Originally posted by unixrevolution Having someone who understands why you want to hike, literally, down a whole mountain taking photos, is truly wonderful.
I just wanted to hike and had decent point and shoot photos. Now I can hike and take photos that do the views justice. I am looking forward to summer on the Blue Ridge Parkway.
As for the rest of y'all, I'll explain it in my favorite quote from my dad when he first started teaching me...
One does not simply take a photograph, one takes a memory.
And with y'all's helpful tips and tricks, I can continue to hone my skill and talents, especially when I get volunteered to do things I'm not particularly good at, which is portrait photography. (Gotta love coworkers who think that portrait photography is just like landscape photography but with people in it!)
