PatO and Annette - I think you two are the ones saying you are practicing panning - I just read that you have to be sure to turn off the IS and thought it may be something ya didn't think about....


p15 thanks for the tip, janice.


you're welcome. I also read that some lenses have a panning recognition feature and if that is engaged you can leave IS on...

I remember getting interested in photography while attending Iowa State College (Now University). There was a poor ratio of girls to boys, so not many opportunities for dates. There was a note to students, of a photo club meeting that featured female models. So, I joined with my Kodak Pony and Flash. Sorry to say, the social results were not as expected, but I was hooked on photos, and that was a good thing. I used what we called "drive by photography" in business. We had to take photos of all the property being considered for loans, but the quality of the results would be suspect. After retirement, I find myself carrying a camera everywhere, and editing endless hours waiting for my wife to yell down to my boars nest, "are you ever coming up here for dinner"? Ansel Adams, I am not. A happy elder with a passion, I am.

I got into photography because of my critters and that led to my love for photographing sunrises :)









One of my altime favorite sunrises

The really neat things about photography today, is that there are photo ops everywhere and once you get past the cost of the equipment, it is not very expensive. We have been lucky to have the ability to travel and we drive for the most part. We just returned from a 10,000 mile 5 week drive to the Canadian Maritime and back. As we returned, our Land Cruiser turned over 200,000 miles while driving through Chicago. I love to shoot landscapes and trips like this one, provide many opportunities. Canada has some of the most spectacular scenery that the planet has to offer. My love of photography is only eclipsed by my wife of 58 years and a huge family thereafter. It keeps me off the streets and out of trouble most of the time.

Welcome to Day 211 :) Today it's all about Why You Became A Photographer. I just kind of stumbled my way into it. Bought a camera and took pictures. It wasn't until this forum that I even remotely became interested in knowing how my camera worked. I have found that there are so many moments in life that need to be documented.
Here are just a few. I look forward to seeing what drives y'all.


Cats and pigs and cows and flowers and birds that can't fly and beautiful landscapes - that's why I take pictures, too. My daughter tells me i like to make things look better than they really are - and to think she is a writer... Was at camp this weekend, so here are a few I took.

Santa Fe, your horses are beautiful. However the photo of the month is the one of your husband at the Lincoln Memorial. It grabs my heart. My husband is also confined to a wheelchair and loves our U.S. as well. He talks frequently of his service days. I can just see him right next to your husband sharing the moment.

I am happy to see you start us out today, although RiverNan did a great job while you were in your private time.

I started taking pictures with a Kodak film camera when I was twelve years old. My aunt gave it to me to document the small trips we made.

My reasons for taking pictures changed as I grew aware of the beautiful moments in life and hoped folks would see them as I through the lens of the camera.

I'm glad it touched you and understand your love and pride in your husband. Those who serve overseas for our country give more than the time and energy they spend there, they give a part of their soul.

This particular photograph means a great deal to me and is the main reason I love photography...the wonderful memories they bring back when those times are gone.

Thank you, E Mang. You are one of my favorite photographers, and I look forward to seeing your posts on this thread. From them I have learned about composition and beauty in simplicity.
