Correction. I consider myself a pretty good AMATEUR photographer. People are always complimenting me on the pics I take of my kids, often asking what type of camera I use and where I have my pictures printed (back when I printed pictures; I'm quite behind). But you know what? I truly think it's more than that. Sure, having a nice camera helps, but there are plenty of cameras out there that are newer and fancier than mine and people seem to like my digital photography as well as my prints. So what is it about my photographs that grab people and how can you learn the same tricks?

Why you ask? Well, because my background is in portrait photography and it's something that I've recently jumped back into, with both feet. I've always had a passion for it, and now I get to share that with you! text/html 2009-03-09T19:00:00+01:00 http://www.picturemycamera.com http://www.picturemycamera.com/index.php/Picture-My-Camera-Contests/Vote-for-the-Best-Couples-Picture.html Februaries Photo Contest was everything couples related - a fitting tribute to the month of love. text/html 2009-03-06T18:52:49+01:00 http://www.picturemycamera.com http://www.picturemycamera.com/index.php/Beginning-Photography/Types-of-Indirect-Lighting-for-a-Photograph.html There are three types of indirect lighting that photographers can use in their photo composition; shade, diffuse light, and backlighting.
