Ok, so since I really couldn’t think of anything to blog about today…I just thought I’d look up some photography quotes. There’s lots of them out there, and some really good ones.
I like this quote a lot:
“To me, photography is an art of observation. It’s about finding something interesting in an ordinary place… I’ve found it has little to do with the things you see and everything to do with the way you see them.”
Elliot Erwitt
Personally, I agree with Mr. Erwitt. This quote also, to me, is saying that people see things differently. So to one person, a photo may look completely dumb and not make any sense, while to another it may be the most beautiful picture they have ever seen. I say this just kind of as a motivation for whoever reads this, because you should take pictures even if another person tells you they aren’t good…because it is just the way you see something…and it doesn’t matter what someone else may think or say about it, just take pictures. Photography is different to everyone, so just take pictures, because each person’s view is different, and what you can see, I may not be able to.
Have a blessed day!

Parks are really fun places to take pictures. I was at a park a few days ago and I did have a chance to take some photos of random things. Statues, geese, the landscape, trees, etc. I realize now that a park is one of my favorite places to take pictures, especially on a beautiful clear day.
This next photo is of a statue of children holding hands and skipping together. I don’t know why I chose to take the picture from this particular angle, but I think it turned out rather interesting and I like it.

There were tons of ducks and geese to take pictures of at this particular park. They had many canadian geese, so when I saw some of them starting to get out of the small pond, I took the opportunity to take this photo. The grass and water make for a nice background, and add even more beauty to the scene.

I took this next photo of a goose who was showing off to the people around her. She was dipping her head into the water and pulling it out while curling her neck. She did this many times, and as you may be able to tell from the picture, she had just pulled her head out of the water.

I actually am surprised at how well this next photo turned out. I was standing right below a tree and I had to zoom in with my camera to get this shot because the bloom was about a yard above my head, and it was also hard to find the bloom in the midst of all of the branches, but I eventually found it and took the picture. This was my first and only attempt, so I am quite pleased with how it turned out, although I would have liked to take a few more pictures to get an even better shot.

I hope you’ve enjoyed them. 
Have a blessed day!

Wow, once again I have allowed myself to forget about this photography blog. What can keep me motivated to take pictures? And to blog about them? Hmm…this is a perplexing thing that requires some thought. I think I have become discouraged because the digital camera that I had bought turned out to not be such a good one after all. I would like a digital SLR but that requires quite a bit of money and if I don’t even know how to use an SLR then that doesn’t solve much. I should do some research on different types of cameras and SLRs. So let this be a lesson to you, make sure the camera you are looking into buying, is the camera that will work for what you will need to use it for. Do quite a bit of research before buying into it. Well, that’s all for today…hopefully I will keep up on this…
