I hope this is an original quote, and if it's not, sorry to whomever I stole it from... (insert copyright for that unidentified individual who will hopefully not beat me up, here). That would be awkward. But anyways...
Hey everyone, Welcome back!
The past couple weeks of I have been traveling to Lake Lure, North Carolina, and Nashville, Tennessee. If any of you haven't been to either, you should seriously consider going.
Whether you take a picture and your ISO is set to automatic and you don't realize it so all of your pictures come out grainy... Or take a really amazing photo, there is nothing that compares with seeing nature in person, hands on. So all you can do is try your hardest to capture nature, the best you can, through your lens.
And that is what I tried to do here...
Like anything else in life that holds importance in someone's life, putting your photographs out there in the world for everyone to see is nerve-wracking, without a doubt. It isn't easy. But it is also how you grow and get better at your art. Plus, these little butterflies and fluffy clouds deserve the attention.
The views looking out from Party Rock and being able to capture the most massive waterfall I have ever seen reminded me that doing what you love is worth it.
...even through the hours spent hiking and being completely out of breath from forgetting your inhaler, also getting to the top of the waterfall and having the water completely soak through all of your clothes that you now get to wear for the 3 hour hike back down...
It was well worth carrying my camera in my squeaky camera bag everywhere I went on these vacations, because with every step I took hearing the side of my bag squeak as it hit the back of my leg, I was going out into the world, bonding with nature, and probably scaring some of the little critters with my constant "snap-shot" sound when I took each picture.
I hope these butterflies and plants of nature are honored to see themselves on my blog the next time they have internet access, because I am honored that they are in mine as they posed so nicely for me.
Off to find my next victims, I mean models.
Stay tuned.
