I don't know, how much do you like photography?
Wren wrote: "I don't know, how much do you like photography?"I don't know an exact number. All I know is that I have easily taken over 10,000 photos (took about 4,000 photos during a road trip in 2019) since I started 6 years ago at the age of 12....sooo......a lot?
Ok, well, I have taken more then 800 photos in the last 3 months so, yes I love photography!!
Wren wrote: "Ok, well, I have taken more then 800 photos in the last 3 months so, yes I love photography!!"You've taken more than I have recently. Been in a bit of a photo block. I intend to take more soon though =) Is there anything in particular that you like to photograph? I will photograph anything and everything (which I have done lol XD) but I prefer taking photos of people, animals, fireworks, and landscapes.
I like taking photos of pretty much anything. I got a micro lens for my birthday a couple of years ago so I have been taking a lot of butterfly/mushroom/flower/bird photos.
Neat! I don't use that kind of camera (the kind where you can switch lenses). I use my mother's cameras because I don't own one that is my own yet. One is a FujiFilm Finepix XP90 (which was bought for its underwater photo capabilities) and the other is a Samsung WB1100F. My personal favorite is the Samsung (it's the same camera I'm holding in my PFP), but I like the other one as well. I sometimes use my dad's phone as well, though his model constantly changes. If you don't mind me asking, what kind of camera do you use?
No! it is totally ok, and it's a Nikon D7000, the camera is actorly my dad's but I always use it!!
Wren wrote: "No! it is totally ok, and it's a Nikon D7000, the camera is actorly my dad's but I always use it!!"Ooh, sweet! I've never used a Nikon. I hear they're good cameras. The closest camera I've ever used was a Canon, but it was a long time ago as that was the camera my mother used when I was growing up. It was a light blue Canon PowerShot SD1200 IS Digital Camera. Never used it for my photography though because it broke before I got into photography. Is it a good camera?
This is a blog post I wrote in April last year that is basically a gallery of the best photos I took in 2016 if anyone is interested:https://musingsofanarthriticartist.bl...

Yes! it's a really good camera.

I want to buy myself my own camera later, but I can't afford it at the moment. I only have 200 dollars and in order to buy something like a Canon or DSLR, they're about 450-600 dollars at the cheapest. That's if I want one that looks like the Samsung I use and not the Fujifilm. I want something that looks more like a pro camera, similar to what I use now. But I actually need money for that lol XD I'm not just going to ask my parents for a camera right now either, especially since both ones that I use work perfectly fine right now.

Nice! I really like the sunflower one. I have a couple of my photos on my profile if you want to see them. and I do my editing on Lightroom.

same, I really want my one camera one day, but for now my dad's is more than fine.

🥰 Thanks! Nice, I'll be sure to check them out! I do my editing with my built in editer on my computer. I have an HP, so I think it's just Microsoft Photos. Or maybe Windows Photos. It's one of those editers. It works pretty well I think. I haven't shared many of my photos on my Goodreads, but I'll comment some here soon. I have to go to bed right now, so I can't at this moment, but I'll definitely share more =)

Same =) My mother's will work for me for now though.
I actually have time to share a few:This is a photo I took in February of last year. I then edited it soon after (the black and white filter + the extreme vignette are the edits).
This is a photo I took in October 2018, just before Halloween.
I took this one about a month before. The black thing is my left hand, while the ring thing is a magnifying glass.
I took this one that same year (2018) but in May
Who else loves ornaments? This photo is edited. I took this in 2016.
This one was taken exactly a month later than the one above.
Oh, I really like them!! really artsy!!
Here are some of mine⬇︎

Wren wrote: "Here are some of mine⬇︎"I like the dewy/water droplet ones. I also like the bokeh in the first one. I think the first one is my favorite. The vibrancy of the butterfly wing is gorgeous as well. Really nice macro shots 😁
These are the best photos I took last night. The camera I use has a light trace option. This option is typically used with a tripod, but that's kind of impossible to pull off inside a moving vehicle, so I tend to move the camera around to create little designs, though I never know how the photo is going to come out. I have 25 photos here, and they are separated into groups of 5 inside the spoiler tags. I'm having a hard time picking a favorite because I like them all 🤣 (though my favorite batches are 1-3) In case you are confused about what these are, last night my family and I went to go see Christmas lights in a local neighborhood that lights up every year. These are some of those houses when I use my technique.(view spoiler)
