Dear World,

You have tricked me, seduced me and kicked me in the butt! It doesn’t matter now. I’m planning some kind of revenge, revenge in my twisted sense of humor which only you, me and few others understand. I know revenge shouldn’t be funny nor fun but trust me I’ll make it fun, for me at least! Is that blabbering? no it’s not it’s part of the plan (That’s my story and I’m sticking with it :P ). You see here, I wanted to start a blog for a long time now and actually I registered some blogs. But this one is different, I can feel it! even if you can’t. What makes it so different you ask? Well, let me tell you something, at this age, one needs an outlet of the stress you give us all the time and it can’t be any better than blogging in a country like Saudi Arabia especially in a University like UPM. Now I don’t intend to blog about those two particular places exclusively but quite often I’m sure I will! I’m just blogging about my own life, everyday experiences and most importantly about photos I take every now and then! Now enough about me, let us talk about you. I love how you mix things up, a sunny day then a rainy day then a just cloudy day. I don’t like it when you be consistent like in Saudi Arabian summer. I wish you mix things up a little there as well! Along with this open letter I’m posting some photo I took today. It’s some lady you sent me today to play with. Shame it’s only a ladybug.  Here have a look:

It's nice to play with those little creatures!

Ladybug at St. James' Park

Shutter: 1/15 sec; Aperture: F13; Focal Length: 135mm

I have played with this ladybug for up to 10 minutes. These moments make me regret not buying a macro lens for my Nikon D80 :( . mental note: next thing to buy! However, I made an obvious mistake here I should’ve had a larger aperture to gain less depth of field and more shutter speed. A noob mistake I say. In my defense, I was shooting after a small nap in the park and I don’t see that it’s that bad. It’s not that shaky after all with a decent depth of field!

When I blog about photos I took I will mention the circumstances, theorize a bit and criticize myself. I will look forward for your critiques and I  I hope I haven’t bored you too much and I appreciate that you’ve read that long! post a comment ;) .

Sincerely Yours,

Omair Taibah
