Photography Advice

Photography Advice
The first piece of advice I have to share about photography is the most important.

Live with your camera, I never go anywhere without my camera. I took this picture of a pond while I was on my way to pick up eggs from a local farmer I buy my eggs from. I had passed this pond a thousand times over eight years and one day I saw this. If I did not have my camera and tripod on this day the opportunity to capture this image may never have happened. I use this photo as the wallpaper on my laptop computer and share it with others that like it.

Beaver
I was fishing when this fellow climbed up on the riverbank and started to clean himself. Beaver are very timid and usually flee people, this fellow sat there and let me photograph him for fifteen minuets. I think he liked being photographed.

I'd like to add a piece of advice to yours :-) Keep your camera with you and _USE IT!_. Take pictures!! The more you take, the more likely you'll get the one you're looking for. Take pictures of _everything_! You never know what's going to come out just right.

Oh, this is the same advice you're giving isn't it :-) :-) :-)

Digital cameras are great. You can see what you've taken immediately, and you don't have to pay for film, processing, and printing.. Shoot 'till your fingers fall off.

My minivan has a 150 watt inverter. I run a laptop to see what I have full screen size. (There's a black and white film camera around most times too. Film develops in the kitchen sink, and you can print in most bathrooms :-)

Something fishy here :-)

I keep my camera handy most of the time, but sometimes I use my cell phone camera that is good for a quick shot.
