Lens-artists Photo Challenge #373: Looking back to Challenge #31, Landscapes

I do remember doing that challenge, shortly after WordPress stopped sponsoring them. I understand that we have to keep our photos to only six, so I am going to try using ones that I have not used before. I'm pretty sure that landscape photos can be taken from any vantage point that's not a closeup, …

This one is for Hubby. Rural Britain.

For the 25 years we have been together, I have sung the praises of rural Britain to my husband, who has never been to Europe. In my younger days, I traveled to Britain twice, and I have longed to return, to show him the loveliest places I have ever been. So, I found numerous great …

Lens-Artists Photo Challenge #165: Going Wide (with pride)

I love taking photos of landscapes, since I normally notice the wide view.  I don't have a wide-angle lens for my normal point-and-shoot camera, nor my iPhone, which I have been using for most photography for the past two years.  I used to pooh-pooh all the people who are constantly using their phones to capture …

Lens-Artists Photo Challenge #133: My photography journey

I guess I'd have to say I've always been a lazy photographer.  When I was married to my first husband, who was an excellent photographer, besides being an engineer; I had an SLR film camera (this was back in the olden days before digital photography), but I had trouble mastering all its ins and outs, …
