Introduction

I am not a photographer - not even an amateur - just a hobbyist, and I didn't specifically dedicate time to take picture... just as and when. I like taking pictures of any object because every object has its own beautiful side when you see it at certain angle.

This blog will be dedicated to display pictures those I took so far. Don't expect to be wow-ed because nothing special. Anyway, I hope you enjoy it....

So sorry if the watermark in the picture a bit annoying but it is a way to protect my copyright.

If you have any comment, feedback, or advice, please leave it in the guest book at the bottom of this page. Thanks.

Discus - Beautiful Fresh Water Fish

Object: My Discus - Beautiful Fresh Water Fish
Camera: Toshiba (digital camera - borrowed from my friend)
Year Taken: Either in 2000 or 2001
Note: It took me sometime till they posed at that position - the best in my view - because you can see the face (they look at you!) and the body color & pattern. This body color & pattern pattern which makes this discus fish gorgeous and stands out among the fresh water fishes. I kept them since they were as little as 20 cents coin... it's amazing to watch them grew and fed them with your bare hand. If I were had chance to keep this kind of fish once again, I will.
