I love photography. Anyone else? I always love learning about any process of it. In college, I loved the black and white dark room. Never tried the color dark room. Had a little difficulty with remembering the details of how to use the adjustable camera at the time, as my short term memory was really bad, but I always seemed to know how to take the photos and did a good job at it. I loved playing with light and shadows.

Yes, photography is another of my passions.  I used a Canon film camera for many years, and about a year ago I got my first digital camera, a 7.1 mp with a 12x zoom.  Love it!  I take lots of shots of my cats, but my favorite thing is landscapes and nature shots.  I spent a lot of time learning the settings for an SLR camera, but my new digital works so well in Auto mode that I hardly ever have to change the settings, unless I want to do some kind of special effects.  Mostly though I go in for realism, and the more lifelike a shot comes out the better I like it, especially a beautiful nature scene.

I love to take walks in the parks or get out of the city if I can, to look for appealing scenes to shoot; especially the first flowers of spring, the first snowfall, etc.

OK, here are a couple of cloud shots; these were taken in a park near my house.  I live in the city so I don't find too many really nice landscapes but we do what we can lol.

I tried to upload some other pix but it didn't work, I don't know why; it said "Upload failed", but no explanation as to why.

I think this one looks like a bird; a friend of mine said it looked like a plane...so I wondered if the next person would think it looks like Superman! lol  (If you're old enough to remember the TV show--I am)

it looks like a stun-ray gun from the old star trek. LOL. I love skyscapes. Clouds are my recent interest, since I finally got some sunglasses and I can now look up at the bright sky. 

beautifull pics.

Wow!  Great work, and such gorgeous scenes!  Where did you take them?

Hopefully this post will only appear once...don't know why my last one came up twice.

OMG - those pictures are amazing!  That's true talent.  I wish I could take photos like that. 

Hmmmm - I am suddenly motivated to try and put together a collection of picture that represent my AS way of seeing the world and make beautiful scenes!  Maybe we could make a book of Aspie photography or something!

Wow - I love scenes like the ones you have photos of.

Maybe I should try taking pictures -I have a camera, so that's a start.  And now with digital cameras you don't have to pay for developing.  Cheap hobby for me I'm thinking.
