 I have taken pictures for all of my adult life starting with a Canon
A1 back in the early 1980's. We then traded that for a Canon EOS
650, which my wife still used until I purchased a Canon 590 IS for
her last Christmas. I have taken pictures off and on all this time,
but generally just left the camera on Auto Mode.
Then about 3 years ago, through a series of events, my oldest
daughter ended up with two new Canon S3 cameras. She gave me one of
them as a gift and that is when I really started taking pictures.
Thanks to digital photography, I soon found that I could take many
photos, start learning what worked and what did not work, and not
have to pay for the film or to have it developed. I have since
upgraded to a Sony a700 DSLR and several Sony lenses. This is what
has really got me going in photography.
I love being able to go out with my camera and try my best to
produce photos of all the beauty that our Heavenly Father has placed
in this world for our enjoyment. I have been to a few places that I
have wanted to go to for many years, and may never be able to go to
again, but I have photographs to remind me of the good times there.
I really enjoy all types of photography, but I truly enjoy landscape
and macro photography. Sunrise and sunset are often some of the most
beautiful times of the day. I feel that this is the time that the
Master Painter does some of His best work. We call them “love
letters” in our home. I enjoy trying to capture them.
With macro photography, you can see things that are just not visible
with the human eye, and it is pretty awesome. It opens up a whole
new world that many miss.
I have never taken any classes in photography, but I would like to.
I know that there is still much to learn and I am trying all the
time to learn as much as I can.
Photography has been very rewarding
to me and I hope that I will be able to enjoy it and share it for
many years to come. I would encourage anyone to pick up a camera and
see what you can do with it. You very well just might surprise
yourself!

years.
