Do you have something you like taking pictures of? Do you take your camera everywhere with you just incase? I do as you never know when a good picture will happen.

I genuinely do like taking pictures and I always take my camera with me when we go somewhere. The only problem is that I"m also genuinely bad at it! I love photography but I have accepted that I am just not a photographer. I am never able to capture an image with a camera the way I see it. Oh well, at least I can enjoy other peoples' talent!

I take loads of photos and bin most of them. Isn't digital photography wonderful letting you do that? I always carry my camera somewhere new and quite often have one in the car. As I don't have a camera phone, or any other mobile phone, I have to use a real camera.

I agree I think it is so much easier now we can select the pictures and throw them before having to print them off and then deciding they are rubbish.

Children playing in the snow - This was taken with my Canon G9 and I used photoshop to adjust the levels due to the light reflecting from the snow. I also resized it make uploading easier.
I take a camera with me any time I leave the house. You never know when you will find something interesting. I love taking shots of sunsets and sunrises so you have to be ready when it happens. You do not have time to run home to grab your camera. I am including a photo I took of two children playing in the snow. It was used in the paper, with parental permission, to show what children were doing on their Christmas break. You just never know what you will see when you are out driving or walking around. I use my Canon G9 as my carry around camera, but also have a Canon A530 and a Kodak easy share C813 that I can carry instead of my Canon Rebel DSLR.

That is very true and I think non posed pictures are some of the best, thanks for sharing.

I think the minute we have kids then we tend to take thousands of them which is great for when they grow up.

I keep a small point and shoot camera in my purse at all times. Just in case I see something worth taking a picture of! For example, yesterday I got my haircut and on my drive home I saw two adult deer with a baby fawn by the side of the road. So I stopped my car, pulled out my camera and started shooting away! I wish I had my DSLR with me, but it's big and bulky and isn't very easy to carry around everywhere I go! Plus, I'd worry about it getting stolen! But any camera at all is better than no camera! I would have been kicking myself if I'd seen those deer and didn't have any camera on me at all!

I always carry my digital camera with me everywhere. I love photography and you never know when you'll see something awesome or when you'll have the perfect opportunity for an amazing photo.

I really love to take pictures! It's something that I've enjoyed doing for quite a long time. I often try to have my camera in my back pack, so that whenever I see something that I find nice, I can just take out my camera and take a picture of it. Over the years, I've found that my pictures keep getting better and better. Well, I would expect them to get better, to some extent. Photography is one of the few ways for me to really express myself. I have a hard time being able to express myself, when I talk to someone. It's not easy for me. So, that's kind of why I turn to art, and photography to help me express what I feel.
