I love my husband to death-but I don't speak when I'm with him so I stop, look, and get into thinking about how I need...yes need to shoot something. That's why I prefer to shoot alone and oh I wish there were more local women's groups that take shooting trips together. Yes, this could have been me writing this.

For me, it is more exciting and fun to be surprised at a sight, landmark, interesting people, colors, or old car to be photographed, than plan a photo outing. I love the last picture of you and hubby...enjoying the moment.Beverlyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01097377480944079836noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6346935990049787898.post-84759310943865697462014-07-21T15:35:34.239-04:002014-07-21T15:35:34.239-04:00First of all, we have almost re-worked our family ...First of all, we have almost re-worked our family budget to include an iphone for me - and so I will join you in the ease of photography on the go. In the meantime, I think we do a little of both. I always take my camera with me wherever we go, and my husband has been very patient with my need to stop and take pictures. My favorite pictures are the ones you describe, the everyday scenes along the side of the road. Love that truck picture!!

My iphone is a life saver when I don't feel well enough to hold my big camera and is great for spontaneous shots. I too have decided that landscape photography is not my favourite unless there is a strong focal point. Grunge pieces of industrial history, anything that can be focused on and enhanced. It's those little moments that have to be documented I'm so with you Sarah.Viv@Thoughts from the Desktophttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06730298140439036198noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6346935990049787898.post-66945994026952866032014-07-21T06:24:07.168-04:002014-07-21T06:24:07.168-04:00It's all a learning process and finding your s...It's all a learning process and finding your style. I good for you, finding yours! And you did get some great shots! I don't travel specifically to photograph, so I guess I photograph where I am. But - I don't usually carry my dslr when I am doing something active (cycling, hiking, kayaking, skiing) my point and shoot or iPhone get those tasks. Also, sometimes I find that there are things I just want to enjoy without worrying about catching it with my camera. I love landscapes, but have a lot to learn to improve my photography.Karen Lakishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14493883087361055962noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6346935990049787898.post-19826446002835537242014-07-21T01:46:43.783-04:002014-07-21T01:46:43.783-04:00Mostly, I travel to places that excite me and find...Mostly, I travel to places that excite me and find lots to photograph there.
