Should I or should I not.....

hmmmm decision, decision, decision...RM,RM,RM....

pickled herring- I've taken the liberty of reproducing your photo here ! This is a mavellous photo. Look at the depth of field which brings the subject to the front---brilliant !

When I was in the Teachers' Training College in Singapore, my main subject was audio-visual-aids, and Photography was my speciality. . That period I was introduced to the wonder-world of serious photography.

Through the course , we had to dabble with various types of camers. From the standard Canon , Minolta, Exakta (SLR) , Asahi Pentax, Sea Gull (China's first SLR) and the tough , rugged German SLR, Praktika Nova, Single-lense refles, twin-lense reflex and studio cameras like Hassleblad and others

As for lenses, Tamron and Sigma were used for tele of up to 200mm.

Three hours a week, we had to spend in the dark room , processing negatives (remember those ?, before digital comes in ..), developing them, printing photos, enlarging them, mixing developing chemicals, content with 'depths of fields ' for every shot, colour filters and its effects, pick, choose and select the types of print paper ( from bromide type to others), play around with the ASA settings, tried time-lapse photography and doing various techniques like 'visage' and so onin the dark room---can't remember them anymore.

We had to do macro photography, composition and also enter various photography competition. Oh---by the way, I didn't win any... *shrugging my shoulder*

I even started my own dark-room at home and my bed-room used to smell of 'fixers' , the final wash which is also the most stinky of all the chemicals --- much to late brother's chagrin.

Anyway, through the ages, other interests took over photography . But lately, a friend from Singapore started her photoblog and the beauty of photograpy ( especially digital which is so much cheaper) , has so inspired me and got me thinking again.

Should I pick photography up again ?


Quick Update 1

Feraris are something we mortals only dream of. At that time my Feraris were the Nikons (Nikonmats, Nikon Fs) and Leicas.
