Seeing the world…

…one click at a time.

There is nothing better than experiencing life first hand, but I also enjoy viewing the world through the scope of a camera. Sometimes when viewing the world, we can get lost in the big picture, but when looking through the scope of a camera, you are viewing the world one small amount at a time. This can be a nice, simple change from the large, broad one we normally have.

What new things might we discover as we slowly move the camera around? Perhaps, we will see the dew that is on the grass or that small ant carrying food to the rest of them.

When the world just is too big for me to handle, I love taking pics of things that seem ordinary like a simple tree or bush and discovering that when looking at the picture I find that it is not ordinary at all.

P.S. Do you enjoy seeing the world on a smaller scale from time to time?

Capturing life

I remember when I first fell in love with taking pictures.

I was about of a 4H club, and we were expected to participate in certain events some of which we could choose from. I decided to choose being a part of a photography contest, because it seemed simple enough. I started taking pictures of my horses and our backyard and eventually I started liking looking at the world in a smaller scope. It was icy on the cake when I won in the photography contest.

It was the first time I started thinking I might actually be a bit creative. Fast forward quite a few years and I still love it. I find that I love taking pics of nature, but I have recently started liking my pics of people too. I also am starting to expand upon it even more by messing around with them, and I’m thinking about learning Photoshop which my husband is quite good at as well. All of the pics i have attached to this blog are pics I have taken at one point or another. You can also find other pics of mine at my Instagram page: https://instagram.com/lwiseindisguise/.

It amazes me how one starts down the path with a hobby and might not even realize how much they will love it.

P.S. What started you down the path toward your hobby/hobbies?
