The camera is an instrument that teaches people how to see without a camera. ~Dorothea Lange
Kathy's Song-ography prompt for this week is "best day of my life", and I'd have to say that my best day is any day I'm out with my camera looking for beautiful photos to capture. It's pretty much my idea of the perfect day, and I've been getting a lot of "best days" this month.
The joy for me with this whole photography thing is in the search...that sense of excitement I get as I walk around a place in search of that perfect subject to photograph. My photography radar kicks to full-focus mode, and I'm suddenly noticing every detail...I'm looking up, down, and all around so I don't miss a thing. It's like a treasure hunt and, on a good day, my treasure chest ends up full of beautiful photos to take home and process...it doesn't get much better than that. :)
Last weekend we went to Middleburg, VA...I love walking around this quaint town. There were still so many beautiful flowers around, so I found myself zooming in a lot to capture their gorgeous colors. Here are a few shots of my "best day".

Love your feet shot.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful photos, Sherri!
ReplyDeleteGreetings, RW & SK
Beautiful series of shots!
ReplyDeleteAwesome use of DOF.
I'm with you on searching for the perfect subject. You sure have a great eye when you find it. :)
So much color in your pictures! And I feel the same way when I am out and about with my camera - looking around and above and below, getting excited at the thought what might be out there today....
ReplyDeleteNew follower, new fan here - love your work - found you through Songography. This series of photos is so bright and cheery. Happy Sunday!
ReplyDeleteDitto here, out with my camera anywhere! Your shots are great!
ReplyDeleteI concur! Your shots are gorgeous, and photography just plain makes for happiness. My Song♫♪...: http://lauriekazmierczak.com/best-day/
ReplyDeleteThis is a lovely collection of fall beauty! My favorite is the red berries against the house. Just lovely!
ReplyDeleteWhat a great eye you have. So many shots here that caught my eye. Those Hot Pink Flowers, The shot of the leaves and your feet and my favorite the White Benches. I know with a camera everything seems so different. I find myself often looking at stuff when I don't have my camera in a totally different way and think to myself that I should have brought my camera along as that would make a great photo.
ReplyDeleteGlorious contrasts in colour it looks like such a lovely town to visit.
ReplyDeleteLovely flowers and I'm a sucker for a foot shot. They always say, "Here I am!"
ReplyDeleteLove that shot with the benches - lovely photos all around.
ReplyDeleteA treasure hunt! Love that analogy and description of photography as I totally agree with you. It's like your senses go into hyper mode. Love the vibrancy of all these colors too. Thanks for joining in on Song-ography.
