Photography is one of my best interests or shall we say hobby!

I find that taking pictures is not easy and you need some practice and skill, and I have worked hard on this and even pursued a course in photography!
Although i have not taken it up as a career, I take photos in my spare time and also use the aid of Photoshop software to make pictures look unique from the rest! Its really good to see the photos afterwards and it does make you feel proud of your work!

Photography can be done by anyone, you need practice and a little bit of professional help, and you too can be a good photographer!

I also like to capture various moments of life in a camera but i don't want to be a professional photographer. I have a sony digicam and every time i move out with my friends, i make sure that i don't miss to carry it along.

I'm saving so I could buy a DSLR. I'm aiming for the Nikon D60. It's an inexpensive entry-level DSLR camera. I think in a month I'll be able to buy one. And I am so excited!

Photography is one of my hobbies. I used to spend a lot of
time and money a few years back. Have taken some cool
pictures.

I am still old school. I prefer film cameras to digital ones.

I also have a collection of old antique cameras. Some
of them are world war 2 era cameras that I recently
took pictures with. The results are better than current DSLRs ;-)

I love photography as well! I'm not at all "professional" or anything but I take a lot of pictures and sometimes they turn out really nice! I actually take photos for the paranormal team that I'm on as well and have been able to capture some pretty unusual things with my camera that haven't been explained. I garden too and love taking flower shots!

Here is one I took in the woods of a well known recording studio that we investigated. At the time this was taken we could hear a woman crying and we did not see this with our naked eyes at the time of it being shot. I have also sent this one to a well known paranormal investigator who is basically a professional with the technology and he couldn't explain it either.

Ive recently got inspired of taking photographs, and also take along my camera with me wherever I and try to get different shots every time. I have the basic camera, a Canon Powershot 7 megapixal, and I practice taking different types of photographs with that, and the quality is improving day by day, so practice does help.
Once I feel im good enough and can take god quality photographs i think i will go for the professional type cameras.

No, it wasn't cold that night. Yes, it's a digital and I took lots of shots but that is the only one that showed that particular mist. I also have one that shows a brown mist in some trees, but this one was really colorful so I thought it was more interesting. I have had this one looked at, as I said, by a professional paranormal photographer with an excellent reputation!

As a hobby you have taken photography if much interested you can undergo a good training under a camera man and joined the film studios.

Hobbies do not fetch mucg uncome.but mastering the hobby you can earn mare and more by full time work espeacially in film studios.

Well, if I'm not mistaken, photography is one of the difficult and expensive hobbies, right? I had a professor before and he likes taking photos and his equipment were not quite the usual one. How much do you think it would cost to go for training in photography? I would love to study the techniques on how to capture things professionally.

For me, photography is really one of the most expensive but most exciting hobby. My best friend enrolled in a photography class and she enjoys everything. She loves to take picture of her family. She wanted to become a professional but that requires time, right? Now that she had her family, they are the ones most important to her.

I love taking pictures as well. I try to remember and take my camera with me everywhere. I don't have any professional photography equipment; however, a good quality digital camera takes me quite far I find and that is what I use. I have taken a load of pictures during my trip across Canada and I just love looking at them every once in a while. My main interest is the landscape, so I usually take pictures of the sky, trees, the water but I also love taking pictures of my two girls!

The Nikon D60 was the camera that my wife and I decided to buy when we decided to pursue our interest in photography. We got it from a private camera dealer who explained the features, and is always willing to answer any questions. This is not a cheap camera, but is great for a higher level amateur photographer. We love the camera, and the hobby. The best advice we received was take lots of shots, and look at taking pictures from different positions. We are still learning and loving the hobby, and the camera.

With all my interest in photography I would never have thought about taking paranormal pictures. I do have another 'different' photography interest. I am fascinated by, and find a certain peace in cemetaries. I love to see the artwork on some of the headstones. Some of these tell alot about the person that they represent. I have an interest in documenting and photographing the most interesting, but am not sure on the ramifications of doing so. Is it legal? Is it moral? I would like to know if any one else has thought of this or does it. I wonder if any paranormal photos would come of this?

As well as keeping diaries from as far back as I can remember, I've always LOVED taking pics. Now that I have a digital camera, I like to take videos also. My you tube is FULL of videos. I think pics and videos are awesome because they truly capture a moment that will never happen again

Haha. Just shows that I really don't have a life. I think I've made like 200 posts in the last two days.. something like that. I'm just bored because I don't have a job and it's too hot outside to wanna go walking around. We don't have a car.. I don't have my license anyway. Just never got around doing it I guess. Always found a reason not to lol

So, I'm curious.. what brought you to a women's forum?

There is this other forum called www.indiabroadband.net
I am an active member there. This forum was started as a
companion forum by the Harpreet who is the wife of the admin
of that forum, so one day a bunch of us from IBF ended up here
and I started contributing and having fun here ;-)
