…because Photography is my Creativity

Hello Everyone!

I’ve decided to create a “Favorite Flickr Photo of the Day”.  The idea is that I will view and search through photos on Flickr, photos taken by people from all walks of life and all different levels of photography – then choose one as my personal favorite and post it to this blog each day.

I’m not sure if it’s against the rules of blogging to share other people’s photography – so the following is just a disclaimer.

Since the “Favorite Flickr Photo of the Day” is not exclusively my own photography, please contact me (via email or comment) to inform me of any infringement of any particular rights or privileges. If I do not reference the photo resource properly, or if I do not give credit where credit is due, please contact me and I will promptly delete or change anything that is needed.

I’m just wanting to share with the internet world some incredible photos taken by all different types of photographers, because we’re all unique and no one should be denied the title of “photographer” even if their camera isn’t professional or their skill level isn’t deemed worthy by society rules.

Anyway, if you’d like to submit any photos for me to potentially share on this blog – email the link or photograph to me at brittsphotos(at)yahoo.com.  Who knows, I may pick yours as my favorite for the day.

Here’s today’s Favorite Flickr Photo of the Day:

This photo was taken by Fede (gardawind) and uploaded to Flickr.com, titled “Double green vortex”. This was such a unique and detailed shot, and it was quite refreshing to see after browsing through so many photos. The brilliance of the color and abstract composition just make it a really awesome photo, so I definitely had to share it as my favorite photo of the day. Click here to view the photo on the original flickr website and gardawind photostream.

I hope you enjoyed the photo, please comment.

Blessings,
Britt <><

Have you ever thought to yourself that you aren’t creative? Or even said it out loud maybe?

I have done both. I’ve always thought of myself as uncreative. Thought that I’m not the type of person who is artistic, can draw or paint beautiful landscapes, create music, or write novels, etc.

Something changed my perspective this past week however, and it was in something someone said – “Since you are created by a Creator [God], then you are creative”. In other words, since we were created in the image of the Creator, then it obvious that we too have it within us to be creative and create.

I thought this person had a very valid point.

Photography, is also art. It is a form of creativity. You don’t have to be a professional photographer to be creative, it just happens. Some people may be able to compose a photograph better than others, some may capture light better than others, some may photograph landscapes, while others may photograph people. Either way, you are using your creativity in some form or fashion.

Though you always take pictures of something God has created (whether it is a landscape, a person, or some objects created by a person created by God), you’re creating a composition and in some way creating a photograph.

Pretty cool thought, huh?

I think so.

So don’t ever think you are not creative. Photography is my creativity.

Hello everyone!

This is a great video I found that has a few tips from Professional Photography Nigel Barker. These are photography tips that everyone can use. In the video, Nigel Barker gives tips on how to take great outdoor group photos.

So whether you’re on vacation, at your child’s little league game, visiting the beach, etc., these tips will be helpful. I figured some photography tips from a professional photographer we all have either seen or heard of would have some great merit.

The video isn’t long, so definitely check it out.
