This is a blog where I'll share my photos as I learn to take them. You get to see my progress through the lens of my camera

Flowing, Falling Water


This is another picture taken with this effect that I really like. This time I also include a picture of the same place, but without the effect.
Which one do you prefer?

Road to Nature


Here's another picture. This was taken quite recently. I used a "miniature" effect on my camera. I think all it does is focus only a horizontal line, which in this case is the cornfield.

Sunset Tree


A picture of the sunset, with a tree in the foreground. I like it and think it turned out quite beautiful. Did a little editing to make the colours a bit nicer.
What do you think?

Sunrise with a surprise


So I was out early morning/late night taking pictures of the sunrise. This was a couple of days after I had got my camera, I think. Suddenly I hear a noise behind me, so I turn and see this:
Squirrels are quite rare to see where I come from (this was the first time I had seen one there), so I became quite excited and tried to get some good pictures of it. That was hard since it kept moving and running away from me, but I did manage to get a couple.

Practice


This photo is quite self-explanatory. I play guitar, so that is why I used this motive. The closest guitar pick has been used a lot, while the other has barely been used.

A Sea Of Lights


This picture was taken after a while of trying to hold my camera still while taking a picture of all the lights in the middle of the night. I was not very successful, so I gave up and did this instead. I like this more than the ones where I was trying to hold it still.
I know I've posted many pictures with the same concept now, so I'll post something different soon.

Abstract Streetlights


Here is another one where I use slow shutter speed and movement, this time with streetlights. This picture was actually taken before the last one.  I really like how this turned out, with the colours and shapes.

Leaves Like Golden Rain


I'll add one more photo today, since it's the first day of this blog, but in the future I think I'll post 2-4 photos a week.
I saw a tree with a streetlight shining through it and I thought it looked nice. I used a slow shutter speed and moved the camera a bit to create the effect that you see.

Flowers, Blowing In The Wind


I'll just start this blog with a picture from the day I got my camera. I had taken some good (in my opinion) photos before that with my cell phone camera. I might post some of those too, but mostly it will be from my new camera. (That's a Sony Cyber-shot DSC-WX150, if you were wondering)
