It's all Ducky!

Male Wood Duck (aka Carolina Duck)

It's time for Thursday Two Questions!

My questions for you today:

1) Do you enjoy taking photos? Why?
2) Other than family/friends what are your favorite things to photograph?

Oh, I wish I could ever see a Wood Duck! They look painted! We have lots of ducks around here, but none of these! Of course I love taking photos, It's my obsession! We can't even drive five minutes to the grocery store without stopping multiple times! I guess I enjoy nature, flowers and such, the best. But also snapping things in museums as well, and quirky things we happen to pass by.

I just don't like taking photos, I am ADDICTED to it. I love wildlife photos the best, it is like a treasure hunt and when I find something to take a photo of it is like I got a prize. Anything that nature provides to us is beauty through the lens.

What a great shot. I love that.

1. I am obsessed with taking photos. My camera goes everywhere with me. It's a way for me to express myself.

2. I like taking photos of nature, specifically flowers and animals. I also really enjoy taking shots of architecture. The more exotic the better.

Yes, this painted wood ducky is just plain old Ducky. he is beautiful. we have them at Jungle Gardens and I love to sit on the bench and watch them. they are so unique with all those colors painted in squares.

1) I love taking photos, and especially macro, because I can see details in things that I didn't see before.

2) My favorite subjects to take picture are flowers and sky!

What a handsome duck!

Fancy calling a male duck Carolina (sorry!)
I like taking photos though my husband is much better (more patient)I like to capture immediate happenings but the real pleasure comes in the editing.
My favourite subjects are dogs, cats, birds, flowers, trees, clouds - Natural History, I suppose.

I'm not a very good photographer but enjoy looking at the ones I've taken. My favorite subjects are animals, skies, flowers, and taking photos in the fog/mist. Objects through the mist are interesting.

I used to enjoy taking pictures until my file drawers became overloaded with photos that never found their way into albums. You'd think digital cameras would have helped, but I never got around to transferring my digital photos to computer or onto photo paper. This has to change though. As a writer I need to use my camera more, not only to record all the wonderful details around me, but to look at my world through new eyes.

Luna Miranda said...

i love your header photo! so beautiful. and the mallard is so pretty

yes, i love taking photos. i like the idea of freezing a moment and i can look at it again and again.

oh, anything--i love taking photos of places i visit, my dog, food, architectural details, old buildings, nature.

Donnie said...

Lovely. No I don't enjoy taking photos. I don't really have any favorite subjects. Good questions.

I love taking pictures...and discovered this year that my favorite thing to take pictures of is Caterpillars. They are FASCINATING when you use that zoom. Flowers are fun too.

Check these out...flowers and caterpillars at the same time = double the photo taking fun!

1) I don't enjoy living behind the lenses. I don't enjoy the download, or the organizing, and storage. I do enjoy seeing the moment capture though. So not all of it is enjoyment to me.
2) I am not obsessed in taking pictures of anything or anybody, unless I have an urge. But if we narrow it down I enjoy taking photos of food that I cook most.

1-I enjoy taking photos because I can reserve the moments.

2-I like faces, and the expressions and wrinkles on old people.

The foliage reflected on the water is so golden!

Photography is one form of "de-stressing". Quite a few times I take along my camera to work. Otherwise, it is used on the weekends only.

My favorite is landscape.

I love taking photos! I want to cature that exact moment for a memory! And I want to share it!

I love nature. This is God's way of sharing with us. I see nature and I see God.

Mandrin ducka are a duck of love according to the chinese.

I love photography because the photos record sweet memories and they are now for my blogging.
