Mini hand ball shot


When I was 11yeas old my grand mother gave me my first Canon camera.
It was a Canon powershot A570IS, a very good camera. One day my brother had a mini had ball game.
Mini hand ball is sport it’s a mix of soccer and basket ball. The players use a small pink ball.
The game was being held at my school. The kids were playing against their parents.
Like you can imagine the parents won the game, but it was a very good game.
Any way, one of my brother’s shot on goal was so good I took a picture, it was the best picture I had of my brother. That’s the reason I put it on display on my blog.
My best ever picture of my brother in the world.
As you can see he is in the air and with his small pink ball.
He too could not believe his eyes, when he saw it.
Lots of people would think that I used Photoshop, to do it but I did not even have Photoshop at that time. Sometimes a good picture is a good picture you don’t need to Photoshop it!

Summer wakeboard



I think I was nine when I started taking pictures.
My mom gave me my first camera. It was the first digital camera.
It was a 2 mega pixel Kodak camera.
Two mega pixels are not much but the things you can do with it are amazing,
In the summer I would take pictures of my family swimming in the lake.
One day my uncle brought his boat to the lake and I took my camera with me.
I took some pictures on the boat and really enjoyed taking them. What has made a big difference in my photography career is the picture of my cousin falling on his wake board into the lake.
When I saw the picture I could not believe my eyes,
I did not think I would be able to take a phenomenal picture like that at the age of 9.
And to see my other pictures of wake boarding you can see my wake boarding set on flickr.com.
