It has been a while since I used my camera to take pictures and I have to be honest, I did miss the feeling of doing photography using a camera lens. I cannot blame myself because mobile photography is really good nowadays given the power of our phones but still the way you take pictures manually and control the way you see them gives us a bit of extra power.
In the past I have taken a lot of landscape photos of nature and of beautiful places but lately I am growing fond of taking pictures of people and streets and the actions that are happening and it give me more room to challenge my timing and creativity.
I have so much more to learn about Street Photography mainly to take out my shyness to talk to people and I really hope to take a lot more portraits of actions but I know I can only do that if I learn to speak up of course for their concent. I am really grateful to be living in one of the most beautiful and vibrant cities in the world. It sure will help me improve in my photography even more.
I know what you mean about using a camera and lens. It can be inconvenient, but when I don't take mine I seem to miss it. And when I have it, it's just heavy to carry. But I love it too, and I'm also very shy about taking people I don't know photos. Hope you have a great start to the new week.

Good to see you back in blogging land. Glad to hear you doing good and having fun as you settle in your new location. I'm sure it's hot there now so stay hydrated. The weather here is raining and cool which beats the heat :) Take care and cick away.
ReplyDeleteSometimes, it takes awhile to get over the fact that people are what's considered "fair game" in that if they are out and about in a public space, then you can freely take photos. Glad you were able to do my blog friend and, again, happy to find your 2 new blogs!
