Photography and exploration

Photo by Kelly Frank

Photography is great fun and any subject can be used to practice and learn about adjusting shutter speeds and all the things you can do with your digital camera. Don't be afraid to try anything because you can delete it if you don't like it. That's the great thing about the digital world of camera's. This photo was one of my first attempts using a still 4 by 4 camera while in photography class. This actual shot took several attempts to get just the right negative but learning is exciting and the more you learn about simple adjustments the more useful the camera becomes. Have fun and enjoy as a hobby. You never know when the perfect moment will appear so keep your camera near.

Using Picnic software to manipulate this photo adds some variety to the photograph. These are just free manipulations but you can purchase Premium to have additional options. Just think about how digital cameras have changed the computer world in a short time. What is the next technology that will transform the future of blogging and the internet? Just think there is some youth or adult with the next fascinating invention that will change the world as we know it today. If you noticed I said any age of person could transform the on-line technology. We have only had personal computers since 1985 and there is a generation that currently never has known a world without computers and digital cameras. Where there come a day that when you say DVD that a child will not know what you are talking about. The speed that life is changed by technology is ancient in the blink of an eye. Don't blink or you will miss it!

Sun fading allowing this day to end peacefully

These photos display a peaceful letting go of the day allowing the night to take over without a fight. This reminds me that we should relax and enjoy what is now the past because tomorrow will come. This peaceful surrender shows no chaos or anger to the day and the night will give you time to re-new your energy for tomorrow. Problems of the day melt away into the night and putting your cares and worries into the hands of the one that created everything you will sleep well. This photo is called "Changing Skies" as it says to have faith as tomorrow will come.

The world, moon and Kansas

The moon viewed from where I stood in eastern Kansas which the camera was able to capture my perspective but not the color. The Western Hemisphere viewed the exact same moon from a different perspective according to where they stood at that exact moment. Millions of people shared the same view of the this moon yet there picture would reflect a whole new perspective. By experimenting with photography at night I aim to capture the vivid colors actually I see. Sometimes photos capture odd things not seen by the human eye. Challenge yourself to capture the true artistic colors of God's palette!

Green photography

 These are photographs of plants and flowers from my garden. I take my little Samsung camera wherever I go. You never know when a Kodak moment will appear. Digital Camera's are a great tool for an artist. This also is a video camera which I am experimenting with now. I will be sharing a video of me creating a unique work of art using the video camera to capture the whole experience. Beauty in the eye of the beholder and I hope that you enjoy my work. I want to develop a new group or forum of creative people that have a desire to exchange ideas, create and share. Please let me know if you are interested in helping me start this group. Leave a comment please.

Here are some top of the line camera's to the less expensive ones. At Amazon.com you may be able to find used ones for less. Do not let money hinder you from being creative as it is all worth it in the end.
