This is a thread where members who enjoy photography as a vocation or hobby can share discussions of this mutual interest in all of its aspects! (Feel free to share images of, or links to, your photographs.)

I thought i had read good reads is not going to allow pics anymore. Pity on that one too.

Replying to Calvin:

Thank you! I actually just use my phone, Samsung S22 Plus. I started with a S10 plus, went to a S20 plus (actually had camera issues with it) and now the S22 Plus. I used to have a Nikon camera but it was just so bulky to carry around especially hiking that I just sold it and got a better phone to use the camera. I probably should have went with a Ultra but all the research I did the Ultra only zoomed in more than the Plus, the quality of the photo wasn't much better. I was basing my phone purchase just on the quality of the camera/video and nothing else. I prefer Andriod as I have had both Andriod and iphone. There are things about the iphone that annoy me. When I have the money and see a phone with a better camera/video I will upgrade. I am satisfied with this one right now. I usually change a bunch of settings in it from youtube videos telling me whats best as far as the camera and video. I also have a youtube channel. Have a good weekend!

I will see if I can find somewhere to share photos that people couldn't take them.



ah that worked ok.

Here’s a neat photo I took last summer: https://i.imgur.com/DzGaZGA.jpeg

I’ve got a question for Julie: how did you post your photo of that water fall? It looks great, and I’d like to learn so I can post mine that way.

Have a great week!

Wow, that picture is awesome! I love the water droplets.

That is a really amazing photo!

Here’s a neat photo I took in South Carolina:

Awesome! I love sunsets and have a ton of photos of them in my area.

I'm glad you like that photo, Naomi! I am not into "professional" photography yet; I used (and still use) a Nikon P-500 (2011) with a fixed lens (4.0–144.0 mm). It is pretty old, but it's great at macro photography and has a really nice zoom. It isn't great for portraits (with no bounce flash), but works okay.
What camera do you use? I'd also enjoy seeing some of your photos, too.😊

That sunset photo amazing, Julie!

This is another photo i took in Folly Beach SC:

That is so cool! I have an older camera too, it is a Canon Rebel T6.
What are y’all using to post pictures? I cannot figure out how to get it to work

Oh I will just put some on my profile picture, I think that is the easiest anyways

Thank you!

Awesome beach photo! I used to love to get up early and see the sunrise on the coast of NC.

Those photos are really neat! I like the one with the circular motion; very…artistic, I guess it would be called that!😊

I looked up your camera, Naomi, and it looks like a really nice one!
When did you start using it? I started using my Nikon about two years ago.

Here’s another one I took in my backyard;



I recently created my own logo in the lower right hand corner! What do you guys think?

Thankyou!! That was a fun one! I try to shoot different ways sometimes and sometimes it works out 😁

I cannot see the logo for some reason. Like your message is just blank spaces.

I have been using mine for two years too! It is my photographer friend’s old camera!

What got you into photography?

Can you see the dandelion sunset photo of mine that I just posted? If you can, then my logo is on the lower, right-hand corner; "CMT" (my initials).

Here's another way of posting it: https://imgur.com/a/rLNcRgb

I've always had a thing for taking pictures since I was really young, probably because my grandfather was into photography, some; he used to take photos of weddings.

I liked any kind of nature/animals books, etc, and now I like both; taking photos of God's amazing creation.😁

What got you interested in photography?

I like the logo it looks good. Great photo!

Just so uk, I unfriended y’all for security reasons, not for anything personal.

It is just hard cuz I am a minor idk if that makes sense, and I hope I did I not hurt you

No problem. If you saw someone else on your photo link that was me it was just my husbands account. scatpack01 I have to be signed into his accounts for business. I am the office manager for him.

No problem, Naomi; I understand; safety always should come first!😊
I would still enjoy it if you continued posting on our photography group!😊

Have any of you taken any pictures of animals? Here's a photo I took outside our church that I thought turned out pretty well:

That's cute! Most of the animals I have taken pics of is my pets..lol.

Out of all of you photos, which is your favorite? Is there any story behind it?

I took this one last summer; I just happened to step outside and knew it had to capture it!😊

Oh wow, that's awesome! A favorite hmm, that's a tough one. Mountains and Sunsets are my favorites. I will have to look and see if I have one out of them all.

This is one of my favorites, I don't think I have a top favorite. It was on a hiking trip a few years ago in September near Blowing Rock NC.

WOW; that is really beautiful!😲 Breath-taking!

I totally understand you; I don’t think I could pick an all-time favorite of my own either.

Here is an interesting photo I took over a year ago that turned out okay.

That's really nice with the sun's rays. You are very artistic with photos. I've never been that way I'm just a point and shoot if it looks pretty...lol.

Nice picture. Where was this taken?

I have alot of photos of animals and birds. How do I upload them to Goodreads??

..." Very nice, did you lay on the ground for that picture?

I just download my pictures from my Canon Digital Rebel, onto my computer, and then resize them in Photoshop. Can I share my pictures simply from my computer? Probably not.

I uploaded some pictures from IMGUR, but I don't know how to post them here. Help!

Ah you are in Asheville, that's so cool. I am a little over a hour east of there.

I thought those mountains in that last photo you sent reminded me of the ones around where I live! Makes sense, now.😊👍🏼

Do you have any good pics of your pets you’d mind sharing?

BTW, one of the main reasons I wanted to join this photography group is because I wanted your guys imput on my pics; if you see anything I could have done better, I’m always trying to improve.😁. Thx!

I will be happy to give you input on your photos. I hope we didn't scare Naomi off, I'm not exactly sure what happened. I hope she's ok. Let me see if I can find a good one of my pets. This is one of my cats Jade.

Adorable!☺️ I don’t have any pets, but have always had a desire for companionship of some kind. How many pets do you have?

I have 3 right now. 2 cats and 1 dog. I used to have horses also but that's been a few years back. Duster-Australian Cattle Dog/Golden Retriever mix (I think) he's 10. Jade-Brown tabby she's 13 and Macie-Gray tabby also 13. Pic is from my old house, we are in between houses right now, sold our place in 2024 waiting on the right one.

That photo is adorable; it looks like they really get along together!😊 I bet you miss having horses! Did you get any interesting pictures of them? That must have been a very different pace of life compared to having the trio you have now.😊

Here's a nice pic I got last month:

Oh wow, that's beautiful! I will have to load up some photos of my past horses. They were registered miniature horses. They are just easier to take care of than the big ones. I would ride on and off from 5 yrs old up until about 7 or 8 yrs ago. I just don't want to fall off and break something.

I bet they were a lot of fun. I don’t blame you at all for wanting to stay on the ground—safety first! I’d love to see those photos whenever you get a chance to find them. 😊

Here's another pic of the valley (by now, I'm sure you have started noticing the same mountain range in some of my photos.🤭)

You live in a beautiful area that's for sure, great place to take photos. I want to go south of Asheville on the Blue Ridge Parkway sometime, it looks so pretty down that way. I've only be across the parkway from Mt. Mitchell back towards northeast.

I've had 4 different miniature horses, all were registered. A couple from champion show mini bloodlines. This is my first one Tess. She's in a good home now, she's older 30 I believe this year. This was in the early winter so she had her winter coat.
