Where It All Began_The Tale of a Motographer. This is an introduction of myself on how i came to be in the position that i am today.

in #introduceyourself7 years ago (edited)

Bonjour people of Earth, My name is Dhanush Achar and I’m an Mechanical engineer, an automotive enthusiast and an aspiring Motographer from the beautiful city of Mangalore, located in the state of Karnataka, India. My love toward Automobiles turned into something I’m really grateful for today and here is How and Where It All Began.

Ever since I was a child I was passionate about automobiles and photography. So naturally when I grew up I just had to club the two together and Walla I became an Automotive Photographer, A Motographer as I’d like to call it

My souvenir after every shoot

So it all goes back to when I was in 12th grade, I had saved up a substantial sum enough to buy myself riding gear, but at the last minute I decided that the money would be best spent if I were to pick up a better camera. As at the time I had an Olympus digital camera which was quite out dated and I already had a run-of-the-mill safety gear which would suffice. So I ended up with a brand new Nikon D3000 DSLR. And since then, I have never turned back.

During my Engineering days, I used to go on many rides and drives with my close ones and used to click pictures of everyone, especially of the vehicles that we went in. That’s when i was told by my friends that I had an eye for Automotive Photography. But to be honest, it was a happy accident that the pictures I clicked came out pretty decent and I owe it to my friends for pushing me into this. Since then, every shoot I have ever done has always somehow clicked in my favour. Have done over 100+ shoots rite here in mangalore from small bikes and cars all the way to Superbikes and Supercars. And the best part is, I get to ride/drive them all. There has never been a happier moment for me when I get to test new vehicles and it’s all thanks to my camera.

Another happy accident was when I had been to University Level Photography Contest and ended up bagging the 3rd place. I say it was a happy accident because my intentions for that trip from college to Bangalore with my college buddies was purely to have fun and nothing else as I thought it’s a state level contest, the competition would be quite difficult.

Motorcycling was always in my DNA, hence me and 2 other friends of mine @sanjayjkamath and Akshay Murdeshwar created a biking brotherhood named RevLimiterZ and over the years the brotherhood has come a long way. Initially what we thought would be a small group of like-minded petrol-head friends became a much bigger group supporting many charitable events in and around mangalore and ride for various causes, trying to help as many and make a difference along our journey, as a team. We promote safety as no life should be taken lightly.

Don’t be Insane, Cover your brain”.

Photography has become a big part of my life. It defines who I am today. I was a whole different person before all this started. It’s like entering into a tunnel and emerging on the other side as a new person all together. This journey through my lens has gotten me so many friends and I have made so many memories that I am forever grateful for.
Here are a few snaps from few of my shoots, Enjoy.

About a year ago, one of my good friends had told me about steemit and insisted on me joining the platform. He told me it’s the next big thing and how right he was. That person is none other than Mr. Meghan Naik or better known to everyone here as @firepower. Thank You for introducing me to this platform @firepower, I hope I do you justice.

welcome to steemit dear friend @speedracer, I've met with good friends by searching 'introduceyourself' tag, i love newbies and delight in giving them a hand of friendship. Love from @maxdevalue, am sending some steem to your wallet right away, welcome on-board! Your contribution is needed here in steemit, and with your photographic power; you'll do great here.

I wish you well, take time and lookout for people of like-mind, make new friends especially minnows and newbies of same interest, grow together and support each other, that's the secret here, don't be carried away by those that has made it with huge followers and big up votes, Rome was not built in a day, one step at a time, never follow people because they are popular rather follow people of like passion because they're likely the people that'll value your posts and up vote them, take time and construct good comment on any post that you like and value, don't be fast to post too many posts in a day, 2 to 4 is okay for the day but make sure they're nice and educative and you ready to reply all comment no matter how insignificant it might be, there are more to learn as time goes on. I care for you.

Thank you so much for those wise words @maxdevalue and for sending me some steem to start of this steemit journey. its feels good to be here and make new friends such as yourself, looking forward for the future endeavours. :)

Nice meeting you beloved.

Like wise :)

Welcome to steemit community...

What a wonderfully written intro you got here.

Do read my below recipes to have a successful steemit experience.

RECIPES FOR SUCCESS

  • Be yourself, originality matters a lot. Write and submit quality content at least three times weekly.

  • You can get into arguments but without being disrespectful to people to avoid down votes

  • Upvote and follow posts that interest you...as well as people who upvote and follow you. Reciprocity matters. However, be careful not to exceed 20 upvotes per day as doing that will begin to deplete ur steem power. This is important.

  • Spend sometime to comment on other people's posts daily.

Observe this rules and success will follow you. Wishing you best of luck in your steemit activities.

I'm @eurogee. I long for success and always on the lookout for the like minds.

Be my partner in this pursuit of SUCCESS

@eurogee, Thank you so much and also thank you for the advice. shall keep them in mind. :)
