Absent of Color Photography

Black and White Photography

ecently, seeing life through the lens of my camera ha

Recently, seeing life through the lens of my camera has really changed the way I see the world. I have grown to love the rich, deep colors of the world and have started incorporating them into my regular life. Don't get me wrong, I am an artist so of course I love color, but colors have changed a lot for me recently or should I say I have changed the way I see color today? I hated to call this page "Absent of Color" because although black and white are not considered colors I have always considered them to be. Black and white photography has amazed me lately. Although I love my photography with the rich colors, I also really love the black and white shots. I love how the white seems to shine sometimes. I love how the black and white adds an age effect to the photos, yet a rich crispness also.

The Nikon D3100 camera does not have a mode to switch to take straight out black and white photos, but it does have a way to take one of your color photos and turn it black and white, I am sure many of you already know how to do this, but it is something I just learned so I will it with you in a minute. Also, another way to turn a colored picture black and white can be done in photoshop which I will also post in a minute. Read more at www.squidoo.com

The Beauty of a Rose

am almost ashame to admit this, but roses are not my favorite flower. However, I have found like many other kinds of flowers and things in Nature, I love to photography them. Recently, I got a Nikon D3100 camera and I am trying hard to learn how to use it. It is not like my Fuji S1000 which was just a regular digital camera point and shoot. The Nikon is a much more advanced camera and I will admit at first did not like using it. The first time I took the camera out shooting, I took close to a 100 picture and only a hand full came out. I was so disappointed that I was tempted to return the camera and stick to using my Fuji. BUT that challenger part of me said, "NO WAY are you giving up!" So I practiced shooting pictures and just yesterday felt it was time to start using my larger lens. Read more at www.squidoo.com

Macro Photography

In the beginning

Macros Photography

n the beginning when I first started getting interested in photography on a more serious level, I remember being drawn to doing close up pictures of flowers. If I had to label myself as specific kind of photographer it would be a Nature Photograph that specializes in Floral and Macro Photography.  But being an amateur, I would never consider myself a professional photographer until I had years of experience under my belt. How much have you thought about photography?  When you look at a photograph do you only see what is in the picture or do you see things that the ordinary observer would not?  When I look through the lens of my camera, it is like I am looking into another world.  That is why on my photography business cards my motto is: Beauty seen through the lens of a camera. When I look at flowers through the lens of my camera, I see “Life” in that flower. Read more at wizzley.com
