Enjoying Photography
My husband spoilt me with a a brand new Digital SLR Camera for Christmas. It’s a Nikon D90 and takes lots of photos in quick succession (up to 100 which it buffers then saves to the memory card) so it now means I can take action shots without having to wait for my camera to catch up with me and be ready. I found that most frustrating when out at Mountain Bike Races with my husband.
Anyway, I have a photo blog so I won’t post many photos here, but thought I’d share a small number with you, to give you some idea of what I’ve been doing. If you click on the image below you’ll see an album of shots I have loaded at Facebook. This picture is of Shadow, one of our cats. Amazing what you find in the garden, isn’t it?
I’m thinking I might print some of these and frame them or see if I can put them on items such as mugs, cards, posters and such and sell them. What do you think?
Photography is something I’ve always enjoyed and I used to belong to a club many years ago – before I started my business. I’m hoping to pick it up again soon. As our children fly the coop and Graham and I become ‘empty nesters’ I find I want to spend more time outside and in the country. And my new camera will become my constant companion – after all I have to show hubby just how much I appreciate his gift to me, don’t I? 
Awesome Kathy, what a wonderful and thoughtful present.
I have also a love of photography and found someone in my life currently who is a experienced photographer and has a keen interest. You should definitely checkout redbubble http://www.redbubble.com.au, you can sell your works on there or browse the other photos for inspiration.
Looking forward to seeing more
I love photography too. Wish I had more time to explore it. Years ago when I had more time on my hands a friend gave me a photography book. That led to a class, and for a while I was snapping away. I have albums and albums of family photos. And before the fire I had dedicated a wall to pictures I had taken of my children and framed. Haven’t done much in quite a while.
Years ago I found that using a camera gave me a different view of the world, it forced me to focus on what was within the frame as a piece of art and gave me a closer look at things I might otherwise have overlooked.
It’s amazing how looking at things through a camera lens suddenly gives even the most common things an artistic value!
Certainly you should put these on products – people especially love cats!
Thanks everyone for your comments. PopArtDiva I know what you mean. I have some great cat photos that are just begging to have captions added to them. You’ve given me some food for thought…

I am not a photographer but I really love taking pictures because I find it fun and exciting especially when I take a nice one.I want to capture every happy memories I had. Now I am learning about better camera technique so that I could always take the best shot.. =) good camera quality, knowledge and skills are one of the important factors in creating quality images.
