How to spend a day taking photos of my city
It made me
Fascinated
 "A camera makes you to stop and smell the roses"
How I did it: I pack my camera in my purse and just stopped and took a picture whenever I saw something that caught my attention. It's something that slows down your day. And a great way to go for walks. Lessons & tips: Taking photos helps you to stop and enjoy your surroundings. Especially on a clear day. Resources: Looking at pictures other people have taken, especially on blogs. Even the smallest most ordinary subject becomes interesting behind a camera. |

It made me

How I did it: I am not an avid photographer, so I used a normal digital camera. I begin at the city park, and then went to the botanical gardens. From there I went to the stockyards to capture an idea of the history of this city. My favorite place of the day was in the developing parts of downtown. I drive by these buildings every day, but I rarely appreciate the beauty and fine architecture that they are comprised of. Read how I did it…

I’m finding out that Orlando is a pretty big city. I’ve been taking pics wherever I go, however, this is going to take more than a day

Okay this was fun. I took the day to walk around town taking picutes of my favorite places to upload to the 43 places site. Everyone was getting ready for graduation so there was a lot of activity on campus. A lot of people were taking pictures so I wasn’t self-conscious about snapping away. Whoo-hoo. I’ve completed one of my goals.

This sounds like a wonderful idea. I have taken a lot of shots of my town and the historical markers but never really organized them. I think this would be a great way to spend my next day off.

a couple of days ago, a group of flickrites took a little walk through the abandoned train station and other places and took many photos. it was fun.
i took both my cameras, the 35mm one and the digital one.
i haven’t developed the film yet, cause i’d like to try and do two at once (my tank holds two) and i haven’t had a chance to go out again. i also need some supplies since my last film were a bit…spotted. probably cause i don’t have an actual stop bath for the developer or something like that, but i found a solution.

Viewing the City Through New Eyes
2 years ago
To mark my last day of official day of freedom before the new semester starts I set aside a block of time to focus on this much cheered goal on my list. Arriving in the CBD my plans were nearly thwarted when I turned on my camera only to be greeted with the ominous message “Card Not Initialized”. Luckily a reformat of the card resolved the problem and I began to happily snap pictures of all those sights that I normally breeze by in a hurry to reach my destination.
At first I was concerned that I hadn’t put much effort into planning my excursion. But I quickly relaxed and decided to just wander and devote my attentions to what ever peeked my interest.
I often find huge sprawling cityscapes a challenge to photograph but today I viewed it as an opportunity to practice with my camera’s ample features. By the end of the day I felt I had developed an improved kinship with the many functions and I was intuitively adjusting the settings without much conscious thought. I still have much to learn but todays outing has evoked a new enthusiasm towards photography.
