If you are like me ~ you love to have your camera ready and just find that perfect photo ~ ~ and it could come at any moment. I have been known to pull off the road in a moments notice just because the sun was reflecting off the trees or off the top of the car and it had that certain sunburst that needed to be recorded for all time!

Clouds on a half-cloudy day are part of those collections of mine as well.

If you also enjoy photography ~ more than just taking the family outing shots ~ or that birthday shot of little Alfred eating his cake (nice, but not what I mean here)...because we have all done those family shots.

I mean ~ those shots where you are out and it just happened ~ no set up ~ hardly any time before the sun disappeared ~ or that bird in flight over the lake ~ or the deer ready to pounce and run back into the woods.

Those are the shots I mean.

This is not going to be about my entertaining you with photo's I have taken. This is going to be a give and take.

You talk ~ you add to this ~ you offer suggestions ~ you ask for help ~ you plant your perfect pictures here as well.

So, having said this ~ I hope you will take the time to join in ~ to discuss ~ and to be as analytical as you wish to be.

Have you entered contests? Ever thought about it? Ever wanted to but didn't? Why or why not?

Think about those questions...give it some thought. Come on board. This might be a new experience for you ~ join anyway!! Have fun....but come on aboard!!
