I would definitely choose action photos of friends and family. You can always go back to the cabin or to the lake and take retakes, but we loose our friends and relatives and the photos are never replaced. I especially like photos of children because again they change from week to week. Thank You and have a great day!!!

wubhappythumbup I agree, people are much more interesting and it records the history of our loved ones and others loved ones. I would want to photgraph people in all walks of life too. I think their trades and experiences are very interesting. I would just take so many pictures!

People are too complicated. Have you ever tried to get a family picture done? In every picture someone is looking the wrong way or making a face lol. I would rather photograph scenery. I love scenic views and sunsets. I would love to be able to photograph all outdoors stuff like that.

happythumbup That is the beauty of photgraphy, the beautiful scenery and also the many options. I do see your point. Appreciate the response. Have a great time mylotting!

I think that I would want to be like my grandfather and take picture at weddings. It would be nice to go to a lot of happy weddings and to make money from taking pictures there. People who got married could look at some of the pictures that I had taken of them and relive a lot of happy memories. Maybe in that way I could help to make this world a little better place, by way of mu pictures.


myLot reputation of 96/100. eaforeman6 (4205)   ranked 68 out of 3,143 in photography  10 months ago

happythumbupwub That would be incredible. What a happy time to take pictures. It would be saving special memories to be cherished and passed down through the years! That would be a wonderful line of work.

happythumbup That makes the best pictures. With that in mind, then you would be a wonderful photographer capturing more then just one picture or one single moment. I hope that you will get to take those pictures. Blessings and best wish's.

I would choose the ocean! I love the sea, the powerful force of the ocean as it crashes onto the land, or deep into the middle of nowhere where the sea is most turbulent. The beautiful blues and greens and the awesome power the ocean provides us with so much. I could sit and watch the ocean all day and I would love to photograph it. Even better would be to paint a beautiful picture of the ocean and have it framed in my home.


myLot reputation of 96/100. eaforeman6 (4205)   ranked 68 out of 3,143 in photography  10 months ago

happythumbupwub Photgraphy of the ocean is facinating. The pictures can be taken of sunrise over the water, and sunset cast across the sea, and capturinng the white caps. From the sandy beach to the farthest the eye can see, its beautiful. The ships and boats and so many things related to the sea, are interesting also. Thats a wonderful choice. What a nice picture that would be to see often.


myLot reputation of 99/100. wolfie34 (13909)   ranked 390 out of 3,143 in photography  10 months ago

I think I want to be a dolphin in my next life so I can explore the ocean and have fun in it! Or perhaps I just want to live by the ocean, I think we do take the sea for granted don't we! If I was a photographer or an artist I would send you one of my special paintings and sign it;0)


myLot reputation of 96/100. eaforeman6 (4205)   ranked 68 out of 3,143 in photography  10 months ago

wubhappythumbup That would be quite an honor. If I received a picture from you like that, it would hang where I would see it constantly and I would smile every time I looked at it. Just the way I smile whenever, I see your posts~ You are really loved around here....Big Hugs!

I do some photography....I have even gotten the opportunity to do a wedding and the pictures fortunately turned out very good! But I love taking pictures of nature....the natural beauty that surrounds us.

Children! Children are such a wonder, and a mystery. They are def. my favorite subject to photograph. They are not self conscience when you point the camera at them. They are wonderful posers. The only thing is you have to be quick! They can be very fast lol!


myLot reputation of 96/100. eaforeman6 (4205)   ranked 68 out of 3,143 in photography  10 months ago

lolthumbup Children are fast but they take some of the cutest, most adorable pictures. That would be a very happy feild. Most children do like their pictures taken and I know my grandchildren certainly do. They are big hams for the camera. That would be lovely photography!

I would specialize in urban exploration. I love to take pictures of old and abandoned buildings around the country. When I visit a new place I always look for abandoned buildings. I have taken pictures of a couple of different houses already, but some of them are better than others. My favourite house is abandoned house with huge holes in the roof, it looks terrible and the entire place is falling apart. I usually edit the pictures that I take, because I like pictures in black and white or sepia. I love sepia and I use it as often as possible.


myLot reputation of 96/100. eaforeman6 (4205)   ranked 68 out of 3,143 in photography  10 months ago

happythumbup Thats very interesting. You know it makes you think about their history, who lived there and especialy the really older ones. Can you explain what Sepia is and why it is your favorite? Do you ever do the research on their ages and what significance they had in the community?


myLot reputation of 98/100. Porcospino (2727)   ranked 535 out of 3,143 in photography  10 months ago

Sepia is a brown colour, it is the kind of colour that newspapers and pictures get when they are very old. I like to use sepia on pictures of abandoned builings because it seems natural or right. The houses are already very old, and sepia is the colour of old things. I like to create an atmosphere of sadness and decay and sepia helps me create that atmosphere. I sometimes use black and white pictures instead of sepia, but I never use colour, it just doesn't seem right.

I sometimes try to find out more about the history of the houses, I like to read about the owners and history behind the abandoned house. It makes me wonder who the owners were and why and when they left the house.

If I were a photographer, which I'm not, I would focus on nature. I would love to carry a camera with me on nature walks and create art with the lens.

happythumbupwub It would such a relaxing and gratifing field. What a pleasant way to spend your time. I wish we could do that evryday. It would be wonderful. Appreciate you sharing, and have a wonderful day!
