Joy of Taking Pictures

59

By tim-tim

I went to Chicago to visit my mom this weekend because of her birthday. We had a good time. On the way home from Chicago, I took some photos and thought it was interesting to share some with you. I don't have a fancy camera or any experience on photagraphy. I just like to take pictures because I enjoy doing that.  I am one of those people who like to do things but not necessarily doing it right. Imagine, sometimes I just expect the unecpected that way. You can think that I am strange or unique. Whatever you think, I hope you enjoy this. Love to have your feedback.

I enjoyed everyone. Sometimes the lights with movement work very well. Of course when they turn out so well, it's encouragement. I saw a bicycle.

LOL@Mickey, I think he would see a bike in any situation. I really like them all. My fave is the one of Grand Ave. I think it is because it moves me. Also the bike may be in those clouds? LOL Nice work girl. Hugs, CC

Haha, I think all of them are good, the lotto one is nice, but I am not into that. I would like for my wife to win big some time though as she loves it. LOL Is the bike in the lotto picture?

I like your photos! Who needs a fancy camera and experience, only you can take your photos. I see photos as being able to look through someone else's eyes- post more! =)

Hi tim-tim. Thank you for your wonderful comments and encouragement. I truly love the pictures here that you have taken. The one labled Random scene is in the loop downtown. I have walked that street many times. In good and bad times. Your pictures are beautiful. Accidental art. I love it! Namaste

I also like taking pictures though I don't have a very expensive camera. What I like about digital camera nowadays is you don't get to waste film. You can just shoot and shoot pictures then just delete when you don't like it. You can also edit or retouch your pictures even with free software or programs like Adobe Photoshop starter edition or Google's picasa. Keep on taking pictures.

Those were really neat. My favorites are the first one of the museum, and the grand ave. where the tree lit up left tracers. I'm sure you are much like me... your worst critic. The simple fact is, that the pictures you don't see as perfect, are actually really awesome when you consider that they were taken through a dirty car window! LOL. Definitely good. cool! Thanks! I hope you might like some of my photos! I have some on pretty much every hub I've created. :-P And when you talk about not having a fancy camera! ha ha. I use my $24 camera/phone!

tim-tim Hub Author 2 years ago

fereitica, thank you so much for the comment. You are right about me:) Of course you are also right about the dirty car window, LOL. I will need to visit your hubs and see your photos from a $24 camera/phone. Wow! I would not think of that as a good tool to take picture simply because I took photos with mine before and they did not turn out good. Thank you for visiting my hub!
