Doha Port

Serenity

The cold breeze stroked my face in the early Friday morning, it was Friday the 13th and it failed to scare my spirit as my feet brought me to Doha Port with my shivering hands tightly held my camera trying to find interesting subject to capture while the world seems to be in deep slumber.

Tranquility

The scene was so calm that the world seems to be at peace as I take a deep breath, filling my lungs with fresh air as my mind raced for still life to be captured with my lens as I look towards the empty fishing boats anchored by the bay.

A New Hope

Slowly the sun rises epically in the East seeping into the blue horizon of the cold water of the Arabian Sea as its golden rays brings a new life, a new day, a new hope.

"And he shall be as the light of the morning, when the sun rises, even a morning without clouds; as the tender grass springing out of the earth by clear shining after rain"

(2 Samuel 23:4)

Be My Special Viewer As I Chase Colors and Lights

Doha Skyline @ Corniche

Manual Mode | 120s | f//11 | ISO 100 |  No Flash

For almost three months, my soul has been obsessed by a craft known as  photography as I  chased the magical colors and lights capturing them in a box called camera which record God's beautiful creation - the breathtaking beauty of earth, its water and skies, and the grandeur of man's intelligence through architecture, the edifices that have risen from the once barren lands and the gamut of feelings written on the human faces which reveals the even smallest details of thoughts, experiences and understanding.

Manual Mode | 1/100s | f/11 | ISO 100 | 40mm | No Flash

As I begin my journey to photography battling the controls of my Canon 600D camera knobs and buttons ensuring that my shutter speed, ISO and aperture are in unison while I  try to focus my eye in the viewfinder, I realized that at that instance - once my  trembling finger press the shutter button I am going to frame the world in a magical snapshot of a "moment in time" wherein it will be preserved over time and it becomes eternal.

The Sailors of Arabia @ Corniche

AV Mode| 1/160s | f/16 | ISO 100 | 176mm | No Flash

As an enthusiast with barely three months of amateur experience, I realized that there is something magical on everything even in the most mundane things, that Life is "really" Beautiful, life is no longer simple - there's a story behind EVERYTHING - for every photographs, there are three parts attached to it: the SUBJECT, the PHOTOGRAPHER and the VIEWER, and each  is nothing without the other. So please, I humbly share with you my photographs and kindly join me here in Palipasan in my magical tour to blog photography - BE MY SPECIAL VIEWER.
