take great photos

I wish i could take great pictures expecially of friends and family then maybe do some scrapbooking.

I love wandering around and taking abstract photos. I’ve been doing it the past year and I want to keep this goal so that I keep doing it. I like the calm observant state that I feel when I’m going around and taking photos – I need to keep that in my life.

So I have a photo site setup at:

and I have even more photos at:

I want to take beautiful pictures of my family, ones i will be happy to look back on in years to come.

I love photography but i really don’t have time that I need .

Now, I just need to spend some time using the special features, and more importantly, finding some interesting subjects. Need some inspiration, motivation…..

Plan to take a photo every day and read and apply an article on better composition, f-settings, and exposures, really get to know what this camera is capable of.

I’m buying a new camera and I’m excited about photography again.

Got my new camera today – Fuji S9100.It’s a digital fixed-lens 300 mm camera,9 megapixels, plus I have a doubler lens extention for it and a wide angle and stuff. Since I’m into outdoor journalism, I figured I kight as well have a decent camera. It doesn’t zoom as much as I would like, but to get anything with a bigger zoom you have to move to SLR cameras which require a lense to be bought seperate and they’re tonnes of money that I just don’t feel like spening at the moment. This camera will be excellent for what I need it for, and maybe one day I will upgrade.

some of my photos are nice – but some day i want to take fabulous photos. part of the secret i think is getting out of kansas so someplace prettier….

also more practice.

in addition to beautiful photos (i have a special affecton for dragonflies, butterflies, & various bugs and insects.) I also want to take wacky intersting photos like lomography

Like many people photography became a recent interest/hobby with the purchase of a digital camera a few years ago. It was a catalyst in my life. It not only gave me the photography bug but opened up my creative channel in a way that is continuing to evolve today. My creative spirit was awakened! Good photos look pleasing – great photos tell stories…I want to tell stories to the world…
