Do You Enjoy Taking Photos

I have always loved to take photos. I am not really good at it but I enjoy it. I often take my dog on walks and pack my camera. I get some great shots of nature that way. I wish I could afford a good camera but my Canon Powershot does pretty good. I enjoy taking photos of just about everything from people to nature shots. Do you enjoy taking photos? What kind of camera do you have?

I loe taking pictures too. I have a Kodak Easy Share digital camera. Its a good one, I am happy with it. I bought it last year before I went to Cal., I took hundreds of pictures. I have all the memories on a cd, I can look at them whenever I want. I also have a 35 mm camera that was nice. I haven't used that since I got my new camera. Now I only have to print the pictures that I want to. It saves so much money. Before I would have been selctive on which pictures to take, not anymore. I can tke hundreds of pictures now.

I signed up on Gather but never have the time to explore on the site. I have been so busy with life. I still have things to learn about my camera. There is never enough hours in the day to do all the stuff. I do have a copy of a pic that I need to scan and post. Last year on Sept 11, I was at the Reagans Library. Its in Simi Valley, it was so interesting. They have his Air Force One Jet, you can get on it. You can't take pictures inside. But the have someone taking pictures just before you board the plane, you can wave just the the President and the First lady do. They have the date stamped on the pic. I took lots of pictures inside too. The have his office exactly like it was, some of the furniture is the same too. I will have to find the time and get busy and put some of the pics on my computer so I can share them.

Yes I enjoy taking photos of nature and other scenic places... I only have a camera phone though. But, I'll definitely bring a good camera with me when I go on vacation in other countries or provinces.

The resolution of my phone is not so good though. I transfer my files to the computer via bluetooth.

I have always loved taking photos. I love being able to record things as they happen. I enjoy taking videos too, very much. I have a webcam in my new computer, a Sony Handicam cam corder, a camera in my cellphone, and old 35 mm camera Mom gave me years ago, and a Cannon Powershots A5 (really old digital camera) that I bought from a friend of mine. do you think I have enough cameras?

the river - entry in the black and white division
I love taking photos, there isn't to many times you'll see me without my camera in tow. I would like nothing better than to be able to have a job in that field. I did enter 3 of my photos in the contest at the fair here in PA. The judging was Friday, but I don't know how I did yet, as I have not been able to make it back up to the fair, it's about an 80 mile trip. So I probably won't know until I go pick them up next Sunday. Here is one of the entries.

Hi.... Nice to meet you here. i love to take pictures. I am using olympus digital camera. I seldom use it cause i didnt bring it along with me. I always forget to charge it and left it at home. I usually use my cellphone to take pictures. I feel very enjoy using it although it is not as clear as my camera. I am thinking of to get a dslr so that i can adjust all the angle manually. I think it will be very fun using it. Most important is i can take a better quality of pictures using it. Happy Myloting!! Have a great day!!!

I purchased my husband a Nikon camera for his birthday and it is really much nicer than mine. I have a cell phone with a camera but have never taken a photo with it. I carry my camera everywhere I go. LOL

I always take my camera with me when I am going on long journeys. It is amazing the amount of photos I take home with me. If I see a rainbow or a nice cloud formation, I like to take a photo of them. Of course, my hubby is driving the car while I am snapping. That way I can also take photos of the dangerous drivers who overtake on the continuous white lines or the others who are swerving from one side of the road to the other. I use a Canon IXUS 75 and it is 7.1 mega pixels.

I love taking photos, too! I have always really loved it since I was little. I just have a pretty basic digital camera. It works pretty well, but sometimes the pictures aren't quite the quality that I'd like them to be. It's a little touchy I guess. I would really like to be able to get a more expensive, really nice camera, but I will probably have to make do with what I have for awhile. I am going to the Grand Canyon soon though, so I'd really like to upgrade before then, cause I definitely don't want to miss out on all those shots!

I love taking photos..Its one of my obsession.Where ever i go,there is a camera with me..its just a camera phone with 3.2 megapixels.Hope i could use a high standard of camera when i have the money.I love to take pictures of anything that capture my eyes.Something simple that will turn out to be nice.Though its just a phone camera,its still helpful to me.I do own an olympus digital camera,but i rarely had it with me when im out.So,phone camera is just enough. Once i have a try to feel real photography with a high standard canon DSLR,if im not wrong.That Camera cost over $2000.Since im a multimedia technology student in school,i did my projects with that kind of camera. A Pictures worth a thousand words.That one of the reason i loves taking photos.

I also love to take photos, of my kids and of nature, I love to get shots in which something stands out, and really eyecatching things. Like you I am not very good at it and my camera leaves a lot to be desired but until I can afford to upgrade I am stuck with it. Mine is just a 5mp digital camera.

I love taking photos especially when I am out on walks. I have a good Sony Cybershot, can't remember what type it is exactly. It is adequate for what I do anyway!

I love taking pictures of myself with friends, family and relatives. Whenever there's an occasion or get together or just a mere unexpected aquintances. My digicam was Canon IXUS 65 that has customize shot with maximum of 10 that my friends really enjoy because we can have different posses. I love also to take nature shots, whenever we went out of town I took pictures of the beautiful scenery. I love taking stolen shots because it shows the true personality of that person. I want also to buy a camera that simple photographer uses... to enhace further the pictures I will take.

I love taking pictures as well. Whenever I have my camera on me I take pictures of everything. I've never taken classes or anything but it's fun to do. I also like taking pictures of nature. I don't have a professional camera. I have a Nikon Coolpix but it takes decent pictures and since I won't be using it professionally I'm pretty satisfied with the quality. The only issue that I have with my camera is that I wanted to take pictures of the moon one night because I liked how it looked and it didn't come out good. It just came out looking like a blurry light. Daytime pictures come out really well though.
