An amateur with a small cheap digital camera I have just returned to RB after 6 months. I have just removed the majority of last years work and will gradually uploading new work. Watch this space!
I think I have a good eye for colour and composition but am limited to what I can produce due to lack of decent software. This is not always necessary – just ask ‘As Is’ group members!
My camera goes everywhere with me.
My favourite subjects are flowers and waterfowl.
Why flowers?
They are beautiful, colourful… and stand pretty still!
Why water fowl? I love feeding the ducks at the local boating lake and when they are well fed they tend to hang around a while.
MaryMina is my User name: Mina being a childhood nickname, Mary referring to the Holy Mother.
I would love to be able to take photos to face spiritual writing. I have in mind to produce booklets of short meditations, one day, God willing.
Advice and support is always welcome. Thank you.
