I'm so damn excited about this. Photography has long been something I've wanted to take seriously, but never found the time or opportunity for it back in Mumbai. Boulder, to me, is an ideal location for someone with a passion for photography. It's just so freakin beautiful!

So, today I joined the Boulder Photography Club at the University of Colorado at Boulder (CU). It's a simple student club on the CU campus that has a whole bunch of undergrads. I don't care, it's still the best opportunity I've got to pursue photography. That too for just 15 bucks for the whole year, haha.

No, I'm not a great photographer, far from it in fact. I'm still going to run around with my trusty point-n-shoot (Canon SD800IS), that I love dearly. The goal is to understand photography from a technical standpoint, get a grip of exposure, ISO, shutter-speed, what have you, and figure out when to use what. I also want to learn some basic post-processing techniques in Photoshop or whatever (yep, I don't know how to use Photoshop). Once I'm down with all that, I'll unquestionably graduate to a dSLR; I just feel the need to be ready for it.

As I've been saying about everything Boulder these days - so psyched!

More shots of an amazing Colorado sunset.

I'm going to consolidate all these pictures in a common tag on my blog as well as a single album on my Facebook which I'll very appropriately call 'OMG Boulder'. In fact, this set will include shots of everything that fascinates me about Boulder and probably Colorado in general. These pictures will also be on my photo blog (http://photolog.posterous.com) and will also be linked through my twitter.
