I took up photography after my 17 year old daughter took a photography class in school. Her photos were so amazing and intriguing, I thought I would give it a try. I never knew anything about macro, aperture, ISO, etc, and I must confess Im still learning aperture and ISO. Once I realized what I could do with a camera, I ditched my little sanyo point and shoot and bought a more advanced compact Fujifilm Finepix s700. I know its not the best, but while I'm still learning, and still creating, and capturing, it works just fine, till I can afford a DSLR. I thoroughly enjoy capturing nature as I am a nature lover. I love capturing nature's astounding beauty and wonder and being able to capture it in ways others may not see it in everyday life. Comments and Critique are welcome as I travel through this journey of photography.
