Now that I’m a member of the photographer’s guild (which, by the way, is a great choice of name) I thought I’d share a little about my camera and the kinds of pictures I like.

I use a Nikon SLR 35-mm camera. I’m not sure just what the body type is, but it’s relatively new. I bought it new about four years ago. I use the lens that came in the start-up camera pack I bought, and a zoom lens my parents got for me as a college graduation gift.

I’ve said before, on this very Web site, that I love to take pictures. As soon as I can get my computer at home working, I’ll try to post a couple of my favorites.

I like to take outdoor pictures. My favorite pictures I’ve ever taken are from Glacier National Park in Montana. I also like a state park in Wisconsin called Wyalusing.

Unfortunately, not a lot of nature pictures have people in them. For people pictures, I like to take the picture when the people aren’t looking, so they don’t pose or anything like that. Pictures of people smiling for the camera are all well and good, but I’d rather have pictures of people smiling just for the fun of it.

What kinds of pictures do our other amateur Jordan photographers like to take? Any suggestions for snapping candid shots when people know you’ve got a camera out?

 Also, I'd like to have a weekend soon where everyone goes out and takes a few pictures, and then they can post them on this site. Sound good to anyone else? Suggest some dates!
