"Way Back When" Photo: @dreamsmatter.photography Several years ago, this very spot served as my training ground on long exposure photography. It all started when I bought myself a second-hand Canon 400D with 18-55mm kit lens in Hidalgo, Quiapo. Also, I bought a Haida ND16 circular filter to basically perform and apply the principles that I learned from watching Youtube tutorials about long exposure photography. Since then, I needed an inspiration. I’ve been browsing photos from our finest photographers in Flickr and Multiply and got totally hooked up with this photography genre. Yes, those first shots, I’m mostly frustrated with the outcome, but because of those mistakes, I learned that dissatisfaction with your own work is not a sign of growth, yet it can lead you to failure. It means that you must develop your eyes beyond your current skill level, until you become aware of what areas you can work to improve on. This is a meaningful photo to me because when I look at it, I will never forget the night I took it, the crisp air on my face as I walked through the bay area while I'm staring the breathtaking sunset and the smell of fishy salt water. I remember exactly where I was in life, where I actually began. #travel #travelgram #travelph #travelphotography #cityscape #cityphotography #photography #wheninmnl #discovermnl #landscapephotography #longexposure_shots #longexposure #canon #canonphotography #sunset #sunsets #bluehour #magichour #goldenhour #harbor #manila #dreamsmatterproject
