If only I have a Canon DSLR...

First up, congratulations to all the winners for the Nuffnang Regional Blog Awards! It was a real shame I didn't go for the awards ceremony, it would be such an honour to see some of the best bloggers in Asia Pacific. People like ieat, Miao, Kenny Sia are all people that I really respect and had been a fan of them for quite some time. However, I would probably look like some kid that was seperated with his parents between all the crowd ba? Also, I really wished I had participated and somehow, by extreme luck, get into the Best Hidden Gem award! I do not even mind not winning the award, the very fact that I get nominated between all these wonderful and amazing bloggers already fill my heart with joy!


As a food blogger, there is something that I feel really ashamed about: the fact that I have NO CAMERA! Well, actually, I did have a compact camera, but thanks to the fact that not everyday's Sunday, it has to be broken before I start out this blog. Luckily, I do have some really wonderful friends (that are also some really wonderful food critics) that had been lending me their cameras for the past 4 months. 

Despite the fact that I (Most of the time) is able to borrow cameras from my friends, I generally feel like this every time...




Well, look at the guy on the left, I think he represents me pretty well! You can see that 'I' am really focused and trying the best to take a really good shot of the food, but there is just something that is lacking. The fact that I do not have my own camera and am nothing more than a poor Secondary School student who is not able to afford his camera doesn't really help make me feel better 1 bit. If only I am able to have my own Canon DSLR camera, that I can take high-quality photos of my food. I am sure that will bring a smile to my face!





Now look at the huge difference! Taking photos does not necessarily means that I have to take picture of  fancy, gourmet food served in a 5-star restaurant! With a Canon DSLR, I can take a photo of something as simple as bread, and with enough photography skill, I can make something so simple look delicious and fanciful in my photos! Of course, if I want to improve in my photography skill, it is essential that I have the equipments needed, so a Canon DSLR is a must-have for me!





Of course, I have a wish that someday, my blog would be recognized and I would receive awards like ieat, one of my favourite food bloggers ever! For me, it is not about winning the award, it is about the fact that the amount of effort I put into my blog is actually being recognized makes me happy! Of course, one of the deciding factors for a good food blog is whether the photos I take look appetizing and attracts readers to regularly read my blog! Thus, getting a Canon DSLR would make it more possible for me to achieve this dream of mine!



Of course, even though I may be a food blogger, I will not only take photos of food with my camera. I have this habit of taking photos of what is typical in our life, like a wall with a crack of it. It may seem boring and mundane but with the right angle and good camera, even something as common as that would look like an artwork in the hands of a photographer!

I hope that readers of this blog do support me, this poor student who only has enough money for recess and lunch to get his hands on a Canon camera! Do vote for me by clicking the button below!
