Moments: Life Captured

With the acquisition of my camera, I have taken up photography as a hobby. I am by no means an expert but I love to capture moments in pictures. I wish that I were better at the candids because it always seems like I am this close to catching the perfect moment. Sometimes, I get lucky. My dad tells me that in order to catch the right moment, you have to be taking pictures like a madman. Keep snapping away and don’t wait for the moment to present itself. Sometimes it shows up later. I’m working on that. Below are samples of photos that I have taken as a observer of a moment. Either something was happening that needed to be photographed or the light on the subject just made it scream out “take my picture.” I love natural light and the contrast that shadows give to a picture. The picture may not always be in focus but the true life color is undeniable.

Disney World 2009

With over 700 pictures to choose from, these are some of the best. I am sure that I have missed some and as I find them, I will add them to the gallery. In the meantime, this is our trip in pictures!

What a Beautiful World

I just bought a polarizer filter for my camera. It took some trial and error to get the thing to work the way I wanted but I am still not satisfied with the results. I am not sure if it’s the filter itself or if I am just not using it to its full potential. I guess practice makes perfect and that is what I am intending to do. The scenic gallery will evolve over time. It will feature the wonders of our great planet – mostly those found in the good ol’ US of A because I probably won’t get out of the country much.
