Photography is such a good hobby and a good way to ear money as well. I like taking pictures and I enjoy it. In fact, i am planning to study about photography. Do you like taking pictures? Do you take pictures of yourself or the animals and plants or other things? Do you still keep photo albums or just saved it your pc or memory cards? I still use and keep photo albums. It is one of my treasures!!

I've been fascinated by photography. I love doing it myself and I really am delighted when I see good results. I don't waste ink in printing them though unless I want them displayed on my wall. I do just save them in my usb while some are posted in one social site. I have so much photo albums already and it is like I've gotten tired of managing photo albums.

Photography has been my passion since my college days. As we were introduce to different ecology and habitat of different species in this world, I was able to take photos of the different creatures and nature spots. Those were the days when digital camera was not yet in, hence a photo album was packed with beautiful photo's of mother nature. I love taking pictures using a manual camera with adjustable lens. Photos taken with that camera is perfect.

Pictures is one of the best thing to keep memories alive that is why no people hate pictures and photography. It's also been a part of many arts industry, investigation and other things that pictures can help us. Photos, cameras and memory cards are the tools to create unforgettable experiences in what ever aspect in life. photo albums is a hard copy. no matter what happen to your memory cards. the hard copies will remain. memory cards only use for storage and to back up photos. But photo albums is the one you can browse photos without using electricity or battery powers. It is a treasure!

I do like taking pictures and just a few months ago, I was able to purchase a good camera. I am still a newbie on this and is still studying the in an out of taking good pictures. I hope that later on, my skill and knowledge will improve. I wish you best in your plan. True to what you say, there is money in photography. Though I do not have such plan in mind to make it big, but who knows? Well, as of now, I just save shots I have taken on my pc.

Hmm...interesting topic. Well, to be honest, if I have a DSLR, I would love to go out, to the airport and take pictures of my favourite aircrafts! Too bad all I have with me is a pathetic 5 megapixel handphone camera LOL! To me, photography is quite an advanced art by itself and I know that there are a lot of techniques to learn in photography but I just want to take a clear, nice and calm picture, neutral ones too. I have friends who love taking pictures and they are in a photography club where all of them have DSLRs and go out together and take nice pictures. So much so that, there is even a photography competition to see who takes the best pictures, the best perspectives taken so on an so forth. If I ever have a DSLR, I would create my own database of aircraft pictures. Perhaps photography may be my new hobby next time?

I've been fascinated with photography since I was a child. It became my way of life to keep pictures, old and new and take my digital camera with me every time. I really love photography. Every moments captured are all priceless. Looking back at our old pictures brings smile on my face.

I like to take photos and record films of anything. People, animals, nature and special events. It is like a creation of arts taking pictures. You can cut and paste edit and remodel it as you wish. It is fun and interesting with photos.

I just bought a camera a few months ago. I decided to start a hobby of taking photography. My friends always say that I am talented when it comes to taking pictures. The photos comes out extra beautiful. lol. Before I just take photos using my phone. Then I decided to buy for a larger megapixels. But, I was so busy nowadays, so my camera is just inside the cabinet.

I like to take photos with my digital camera. I took lots of photos on my outing to Plymouth last Saturday. I liked to take some of some sea gulls, the red and white lighthouse and the beautiful looking coastline. The time I take photos is when I am traveling to remember the places. I love to photograph palm fringed beaches, attractive looking architecture, beautiful landscapes and wildlife. I can't afford to print all my photos. I keep some on memory cards. I have my travel photos put in special looking photo albums. They have a white cover and then I put a postcard of the destination on the front cover. I use my laptop and printer to make a destination label for the spine of the album.

Taken through the mouth of My Dog  - This shot was to be of the tulips, until my dog stepped in front of the lens. Now it has a little more.... tongue
I take MANY MANY photographs.. I mainly take lots of photos of my pets and my garden and other flowers. I have mine saved to my PC, memory cards and other places like facebook etc. I use my "good" photos to make things with at Zazzle which earns me some extra cash, so I consider my camera a good investment. I don't have many photo albums anymore. BUT I would like to print out some of my really good shots and frame them or make a nice book for them someday. I have a Nikon - Coolpix camera.. I love it. I would love to take photography classes too someday to see what else I can learn. Most everything I do now is self taught. But I get lucky every now and then and get some really good shots. This one is my favorite recently.. as it makes me laugh. I did not realize that this is the shot I got until I got home and uploaded my pics from my camera. On This day I took my dog to a park that has awesome gardens. As I was going to take the shot of the Tulips my dog stepped in front of the lens.. I think if you look close you can see the shot was taken through his open mouth. LOL

I also do like to take pictures but I needed to save some money to upgrade our camera. It was just a simple 6mp of digital camera but we do have SLR at home (professional cam) but uses a film so it was quite expensive and I don't have the time to study it further since I am away from home. Anyway, what we want to save for is the digital SLR cam with high shutter speed good for outdoor and sports activities. It is indeed a good business of today and there are lots of professional photographers that offer lessons for beginners. About the shots, we do keep them in cds, in usb, some we do print and keep in album and some pictures are still saved on sites online.

Hi tess Like you I like to take photos. I take photos of random things that interest me. I hate to take pictures of myself though, I just don't feel it. Perhaps nature, animals and people are things I encounter everyday that I randomly encounter everyday because I love to go out. I just keep photos in my laptop as I don't keep photo albums.
