Believe me, I did not ever think that photography will become one of my favorite pastimes. With so many mobile devices with cameras and digital cameras available at throwaway prices, photography is no more an expensive hobby. In fact, if we follow the social media sites closely, we will find that many people are doing photography (both amateur and professional) and are in a constant endeavor to promote their photography pages and sites. At the same time, this is contributing towards the promotion of photography as a hobby.
My first camera was Kodak EC 200 though I did not take many snaps with it. It was in December 2011 when I purchased Sony Cybershot (DSC-S3000). It's a pretty low-end, point-and-shoot digital camera with features like 10.1 megapixels resolution, sweep panorama, smile shutter, 4x optical zoom and so on. I clicked a number of photos on nature and other themes with this camera and this worked quite fine. I continued photoing with this till March 2013. It was the time when I thought I should go for a better camera and I found that Canon Powershot SX500 IS fulfills my requirements. Of course, I had my budget constraints to be taken into consideration. Canon Powershot SX500 IS is also a point-and-shoot camera but with better features than Sony Cybershot DSC-S3000. Prominent features include ultra zoom, image stabilization, full manual control, 16 megapixels resolution, improved autofocus, 24-720 (30x) lens with F3.4-5.8 aperture, and Digic 4 image processor. This camera helped me take a number of quality shots that were applauded by many audiences. It was in November 2013 that I decided to create my photography page on Facebook (Susmit Bharadwaj Photography) and began uploading all the pics on that page. If you ever get the time to visit my page, you will find a number of photo albums covering nature, tourist sites, water bodies, and birds. Recently, I went to Chintamani Kar Bird Sanctuary (Narendrapur) and Chupi Char (Purbasthali, Burdwan) and took a number of beautiful bird photos. All these are available on my page for display. Two photographer friends (Bimalendu and Soumyadip) accompanied me during my trip to Purbasthali, making it more enjoyable. In future, I have plans to visit other wildlife sanctuaries in West Bengal and abroad and get more snaps on flora and fauna.
