Do you love photography?

I am a travel and photography enthusiast. At the age of 23, I started working for a multinational company and since then, I have been touring around many countries. The more I traveled, the more I realized that the world outside is worth capturing. I bought my first camera and started capturing priceless moments around the world. Photography helps me to bring home stories few have to tell. It helps me write about the reality of each country and project the unique beauty of each place I have been to. I am currently using a NIKON D7000 - a very nice camera. Do you love photography? If yes, why are you in love with photography? Which camera do you use?

I can not say that i love photography . But if i come across any beautiful place or anything which i feel nice immediately i will take a snap from my smartphone . We have 3 cameras at home, hotshot , canon and SLR camera . We take SLR whereever we go especially during pilgrimage, picnics, and any functions and take lot of pictures

I love photography. I tend to focus on nature and I love doing macro photography. Some of my favorite subjects are reptiles and spiders. I use a Canon 5D Mark II. Here is a little guy I photographed a couple of nights ago.

That's a really nice shot Jared. Canon 5D is a nice camera too. You should have an account on Flickr or create a photography page on Facebook where you can share your work.

Summer flowers
I have a Canon T2i or in the UK it called 550D. I just feel at home out there taking photos of nature, flowers, trees, birds, insects and so on. I can't really explain it but I guess you know what I mean with loving photography too. It feels I come alive.

That is so nice that at 23 you were able to travel because of your job. You are so lucky ! How i wish i can also travel . I think travelling comes hand in hand with photography . With the new scenery you will be seeing , you need a nice camera to capture them .

This is what my boss always told me. He used to say: "Life is too beautiful and is worth capturing; not only with the eyes and soul but also with a camera"

@excellence7 With the camera , it's not only you who can see those beautiful scenes you have captured , but the other people too. And these beautiful scenes should always be shared . So, can you attach one of those pictures here ?

I think you can't fully learn photography only by reading references. You'll have to go out and practice. Take a lot of pictures. Learn the basic photography tips online. We have a lot of materials online these days. Learn about ISO, aperture priority, shutter speed, 1/3 rule of photography and light. Take as many pictures as you can, and improve everyday. Don't focus on editing right now. First, learn photography itself.

I love photography. though I don't have camera and most of the images being taken by me are from the mobile and friends DSLR camera. I wish to take images and sell them if possible. i want to make that as profession in future.

That's lovely. Pentax K-50 is so nice. Not everyone knows its value though. Keep taking pictures.
