Just a
little background. . .
After
years of just messing around with a regular 35mm camera, I
received a digital camera for Christmas. It was a point and
shoot Olympus D-490, 3.1 megapixel with a 3X zoom and macro. I was able to
take all the pictures I wanted, delete the ones that didn't
"work" and print them myself. I entered my photos in local
county fairs, won a few ribbons and began to share my photos
with my family and friends at work. As my confidence began to
build, I decided to try marketing my photos. Now I sell my photo
enlargements as well as 4x6s mounted on 5x7 note cards and small
photo enclosure cards. Lately I upgraded to better cameras (more
megapixels and better zoom) and printers and I continue to learn
more about different technologies.
One of my favorite subjects (needless to say) is Monarch
Butterflies. I raise them as a hobby and take advantage of their
calmness just after they have emerged from their chrysalis. (A
while ago I raised my first black swallowtails and was
amazed at beauty that emerged. Yet another wonderful
subject!) I
do, however, also enjoy photographing local and vacation
scenery, sunsets, and flowers. But I have to say, my favorite is
close-ups of flowers and monarchs.
