May 25, 2012 - Vacation Trips Past...

... and how I found my love for travel photography.

Everyone goes through moments where they relive moments in their lives, for me this happens often. I relive moments through the photos I take, and not surprisingly, I take a lot of them. I'll admit, it's not as impressive as wedding photogs with over a thousand pictures in one evening, but then again I'm not being paid thousands of dollars to capture the moment. I can understand the pressure though. 

Ever since my first digital point-and-shoot, I've loved the way I felt when I got the perfect shot, whether that be of a person, or an object. So it only made sense when I made the switch to my first DSLR, and began the triple shots of the same subject with differing background compositions, and lighting. I never edited my images, and was strongly opposed to post-editing them, mostly because I didn't own programs to do it, so I learned to be good without it. I even ventured for several years operating without a flash mount, using only what the camera offered... the bare basics, and often preferred natural lighting, this, too, was because I didn't own a flash mount, so I got good at this, too. Indoor/ outdoor evening shots in dim lighting still prove difficult, but I've since invested in a flash.

So, what?!


Anyway, I've been looking at some of my albums and realized I really have an eye for detail. Given that I'm under no pressure to get any one picture, I must say, I did a pretty decent job. 

Here's a look:
