First shot:Bonsai.

It was a hot day in our school when our teacher left us in our classroom to fix something in the faculty, some of my classmates was roaming around, some making jokes, chitchat, sound tripping and some were just sleeping. Me? I was one of the students roaming around in the corridor at the second floor building in Mother Francisca building, some class were going on till I recognize this plant in the other section it was a bonsai.

Every classroom were request to bring their own potted plants per group and add score in our homeroom subject. After that time I was bored and nothing to do with, when I saw this plant(bonsai) and experiment it using my Samsung G600 phone camera which also contain 5 Megapixel camera. So this is my first time to take a shot in my photography, some of my friends wondering and ask something if what I am doing and my answer is "nothing" but I'm already taking pictures at that time ^^,. here are my photos of a bonsai:

Container-grown plants, including trees and many other kinds of plants, have a history stretching back at least to the early times of Egyptian culture.[2] Pictorial records from around 4000 BC show trees growing in containers cut into rock. Pharaoh Ramesses III donated gardens consisting of potted olives, date palms, and other plants to hundreds of temples. Pre-Common-Era India used container-grown trees for medicine and food.

The word penzai first appeared in writing in China during the Jin Dynasty, in the period 265AD – 420AD.[3] Over time, the practice developed into new forms in various parts of China, Japan, Korea, Vietnam and Thailand. Notably, container-grown trees were popularized in Japan during China's Song Dynasty, a period of cultural growth when the Japanese experienced and adopted their own versions of many Chinese practices. At this time, the term for dwarf potted trees was "the bowl's tree" (鉢の木 hachi-no-ki [4]?), denoting the use of a deep pot. The c.1300 rhymed prose essay, Rhymeprose on a Miniature Landscape Garden, by the Japanese Zen monk Kokan Shiren, outlines aesthetic principles for bonsai,bonseki, and garden architecture itself.

And indeed it was fun full day for me even it is a bored day for the others ^__^. photography saves my day from being bored to an artistic shot. Taking my first shot is already a good result. The beginning of my new success starts here and that will lead towards my dreams and achieve my goals stand on my own and own it.
