Photography has been an interest of mine since I was a teenager. It's one of the rare memories I have of my childhood. I distinctly remember walking around my hometown of Stanhope, Newfoundland, Canada with a camera taking pictures of birds, butterflies and mushrooms growing in the grass. I'm lucky enough to still have some of those first photos and I thought I would share them with you. Hold your breath cause these are gonna take your breath away! :)
This first one is a picture of some trees. I think. Maybe I was going for an artistic look with this one. ;)
And... I'm pretty sure this is the one of the butterfly. Yip. See it? Right there on top of those flowers. Pretty isn't it?!
And one of my first family portraits... Must have used a flash with this one. See that bright spot behind my Dad's head? :)
It's a blast from the past to take a look at these, my first photos. I've learned a lot since then about focus, composition and lighting. Heck, 4 years ago I didn't know how to turn on my D-SLR!
No matter, I experience the same pure enjoyment 30 years later every time I turn on my camera and create something beautiful. It's one of my passions. It gets my blood flowing and my creative juices going every single time! What takes you to your happy place?
Cheers! Tina B.
