I would choose the ocean! I love the sea, the powerful force of the ocean as it crashes onto the land, or deep into the middle of nowhere where the sea is most turbulent. The beautiful blues and greens and the awesome power the ocean provides us with so much. I could sit and watch the ocean all day and I would love to photograph it. Even better would be to paint a beautiful picture of the ocean and have it framed in my home.

I think I want to be a dolphin in my next life so I can explore the ocean and have fun in it! Or perhaps I just want to live by the ocean, I think we do take the sea for granted don't we! If I was a photographer or an artist I would send you one of my special paintings and sign it ;0)

for me, scenic views and nature would be what i would be taking too i think since i like to look at breathtaking views. i want to share what i felt when i saw these pictures with others. maybe if there are some people there as well, it'll be better as i would like a natural feel with a gorgeous scenic background. that would be great but it's a pity that i only see great views in my dream. i never have a chance to experience all these so i can only dream.

yes dreams really are important. they give us something or well for me anyway to look forward to. i hope that doors will open for me too as you said though right now, that opportunity looks a little bleak. i wish i could draw all those beautiful scenes that i saw in my dream to paper but unfortunately, my art is so bad even i myself don't know what my picture becomes in the end. but thanks lots for your wishes and good day.

Hi eaforeman dear! I would love to take black and white pictures. I would love the drama of black and white in photography. I would love to take photos of people and capture different emotions written on their faces. I would really love to be a photographer if I will have the chance.

Take care and blessings to you dear!

hi eaforeman6...if i had to choose one subject it would be scenery.
l tend to love peaceful nature scenes. and that would include sunsets, birds, squirrels and wildlife. creatures are fascinating as long as it's not the "raw" footage hehe.

thank you. i have been taking pictures with my camera phone. there's a limit with the cell camera but it's so handy. once i took a picture of an very unusually shaped cloud. it became my favorite cloud and if i'd only known my cell was going to fry i would have sent the picture to my email so save it. it's gone forever. i loved that cloud picture. grace and peace to you.

I would specialize in urban exploration. I love to take pictures of old and abandoned buildings around the country. When I visit a new place I always look for abandoned buildings. I have taken pictures of a couple of different houses already, but some of them are better than others. My favourite house is abandoned house with huge holes in the roof, it looks terrible and the entire place is falling apart. I usually edit the pictures that I take, because I like pictures in black and white or sepia. I love sepia and I use it as often as possible.

Sepia is a brown colour, it is the kind of colour that newspapers and pictures get when they are very old. I like to use sepia on pictures of abandoned builings because it seems natural or right. The houses are already very old, and sepia is the colour of old things. I like to create an atmosphere of sadness and decay and sepia helps me create that atmosphere. I sometimes use black and white pictures instead of sepia, but I never use colour, it just doesn't seem right.
I sometimes try to find out more about the history of the houses, I like to read about the owners and history behind the abandoned house. It makes me wonder who the owners were and why and when they left the house.

I would be into nature pictures, or more specifically into pictures of flowers. They are amazingly beautiful, and much more co operative than people.

Photographing people is definitely the best way to make with your photos! My dad is an accountant and he does the taxes for several portrait and wedding photographers... they all make 6 figure incomes! Photographing people is definitely where the money is at!
Unfortunately for me, I don't like taking pictures of people all that much! I like candid shots of people, but I hate posing people!
My favorite subject to photograph is animals. I do some wildlife, but I mostly enjoy photographing domestic animals. I volunteer with animal rescues and shelters, so I take a lot of photos of the animals up for adoption! The photos are used to help find homes for the animals. And I use the photos to raise awareness for rescue and adoption. And I also take a lot of photos of my own pets! So to answer your question, I would want to get into pet photography. It combines two of my favorite things: pets and photography!

If I were to be a photographer, I would love to take pictures of weddings. I think that these would be wonderful occasions and would really be beneficial. Just think about it, you would get to preserve the happy couple and bring them many memories as they look at their pictures in the future. I think that weddings are also a great venue to take pictures because there are so many wonderful shots available. If I could not take pictures of weddings, I would take pictures of babies. Again, this comes down to preserving the memories for the parents.

Children! Children are such a wonder, and a mystery. They are def. my favorite subject to photograph. They are not self conscience when you point the camera at them. They are wonderful posers. The only thing is you have to be quick! They can be very fast lol!

I think that I would want to be like my grandfather and take picture at weddings. It would be nice to go to a lot of happy weddings and to make money from taking pictures there. People who got married could look at some of the pictures that I had taken of them and relive a lot of happy memories. Maybe in that way I could help to make this world a little better place, by way of mu pictures.

People are too complicated. Have you ever tried to get a family picture done? In every picture someone is looking the wrong way or making a face lol. I would rather photograph scenery. I love scenic views and sunsets. I would love to be able to photograph all outdoors stuff like that.

I would definitely choose action photos of friends and family. You can always go back to the cabin or to the lake and take retakes, but we loose our friends and relatives and the photos are never replaced. I especially like photos of children because again they change from week to week. Thank You and have a great day!!!
