The Creative Photography Blog's Goal: help you explore the world through digital photography.

The goal: create posts that  will entertain you, and supply tips and connections to help you find your voice and your personal style in the exciting world of digital photography.

If you are a self-taught photographer, you always recognize that you are never alone in your journey. It is amazing how many people are out there ready to help you and share their expertise with you. These experienced photographers and instructors who give their time and knowledge to help those just starting out on the journey are the backbone of the photography world.

The serious but fun approach about learning the art of photography; attend workshops, The Santa Fé Photographic Workshop; Rocky Mountain School of Photography; enroll in a college course, Photography 101; seek out amateur or professional photographers who will share their tips; and join your local camera club. Soon, you realize you are a part of the photography village, a group dedicated to pursuing the fine art of photography.

As your photo passion develops, you will discover that every day is a great day for photography, and if you are searching for the light and the path to better images, this blog may help you. Never forget to look up when you're shooting, and most importantly, turn around and look behind you!

If you have comments and tips, please share them with us, if you do not want credit, just make a note.

A quote for you: At some point someone is going to ask, "Hey, what’s your favorite photograph?" You may want to use Imogen Cunningham's quick reply, "Which of my photographs is my favorite? The one I’m going to take tomorrow".

The Gear: Camera: Canon 5D EOS Mark II; Canon EF 70-300mm f/4-5.6L IS USM Autofocus Telephoto Zoom Lens; Canon EF 17-40mm f/4L USM Ultra Wide Angle Zoom; Canon EF 100mm f/2.8 L IS USM Macro Lens.

If you need a 1:1 magnification ratio + Hybrid Image Stabilization, the macro covers the bases. The lens is sharp, and the excellent image quality serves well as a portrait lens.

 If you visit the portfolio, FLORA, at  janiemcrae.com  please compare the first 11 flower images shot with this Macro100mm to the images that follow shot with the Canon 70-300mm. You decide.
