I really love to travel and when I do I take a great deal of photos. I like to photograph the scenery and interesting buildings. I adore taking photos of tropical beaches with golden sand and waving palm trees. I really enjoy taking photos of wildlife, although sometimes this can be quite challenging. A herd of Zebras and giraffes grazing in the African bush but dolphins splash around in the sea quickly and are difficult to capture with my camera. In the days of using film I bought them 10 or 12 at a time and used them up very quickly. I really think the digital photography means I take better photos and means I have far less to carry around.

Right now I'm taking way too many pictures of my year-old grandaughter. She's just so cute I can't help it. I have traveled to Europe and I didn't have a digital camera, then. I wished I had. I've spent years of my life not taking any pictures at all, and I wish I had. I do have some great photos of places I've been, however, like in South Mexico, and England, and Spain, and Amsterdam, and so on. What's great about my digital camera I have now is that I can take videos with it. Like to see dolphins splashing around, to be able to take a video of that for a few minutes would be so great.

I prefer relaxing scenes or scenes with brilliant colors (sunsets, flowers, birds) and I also like animals. Takes a lot of patience to shoot animals and get good shots. :)

Taking pictures of my two six month year old puppies is just the best thing possible to photograph. I can never predict what kind of shot I'll be taking. Just today I had eaten some soup out of a cup. My smaller dog, Sherlock, stuck his head in the cup when I looked away. I turned around, saw him, and called his name. He immediately looked up, with a small, round noodle right between the eyes. I really wish I had had a camera right then!

Your puppies sound adorable. I remember bringing home my dog Magic and she and Secret my older dog would sit at different ends of the sofa. I found it challenging to get them in the same shot. Yes, sometimes opportunities present themselves without you having your camera ready.

I love to take pictures of people, I love to capture thier emotions and feelings, but then at times I love to take pictures of small details too,like in a party,I would not forget to take pictures of the table centerpiece and even the smallest pice of decoration.
How I wish I could have new digital camera soon,one that I can always carry with me.

I love taking photos of my kids. I have thousands of pictures of my children around my house and take tons more at least once a week. I guess I just want to make sure that I capture as much of my time with them as I can. They only stay little for so long and before you know it their grown and you find yourself forgetting those little memories that don't seem so important until their gone.

My son would love those pictures of animals especially sea animals.
I take a lot of pictures of my son mostly and took quite a few in Samoa of the sun rising and setting when I would go for my evening or morning walks. I have lost them all though as the disk got ruined. When we travel I take pictures of the scenery, historical sites and my son having fun fun fun.

I am not really into photography myself. I'm not good at it. But I do like to take pictures of my boyfriend because I think it's funny how mad he gets with me following him around with my camera.

Yeah, what is up with guys and hating having there picture taken? It's really weird. My boyfriend is the same was as yours. My brother acts like he hates his picture taken, but later on he always come to me to look at them.

Animals, my friends and rooms.
Animals never do the expected, and will often look interesting, cute or funny. My friends are mostly for memories and fun, same for rooms (my best friends recently moved, and I like to change things around).

I like taking pictures of my friends and I whenever we go out on an adventure. Most of the time the picture are of us getting drunk and just having a good time with just us ladies. Sounds interesting to take pictures when you travel too like you have been doing. Yeah thank goodness for the invention of the digital camera, so we can delete the pictures we have duplicates of or delete the pictures we don't like. Plus you save a lot of money not having to buy roles of film and paying to get the photos developed.

I go through fads with taking photos. Many years ago I used to be a School of The Air teacher. When I travelled in the outback, I would take photos of some of the magnificant scenery there. The outback is very unusual, & I still have some photos of the desert or Flinders Ranges around the house.
I always prefered scenery photos.
I was never particularly good at taking photos of people.
A few months ago I tried top take a photo of the Full moon, but I guess my camera wasn't good enough to get it close up.
Nowadays, most of our photos are taken by my husband or my daughter.

The most I like to take photos is scenery. I will take scenery that is wonderful and it can take my breadth away in the moment. I also love taking flowers, beaches, great architectural building, and other "weird" objects (LOL).

I love to take pictures of little kids----not in a creepy way of course! But just because I babysit a lot of kids and I scrapbook, so it is fun to have pictures to scrapbook!

My dog, my boyfriend, beautiful places... I love to take photos of beautiful things. I love to take pictures of animals, they are so sweet and cute and some of them so friendly. I like to take pictures of the ones I love, to keep a memory of them although they are always on my mind.
I don't travel a lot so I don't really have the opportunity to take pictures of different places but if I did I would be taking pictures all the time.

I know how much you like traveling. You've been to so many countries and you even live in some countries for years. That's so amazing. You have a fabulous life.
In the past when I traveled, I also took some sightseeing photos. Now my favorite is to take photos for my son. I hope to record every part of his growth and he can see that one day when he is older. It must be something exciting for him. He is lucky to have a mom like me:)
