for your photographs. It is the first aid for perfect shots that have been taken in the most unfavorable conditions.
Many photographers know how to deal with this powerful application. However, many other people don't know how to use it to its potential to bring out the best of the photo, and to be honest I'm one of those people. =P
However, thanks to many photoshop users for creating something called "actions" that could help us in adjusting many elements in the photo and add some spice and flavor to it. *yeah... I'm kind of hungry now lol*. I usually adjust few more things after I apply the action like increase the contrast or the brightness or something. There are many beautiful downloadable actions available on the internet that could help you create a certain mood to your photos.
Try and download some of these actions, open the photo you want, and then press the Play button! =D

YAY! Finally I start this blog. I thought about it a lot before making my mind to actually create it. As an amateur in photography, I didn’t have much confidence in my photography, and always thought that it will never be as good as other photographers’ work, however, after browsing other photography blogs and forums I noticed that I’m not the only one who feels that way.
My dear fellow amateurs =) it’s OK! It’s ok to feel that way. It’s a good thing actually. That should push you to try to improve yourselves, create your own style of photography, but not give up on your hobby.
We usually, if not always, compare our photography with the photography of other professional photographers which causes our self-esteem to drop. When I thought about it, I figured that when we do that… it’s like comparing a painting of an art graduate and a painting of a 1st grader. Not the best example but you get the meaning. =P
So, here I showcase my photography, share my knowledge with you, and make you feel good about your photography if you thought that yours is better than mine. =P However, whenever you feel down about your work, remember to say… “eye Photograph” =)
P.S: English is not my first language so you might notice some grammar mistakes and stuff... so yeah try and ignore that. lol =P
