I will admit that one of the hardest things about pursuing photography recreationally (even despite being a teenage ballerina) is that I am often at a loss for photo ops. It's a bit difficult to pack bags and travel cross-country to prime photo locations when you are tied up with everything that comes with being a student. Regardless of my inability to photograph the Great Barrier Reef one weekend and the Norwegian fjords another, I still do my best to take some pictures.
A couple times this past week, my dad and I have gone out walking around our neighborhood with me toting my Sony Cyber-shot HX10V of course in the case that we encounter a rare species of songbird. Well, I never came cross a rare species of songbird, but I DID manage to take some nice macros of the remaining spring flowers. It ended up being a lot of fun (as you can tell, my dad enjoyed taking some... unconventional flower pictures) and I actually got some cool pictures out of it.
The experience has been a reminder that beauty isn't only found in exotic places. It can be saved in a shot with just a bit of imagination anywhere you go even if there aren't gorgeous views of sweeping landscapes within a mile of your house.
Also--a note on starting this blog. I had a stroke of inspiration today as I sat in my room listening to the loveliest thunder storm. Like it says in my "About me" section, I really just want to keep track of my good experiences and share them with anyone who bothers to read. I hope that I have something to offer to you through my thoughts and photos (writing is another hobby of mine so this incorporates most all of my passions into one project. Yay!) and if not, I hope this blog wasn't a COMPLETE waste of your time. Sorry if it was.
Until my next post ~B
