MY Photo Passion Reconizing Your Eye # 4

1. I found it hard to just select my inspiration file... do I chose by clairity of picture, Subject, on & on. However I did get several picked.
2. Themes- Well I already knew I was very drawn to water elements and nature in general no matter where I am.
2 b,c,d -As for Light & composition & elements of design, Well I am sure I fall short on all of those, but that is why I am taking these types of courses to learn more about it. Up until now I have taken pictures for the pure love of what I see. The more untouched it is the better.
2 e- AS for color I am big on BLING in my pictures... absolutly LOVE Colors. My daughter now 27, still crenghes when she thinks of the some of the colors I dressed her up in the 80's.
2 f-  I love being known as someone that is always happy and not afraid to be herself... that includes my wild colors too. Pictures, Decorating.
3. I know that I want to capture as much Nature as I can, even as a child I have feared growth and destruction on so many nature places and so afraid they would n't be there for my kids and grandkidos.

Pictures,
1- sunrise is right out my front door in Rockport Tx,
2- Azelias in someones yard in Fulton Tx,
3- Blanco State Park in Blanco Tx,
4 & 5 - were in Colorado last year.
6 Is for the pride that I have for all the freedoms we have here in America.

My Photo Passion -Familar Subject Photo Shoot # 3

Yeahee me, I was concerned - what was I going to take  50 pictures of... but I listened to my intitution and asked hubby to take me to the park behind the airport in Fulton Tx. I wasn't even set up when this Bird flew by and as if to say... here I am.  The Bird is that Little white dot way in the back before the marsh grass.
1. It wasn't any supprise to find myself going to the water for my subject.
2. As I took the 50 pictures I did try differnt settings, zoomed, sport setting, bright sun/beach pictures etc. Most people would rather take pictures by them selves... well I am the opposite I feel calmer and safe to concentrate on my picture taking when I know my wonderful hubby is near by. He always has my back.
3. The Bird in Flight & catching the Fish were my 2 prize pictures that I am so proud of. Pure Joy at being able to catch these moments.
4. I currently don't have any editing software and have never tried to edit them.
5. Excited would would be understatement.
6. I enjoyed listening to my intitution for my intention. Don't think I would change a thing. Can't really explain how much additional confidence this exersise gave me.
Thank you Kat and everyone else for the vote of confidence.

my photo Passion Inspiration Lesson # 2

We were suppose to resist Photo journaling about this lesson.. But I couldn't. I did enjoy this process which confirmed that I must be a fish out of water so to speak... I don't typically take people pictures...it all about nature for me, at least up to this point. I became acutely aware that I strive to get a water element in as many of them as I can, Sky & clouds over water, ponds, trees, lakes even birds. I have always needed to be near a water element for as far back as I can remember. My 1st trip to New Mexico, I felt lost until I finally came accross a stream up in Redriver. this Gal needs her H20, alted or unsalted, frozen or running.
