                      with  camera  ready!

   is  that  it's  visual  and can  transcend  language."

Quote by , Lisa Kristine

 

A cold windy cloudy January 2022 afternoon on a swamp road into 

the Seven Runs/ Dead River camp site in Walton County Florida.

Most of the shots I took came out blurry  from the wind.

 

Experimentation helps learning.

Driving to my "food on the table" job early one morning

I liked the lights , picked up the camera , 

tried to aim,

and shot. 

Maybe next time go earlier stop and use a tripod? 

 

Not much of a photograph , snapshot or art,

But , something to practice on.

If you are associated with a group in your neighborhood

you may have plenty of photographic opportunities .

 

I am trying to get back into the "Photographic State of Mind", so I spent a couple hours in our local small rural town, DeFuniak Springs  in Walton County Florida ,that  can have some interesting photographic opportunities.

Sometimes construction dumpsters can cause adaptation and overcome obstacles in your vision of a "good" photograph?

Sometimes street photography in a small town can be a test on how your skills are holding up?

This   Week's   Photographer's   Quote

"One  of  my  passions  is  photography.

I always carry  a  camera  in  my  bag

             when ever I travel.

I always  take  pictures  wherever  I  go.

       and  some of  them  end  up

        being  really  crazy  ones."

Quote by ,  Sunidhi Chauhan

Maybe Beginnings Abstract Art ?

                Florida humidity may make the start of some beginnings
                     of abstract art photography?

              It  is  creative art."

This  Week"s   Photographer"s   Quote

"It  takes a  lot  of imagination  to  be  a  good  photographer.
       you  need  less imagination  to  be a painter
        because  you  can  invent  things.

But  in  photography  everything  is  so  ordinary;

it  takes  a  lot  of  looking  before  you  learn to
     see  the  extraordinary."
