What Type of Photography Do You Prefer?  email this discussion to a friend?

myLot reputation of 26/100. adampdesign (103) 2 years ago

With so many types of photography out there, which do you prefer? More specifically, do you prefer to take personal portraits, pictures of nature, landscapes, architecture, etc. It's hard for me to say which is my favorite, but I think nature and landscape are up at the top of my list. I love being able to capture something so beautiful at a standstill. When you look back at it, it is like everything else just stops and you can observe one moment of beauty without any motion. It's a great way to stop and think about how precious our world and environment are, and how important it is to protect them.

I'm an avid enthusiast of photography and I take a lot of photos. But with only my Nikon L14 camera by my side, I'm a bit constrained to just taking snapshots of any scene that presents itself. Since I cannot control the depth of field or zoom in to an interesting subject, I just take ordinary photographs that I can use in my blogs.

Once I finally buy a Nikon DSLR camera, that will be the time when photographs will acquire distinctive characteristics. Light, color and texture will be different. Perspective and emotion will be different.

lol. I guess i'm a big amateur. I've been getting by mainly with my lame camera phone on my Motorola Razr. Thats friggin awesome that you can do all that stuff. I hope i can get a much better tool to take pics with.

I've seen photos taken using a mobile phone and they can be really good even at low resolutions of 3 megapixels. I know this because when I was in Japan, my companion was just using a Sony Ericsson camera phone to take snapshots of a shrine and some ducks in a pond. When we finally shared our photos, his shots were even better than mine.

Hmm. I dunno. My taste in art is much like my taste in music. If I don't like it, then I won't pay attention to it. I really do like those Affliction shirts though. They have killer artstyle that i'm trying to get into in my Photoshop. I love to look at nature and surreal pics. Optical illusions are awesome too-- Oskar Reutersvard (spelling?) is one of my faves. They make you think or put you in some imaginary world where whatever you want happens. Black/white pics (like your guitar at the moment) interest me too. Sometimes I like to take pics of myself and put them in black/white (or contrast them anyway) kinda like those Godfather posters lmao. Pics that standstill are static and dynamic at the same time. Like pics of the rolling sea... its not moving, but its so powerful you feel like you are there...

Personaly I love photography. I love all types but love nature and self potraits the most. I love capturing the aspects of nature and animals. Although, we all have our own personal preferences. I look through my friends on Facebook and you can see what kind of photography they like.

I prefer anything. Really don't have any much preferences because I am still exploring all kind of opportunities. Although it's been 2 years since I got my first DSLR, I am just too shy and nervous about taking pictures alone (and thus I always have to wait for my friend to be "available") and also, I am afraid of being confront by people if I take their pictures. Thus, most of my pictures are just of the nature or events. It's hardly anything professional or good but I am still working on my skills with my Nikon D40.

I do love photography,I love taking pictures of nature , It's like every time I capture a scene I felt like I am preserving it, it is one way so that one day I can show to other that there's still a place you can call nature,a place were you can see green fields, trees, and animals and when the time come, that everything in this world is made out of metals, there will be a proof that there is a time a place call nature did exist in our world,

Hi adamdesign!

I'm nothing close to any amateur photographer. Photography is just a hobby to me. And I normally use a digital camera because it's easier to transfer these photos into my blog, send them as emails or post them here in myLot.

I love candid shots actually. I love to shoot as they are, not posed or choreographed. Sometimes it's difficult to get one good shot especially where movement is involved. You have anticipate what your subject is going to do next.

I love to photograph the environment. I love to photograph human emotions, happiness and joy, surprise and so on, human achievements. Above all I love to shoot the beauty of the human spirit just like the one I'm attaching here. Nothing is too heavy, there is no such thing as tiredness in her vocabulary for this great lady who goes around selling foodstuff as a living.

I prefer the photography of nature. I love nature too much. I try my best to preserve it also. The sky, rivers, landscape, birds fly in the sky, etc are my favorite scenes.The mountains covered with snow, and the valley with the indigo sky, woh! i just spellbound with it and I see the photographs I just collect it to my albums. I have 20 big albums, containing only the photographs of nature.

If I am taking pictures, I think I prefer nature and landscapes. For some reason I have a really hard time taking good pictures of people. However, I enjoy looking at all types of photography. It's definitely a subject that interests me greatly and I would like to learn morea about it.
