I've recently gotten into photography...

The beach shots are stunning. Are they filtered or non?

Would love to get a camera even though I love photography. But given the fact that I'm one lazy bastard, uploading pics to my IG from my phone is enough for the time being lol

No, I've not ventured into trying filters yet.

.

I've found that I really enjoy it! I had always wanted to try it, and since life has taken a new twist, I thought, "why not?"

.

And thank you!

I'm a big fan of VSCOcam. Unlike other filters, this app is more subtle. And it really compliments camera photography, not just smartphones.

Here's what the waves looked like that day (Friday): https://scontent-atl3-1.x...e=5671B41F

They were beautiful. I enjoyed being at the beach and I was by myself so no kids vying for my attention or trying to hurry me up. lol

.

And one that I really liked, the contrasts in this were beautiful to me (and there just a sense of innocence and awe in him): https://scontent-atl3-1.x...e=56631078

.

And one of my bee pics: https://scontent-atl3-1.x...e=5663F4CB

.

And another butterfly for luv4u: https://scontent-atl3-1.x...e=566B6C65

.

I'm sorry. I don't know how to imbed pictures in the posts.

.

I actually had someone offer to buy a print of one of my other butterfly shots on FB which really surprised me. I am just getting into this as a new hobby and since the garden were the first set of pics I had shot, I felt like I was still learning and just experimenting with the ISO, aperture, and shutter. There were a lot that I got that were really weird because of the different settings, but when I would find the right settings (and lens to use) ... but just never thought they were really *that* good. So I thought it would be nice to get outside opinions because of family and friends, "Yeah, those are great! You have a great eye! You know exactly when to take the shot!" But they are supposed to like it. lol

Well, if you are a guy, yeah. Though, I guess there would be a lot of money to be made there... hmmm....

Myrtle Beach. I had to go to a two day workshop, and we got out early on Friday, so I went to the beach and walked around taking pics. The waves were wild that day because of the hurricane further south.

Will do. My divorce was just finalized, so this has been good therapy for me, to find something to be passionate about. Thanks again! hug

Yes, it's the United States, South Carolina (southeast) along the Atlantic coast line. Where are you located?

Thank you! No, I didn't use a tripod. The one I have (that came with it), just doesn't seem very sturdy. I'm loving the camera, though. Really enjoying taking unusual pictures when I can.

Thank you! Regarding Instagram, I've started a page, but find it a hassle, because I can only post pictures through my phone. Also, the pictures have to be cropped.
