Photography as a hobby

Taking photos is one of my favorite hobbies. It is very enjoyable and fun. To grab the camera and go out shooting is a great way for relaxation. Especially if you live in such a beautiful city like Lublin. Photography helps me to forget my worries and see the beauty in everyday life. It is a great way to capture memories that can stay with me forever. It is a wonderful feeling when you get a nice shot, the one you were looking for, and can share it with other people.

Some say that taking nice photos is not possible if you do not have a great (expensive) camera. Though, I would disagree with those people and say that this is not a camera that takes photos, but you. Camera is just a tool for photographer and he should have a total control over his tool in order to get desired outcome.

I am not a photographer and have never attended any photography classes. I just wanted to see the world from a different perspective and share this perspective with others. So I grabbed my not very advanced Canon camera and started experimenting. For this purpose I even opened my Instagram account and started sharing photos with others, and at the same time observing the works of professional photographers.

So, I want to share with you some of my shots of Lublin architecture, people and events.
