Fabulous photos E.

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.


You've been in my thoughts and prayers ~ good to see you back! Love the examples! I've always loved photography and I got my first Kodak at age 11. We didn't have a lot of money for film or developing so each photo I took had to really count! I got my first digital camera, an impressive 2mp Olympus when the local KMart went out of business about 12 years ago, and used it extensively in my Real Estate business. I talked my husband into investing in my first DSLR when our 5th grandchild, a lightening fast little girl, was born 2 1/2 years ago. There is hardly a day that goes by that I don't photograph something! I guess you could say that I'm loving capturing as many memories as I can ~

Did you get a new camera Janice or still the SX30?


Yes I got a new camera, an olympus slr and that is what I used for these, but I still have the canon and use it when it wants to act right. It double clicks when I press the shutter, pauses for a full second between shots even when set to continuous shot and I don't remember what else. I sent it to canon and they said nothing is wrong with it, sent it back to me. I used it saturday and it was fine, Sunday it started acting up again so tomorrow it goes BACK to canon. They told me it could be the sd card but I have 5 and it does it with all of them so I am quite sure that isn't it. I have 3 batteries so am convinced that isn't it either. It doesn't do these things all the time though. It may be fine one day and the next day act like that all day or even be fine ad right in the middle it starts acting up. It is so frustrating! Are you still using your friends SLR? Do you plan to get one?

I am still using it and would love to get a new camera, I like it alot but don't have 600.00 for a new one. I am planning on putting any money I make for my little exhibit towards a new one. Tell Canon to keep theirs until they figure it out.
You are doing great with your new camera!

The photos you posted on cemetary day and a lot of days lately have been exceptional, which camera are you using and how long do you get to borrow your friends camera?

I have been using both. THe friend said take your time but I am thinking I better send it back soon before I get to loving it too much.

I know what you mean. Will your friend sell it to you?

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.

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 want to learn to ride (your horses are gorgeous, with the kindest faces!), but I was worried about being too old. I am 56. Did your sister ride @ 66?
quote=Santa Fe Rose quote=mgstrawn quote=Santa ... (show quote)


She rode my horses when we had our ranch in Livermore, but not to any great degree. She has been taking lessons at the ranch where we board since she got her horse.

I am 71, so you are not too old at all!! If you want to learn to ride, perhaps you could check the Internet and find a ranch in your area that offers lessons. Ask if you can go out and observe one (so you can see how the instructor teaches, and the lesson horse responds to the rider.)

If you lived near to us, I'd love to share the horses with you. If there is anything I can do to support you, please send me a pm and I'll send you my email address.

Good luck, mgstrawn.

No pics because I'm leaving soon but as a kid I remember tintype ( I believe that's it)of a distant grandmother and various photos of family which I thought was really nice because they were my family even though I never knew them.

Later on with a Brownie and an 8-shot BW film I remember in 1947 taking pics of brand new cars.

As time rolled on I learned that pictures of family were fun, but sad at the same time as today I see a family photo and 3/4 of them have passed away and I am now older than my grandfather was in that particular photo. It bothers me. Still interested in photography I began doing a lot of local shots such as the lighthouse, the stores etc and after leaving home the world opened up. All this to say I did landscape shots, no faces, no people and as I traveled this road I entered a zone of composition, which I love, refining and history. I am also a history buff so things like Gettysburg, cemeteries, old farms and barns and country photos draw me very close. I am a believer of the beauty is in the eye of the beholder thing, hence I search out beauty on a daily basis, especially since I have my digital and also on UHH ......It is your fault Sherrie! You are emptying my bank account and making gas stations richer. But I love it.....

Looking forward to your pictures. I passed the age my Dad passed on a coupe of years ago - it didn't bother me as much as it freed me to know my life, and my age, were my own. Happy camping!
