I’ve always loved looking at pictures and taking pictures. I have NO formal training in photography but that’s never stopped me from snapping away. I’ve always had some type of point and shoot which I think gave me some decent shots. I wanted to start taking different types of pictures and trying out different effects, so this year I upgraded and bought Max.
I’ve been taking some pics with Max around my hood and I’m thinking about maybe taking some type of a class, but I haven’t committed to anything. I’m still playing around with the different modes and trying to see how much I can pick up on my own. I’m having a lot of fun! My 9-5( who works those hours?) is very left brain oriented, so it’s been great to have an outlet for my creative side. I consider this blog an exercise for my right brain as well, so I’ve decided to share some of the photos I’ve taken here.
In the first pic below I was pretty far away testing out my 55-300mm lens when all of a sudden I saw this couple in a very passionate embrace in my view finder. I reduced the zoom before taking the shot to preserve their modesty. Man, now I know how the paparazzi get the scoop on these celebrities. No worries though yours truly will be sticking to landscape and scenery shots. Basically nothing that would get me sued, arrested or kicked in the face.
