What he says:
Photography always never fails to fascinate me. It all started when I bought my Canon PowerShot A80 for an overseas trip to New Zealand a year ago. More opportunities followed when I chanced upon a few photography-related forums and made friends with a bunch of enthusiasts. Photography outings let us share our knowledge and that is how I developed an interest in macro shooting. What intrigues me more is seeing small and tiny subjects up close. In the near future, I would love to experience landscape and wildlife photography.
