My two favorite things my kids and amateur photography

I have always had a great love of beautiful photographs and with the advent of digital cameras I have embarked on the lifelong task of learning to take them for myself. Digital cameras make it so much easier to get the right shot and saves me the expense of all developing all those not quite right pictures. I love taking pictures of my family and also of the beautiful scenes nature provides all around us so I was able to combine my two favorite things. I know everyone's view of the world and beauty is different and I want to share mine with the anyone who views it. My photographic skills are still evolving as I learn more and more about the different elements of photography and the functions of my camera. It will be an interesting journey. Photographs are meant for sharing not sitting on a computer or in a box. They can only be appreciated if the are viewed.
Thanks so much for looking and let me know what you think.

Great photos of my kids and grandchildren - just my opinion

family photos

In this section I am going to share my greatest love. My kids. Children are naturals for the camera as they have not developed all the inhibitions that come with adulthood. My kids love to mug for the camera every chance they get and I am so proud of all of them that I decided to share. I have 3 children and 2 grandchildren so it gives me lots of opportunities to practice with my camera.

Pictures of the great outdoors

nature photos

I also love to photograph the world around me whether it is the beauty of the mountains. The power of the ocean or just the wildlife in my own backyard. Occasionally I even manage to get pictures of my family interacting with nature and that makes the pictures even better to me. It combines both of the things I love to photograph. Nothing can be more fun than watching you children as they discover all the world has to offer.

    Starting to look really good! I love the woodpecker picture. This is a very hard type to photograph. In our area they are very shy and prefer the deep deep woods. Great pictures!
