Photography 3

Photography with a cell phone is fun; you can take photos from angles that you wouldn't normally do with a normal camera. It will also not cost you an arm and a leg.


It is interesting to go read about the history of the development of the camera and to see where photography comes from.

The History of taking photos was not always that simple a task.

In today's modern times we are so spoiled by the digital camera, where we could see the image immediately and don't have to wait for 8 hours to develop a photo. I love the digital age, don't you?

Photos from my Nokia N95 Cell Camera.

When things get to me, this is my place of peace.

Water has a calming effect on the senses and the sounds of birds and the wind in the trees has a way of getting our minds to stop for a while and just appreciate what God has given us.

The beauty of nature always brings to mind the beauty of God's nature.

God, the designer of the universe and all that is therein, with all the different facets, the uniqueness of each individual plant in creation, the patterns and the forms, the colours and fragrance.

What a rich blessing to our senses.

This young tree, found between the other much larger trees stands out because it is growing strong, alone yet dwafed by others.

Spring is my favorite time to check on this "teenager", making a stand getting stronger and more lovely each year.

This signal stands close to where we live.

With the clouds behind it with the rays of the son breaking through, to me, is symbolic of the word in my life, with the direction it gives and the light of the Lord shining into our lives when we take the time to see.

The glory of Sunrise. A photo of Brixton tower, where SABC sends out it's signal.

This used to belong to the military many years back.

I took this photograph on my way to work at about 5h30 am.

A cold, quiet Sunday afternoon, and yet there are some who are not afraid to take to the water in thier canoes.

I love the dam and watching the changes in the trees, plants and birds throughout the different seasons.

Here, in the middel of winter, there are bare, golden and even many evergreen trees, bushes and plants intertwined, standing together in the cold and wind, just waiting for Spring to warm thier trunks and leaves, and to bring the beauty of the bloomsand colour of Spring back into thier lives.
