Be a Photographer

river-photography_new barn

This photograph just goes to show that anyone can be a photographer.  These bird houses are in the far corner of my backyard.  I glanced out the window that morning, saw we had a good cover of fog, and grabbed my camera.  All you need is a good tripod, a manual camera, and a light meter.  So go for it, be a photographer!  You won't know if you are any good till you have tried it.  What's nice about digital photography is that you don't have to spend money on printing everything.  Take several thousand pictures then adjust whatever needs adjusting on the computer and then print a select few, big and awesome.  This print looks its best at 20" by 30".  That way the new barn is more visible on the foggy hillside and every little detail in the grass is enhanced.
