Thanks for visiting The Cut-Away, this is a blog I registered mainly to post the photos I took using my first D-SLR. As you can see from the photo above, I am a Canon 500D user and I am still new in this, so please forgive me if the photos posted up are ugly or looked unprofessional.
Anyways, I would like to take this opportunity to thank Nate Wg for snapping the photo above, and being the first guru guiding me on my new gadget. I have more to learn from him though, since he said my composition was bad.
This is one of the earliest photo taken by me.
Why “The Cut-Away”? Actually, this is a production term, which has the meaning of “take you away from the scene momentarily, and back to the scene again”. I applied it here and used it as my blog title with one intention, hoping that my photos and messages will bring you away from the real world momentarily before you continue with your daily routine.
Even though the photos are not really that good, yet, I believe I will manage to get better shots in the future. Being a new user is never easy since there are lots of things for me to learn from my SLR. Hope I can master it as soon as possible and get more lenses in order to capture good photos.
To side-track a bit here, I actually gave my camera a name and treating him like my own brother, I named him Derrick. I seriously need to take good care of him and I cannot bear loosing him. I know, my action is kinda naive, but what to do when this is my property? A gift that was given by my parents?
Thank you mummy! Thank you daddy! I'll take good care of Derrick!
Anyways, let's carry on. After reconsidering about it, I think it would be better if I post only 5 photographs maximum per entry, just to show, perhaps, the best instead of spamming the whole blog with photographs.
However, who knows what will happen in the future? I might change my mind or just upload a few photographs more. But till then, the remaining photos will be uploaded to my Flickr account. The link is located on top of the blog, click on it and you will be transported to my account right away!
I have been repeating that I am just a starter and might not able to get the perfect shots at all (again, I am learning). So please forgive me if some of the colour tone and composition looks odd to you. Just so you know, I might edit some photos by changing the brightness and contrast just like the photograph above. So it might look more attractive and perhaps to cover off the flaws.
