Sweet, that one stood out to me on your journal, love those seedling shots. I like capturing the cup rim, did a similar thing, helps frame the seedling. Nice one bud

 

[Agemon]

That screen shot is cool! When I shot events and people were doing phone pics, I'd frame up the shot like your last one there. Cool ideas are no coincidence with our Art Form!

 

[SweetSue]

Nice bit of learning here guys. One of these years I’ll graduate to a camera and all this will be invaluable to me.

Seedling shots are a challenge with the iPhone.

I looked back at that one and realized I make the effort to bring in a sense of scale into the seedling shots. With solo cups I’m always trying to create interest with the edge of the red cup.

Chasing down the shot is great fun.

Chasing down the shot is great fun.

100%. It’s what gets me motivated. Once I see an angle or shot in my mind, I will spend hours to get it.

I had an idea in my mind for a full year. Our local “Welcome to...” sign outside of town. I wanted vehicle lights at night trailing to the sign. Took me a very long time, 20 second shutter opening, and used 4 or 5 shots layered over each other to get it. But the result was awesome. I would share but it gives away my location lol.

In many areas of life less is more. 100 pictures to find one GREAT shot.

When I first started, I used lots of websites that taught it for free, and would have little challenges. My coworker was also a graduate of a two year photography program and he told me about some of his challenges. Like taking 30 photos in a bathroom. No two can be of the same thing.

It set me up to have that curiosity. That we all share. That is the beautiful thing. Our curiosities lead us to incredible discoveries. I am inspired daily by the imagination and curiosity of others and what they shoot.

A picture with light as the subject. I always liked that challenge.

Ooo... I like the sound of that challenge.

Every time I stop here I leave feeling more confident about my ability as a photographer. Once you guys really get to teaching me - more fairly phrased, once I get around to really soaking up your wisdom I’ll just keep improving.

Thats the thing Sue. It's always been with you. Adjusting your perception (through the camera) is all it took. You have a wonderful eye and have created many great images you can look back on and be happy with.

Why thank you UA. I love what I do. Four years ago I had no idea any of this was waiting to be expressed.

 

[Agemon]

Ive always held the opinion the camera is not as important as the shooter. Ansel didnt have half the shit we do...

 

[Cola Monster]

Morning all!
Well I was out working with some raindrops today trying to find a good reflection that you could see in the background and this is what I came up with after shooting countless photos. Enjoy!

Very nice! I know how hard it is to capture something like that, well done

If any of you might be interested in posting these amazing photos to our Instagram daily, please send me a pm to discuss further.

Nice CM! Reminds me - I took some back in spring aiming to capture similar things. A couple were ok - I’ll dig them out to share.
