Britts Photos

Digital photography is one of my favorite ways to express myself. It’s fun, creative, and it allows me to hold on even longer to memories by stopping a moment in time leaving the empression as a photograph.

I use digital photography because it allows me to use my imagination more if I ever wanted to transform a certain picture into something from a fantasy book. Although I rarely do that because I like to keep my photos as authentic as possible. It’s still fun to tinker with my photos, even if I don’t save them that way.

Another reason why I use digital photography is because I want to share my work with the world. I’m a beginner photographer, so I’m not quite established in knowing everything there is to know about photography. Nowadays though, it’s pretty easy to share things with the world if you have a computer and internet access. So that’s what I do, I share my photographs and ideas on the World Wide Web, as you can see. However, if I used a film camera, I would have to scan my photograph to allow me to put it up on a website. Scanning also doesn’t turn out too well because the photo will usually turn out fuzzy or the colors may be different. Now I’m not arguing that digital photography is better than regular film photography, by all means I love them both and they each have different advantages depending on what you use them for. I personally need to use digital photography. I still use film cameras every once in a while, and someday soon I would love to buy a film SLR (film SLR’s are cheaper than digital SLR’s). For now, though, I like using digital.

I created a short slide show today of a few of my animal photos. It turned out rather well, although it’s kinda plain, but I still like it. That’s also something cool about digital photography, you can make a slideshow/video of the pictures. Like add music in the background or sound effects. It’s pretty sweet. Well, that’s about all I can blog about today because that’s all I’ve done with my photos today. So I shall end this on a short photography quote.

Have a blessed day, and don’t forget your camera wherever you go or whatever you’re doing this day!

One of my favorite ways to take photos of things is from below or tipping my camera to where it faces up a bit more…for me the photos seem to look more majestic and impressive that way. I especially love getting photos where it’s just the subject and the sky. Here, I’ll post some of my photos to show you a few examples of what I mean…

Notice how this photo really captures how huge the trees are! There really wasn’t any other way to take this picture, because I would have lost how awesome the trees are if I’d have taken it any other way.

This one is really cool. Just the building and the sky. It just seems to have add a nice effect and allows the eye to focus on the building rather than anything else that may have been distracting.

That’s just one of my ways to take more creative shots, rather than just a straight forward photo. Instead I try to find the best way to get underneath something or to get more sky, or just change my angle a bit. Here’s an example to show you the difference in a straight on shot, and a more creative angle…

This is the same statue in both pictures…but the second photo just gives a totally different impression for the viewer. It’s a bit more impressive, and gives the photo a cool effect.

Well, I hope you enjoyed them. Have a blessed day!
