When and how did you start photography?

• Well, I started holding a camera when I was in high school. Taga-hawak lang po coz my father is also a part-time photographer doing gigs on wedding, birthdays, family reunion, etc.. But later on I got interested assisting my father for his event photography and learned from him about photography. Kaya, hands-on tips on every event and learning the proper manual setting of apertures, shutter speed (we’re using film then).

When and how did you start photography?

• Year 2000, I started with a Sony DSC S30 digital camera (a merely 1.3MP camera!), it was surprisingly good with a f2.8 max aperture and during that time, astig ka kung naka-digital camera ka. When it died I bought a Canon A520 camera which is the top of the line among the Canon PnS line then. Then I moved to the ‘big guns’ line - DSLR.

From a humble group of 10 or so people last May 1, 2007, the group has grown into almost 700 members in a span of 2 years.

PinoyCSers continue to make friends with fellow photography enthusiasts based in Singapore. Celebrating the second year anniversary of the group last May 1, 2009 at the Singapore Botanic Gardens, we do away with our cameras (most of us anyway) and savored the camaraderie and fun during this outing. In as much as we would love for the pioneer members to attend the celebration, they are already oceans away from Singapore. The group is now tracking members as far as Canada, Malaysia, Philippines and even Australia.

Thank you all for your support for the site and as we celebrate this anniversary, we are launching a limited edition version 3 of our official PinoyCSers tshirt. Head over to the forums and let Eric Matias know your intention of buying a shirt.

More power to us all and, as always, keep on shooting!

When and how did you start photography?

• I started teaching myself photography when I first had my digital camera. It was Fujitsu 4800 acquired way back 2002. I believe it was like 1.3MP and I got it through eBay. The first and only thing I got in eBay. I then started learning the terms, basics, and functions of a camera. Was keen on getting SLR camera after a year but it was rather too expensive for me. So I settled for those one-click, twist, wait for the light type camera. Instamatic!

  So it really took me a while before I got my first DSLR and be serious about it. It was March 2007 when I decided it’s high time for me to upgrade my skills… and my camera :P

  And so it started!
