My Photo Collection

Since my dad bought his new camera, he and I have been taking pictures of anything and everything, just catching pretty moments in time. I was taking pictures today, and while emptying the memory card, I was perusing my many albums of random shots that no one is ever likely to see. Except, I kind of think that some of them are good. So I shall display a bunch of them here, and I'll continue to put up a few at a time, and share my amateur photography with whoever has time to kill.



These two pictures were taken just after we got the camera. I'm not even sure whether it was I or my father who took them. We both spent a lot of time playing with the settings and testing things by taking pictures of the chickadees and mourning doves through the garden door.


This is another one that was taken not too long after we got the camera. I was impressed by the zoom the camera had - the bird was far enough away that I didn't know it had anything in its mouth until I looked at the picture.


This was part of my experimentation with shutter speed.



This was more fooling around with shutter speed, and trying to get clear close-ups.


This is a porcupine, obviously. What was funny about him is that his backdrop is my house. It was early spring, I'd just gotten home from school and was about to head upstairs when I saw him right outside the garden door and stopped short. So I headed outside with the camera and took lots of pictures. He was scared to death I think, because he hardly moved. Eventually he decided that he'd had enough and waddled off, but I was out there less than a meter away from him for a good 15 minutes.
