I Am a Photographer

I think this is so true. When you look through the lens you see things so different, that you connect with your subject. A dull space becomes interesting, a forgotten land conjures, and a persons soul brings out their beauty.

Just need to move the walls of selfies....

@GlamGirl thanks ....I find myself looking at things and going at the angle....I should carry my camera more!

Glad you share the passion :)

I was just thinking yesterday about how sad it is that we let our cell phones become our cameras. It’s not the same feeling you get when composing a shot behind a long lens. @Shutterbug

@GlamGirl I know. It's the filters that kill it. you can take a well composed shot with a phone. :)

GlamGirl · F

You certainly can, but I love the feel of a real camera in my hand too. @Shutterbug

@GlamGirl ...I still have my first 35mm SLR, got it early 80s. So simple that you concentrated on what you were doing

GlamGirl · F

I still have my SLR and DSLR. I keep saying I am going to get them out and shoot again. @Shutterbug

@GlamGirl what do you like to shoot?

GlamGirl · F

Portraits and landscapes, really whatever I frame as interesting in my mind. I am constantly composing shots. @Shutterbug

@GlamGirl cool. :) nothing like walking down the street and going 'now from this angle that door could be interesting'

GlamGirl · F

So true. I am always the slowpoke lagging behind taking photos.@Shutterbug

@GlamGirl oh yeah, I get the hurry up......but I haven't shot it from this angle
