The Evolution of My Photography – Part IV

Posted on

This is the final post in this series on the journey I’ve embarked on with my photography. From birds to mushrooms to monochromes to macro to, finally, where I am now.

I’m not sure how exactly I would describe my current place in photography, but I certainly know that I still have much to learn and experience. Lately I’ve been drawn to birds – capturing their candidness in a few quick shots is a definite challenge, but I’m up for it, and it becomes all the more rewarding. I also still enjoy taking macro (up-close) photos of plants, fungi, and other oddities. And landscapes, of course, never cease to inspire my camera: reflections, clouds, mountains, trees, etc.

Here are some recent photos that best describe where I’m at in my adventures. (So I may have gotten a *little* carried away…I have a lot of favourites.)
