Nunatus tell us about your background? How you got into photography? And is Nunatas is your real name it's quite rare among Filipinos to be named Nunatus.
Nunatus Tongkus
I bought my first slr/slt march 5, 2011... Before buying, i did a lot of researching about the latest cameras, it boiled down to sony a55 and canon's 60d... The rest was history... I bought a camera just for family occasions document my daughter's activities, in short just for a hobby... Thinking just like what people not into photography thinks of a camera, when you get an slr, it will translate to good pictures, which off course is not the case...
My real name is not Nunatus Tongkus, but my mom named me after the Patron Saint of pregnant women(St. Raymond Nunatus)... I just did not like the idea then, to post my real name on social networking site, so i just thought of a catchy name... Hehehe

So Sony a55 won the battle, what happened after you got the camera?
