Nature Photography Collection

Hello friends!

In an effort to encourage myself to walk more, spend time outside, and try to disconnect from technology, I have decided to invest a bit in nature photography.

Pictures on my phone have been okay, but I saw a nice beginner digital camera for a great sale and decided to try it out (I’ll do my best to note which pics come from which tech).

I’ll post all my photos from natural parks across the midwest here in case it brings others joy! I’ll also always accept tips on photography, cameras, etc!

The blooms of spring from my phone:

Then my first digital camera pictures (decent quality considering the deal I got on this bad boy, still figuring out how to zoom without losing focus)

Makes me want to take a walk outside. Also kinda helps me feel like I did, at least in my mind. :heart:

Well I really feel guilty now! I have a Canon EOS that I have had for years that I have never used! I even have a book for dummies too that is collecting dust!

Kudos to you Clair for taking up such a worthwhile hobby! And great pictures btw!

Agreed completely. There is beauty in the sere, the bare, the grey and brown. It’s a different story of loveliness, but it is no less there.

Well when I have spare time I try to put Bible Study first and then after that other things but since my days are so short I truly have not had the extra time.

Exactly! Plus it makes the moss and mushrooms pop so vibrantly!

I have the same camera that was well used and dunked into more than a few lakes and streams with me. It took fantastic shots. I miss going out and taking pictures of literally everything.

I can find some of my stuff from deviantart I guess the old birding, herping, and nature photos to put in here later maybe.
