When I first started shooting, I didn't have anything in mind that I wanted to capture; I'd go out and take photos of everything, hoping I'd capture something. I didn't even know how to use my camera at the time (Canon T1i) but I just wanted to see what I could create. I didn't know about aperture or ISO, I only knew about shutter speed, so that was all that I'd adjust. As a result, my photos were flat, lifeless, and really nothing to talk about; but at the time, I loved them.
This is one of my first photos, from when I began shooting "city scapes" in January of 2011. Full of noise, over exposed, blurry and even crooked although I was using a tripod. Looking back on it now, it wouldn't be something I'd share with anyone (until now) as I clearly see the flaws; but I also see where I started from. I didn't know what I was doing really, but who ever does when they try something for the first time?
