Photography Questions

- When did you start your photography journey (as in when did you start taking it seriously)?

Idk if I'd say I'm taking it seriously, but I started getting interested in it probably during 2021 when I was taking a bunch of random pictures with my friends.

I then really got interesting in making the pictures actually look good rather than funny/silly, and I found the process satisfying. One time we had a professional photographer come over for pictures, and I geeked out!

- What are your favourite types of photos to take (provide examples of ones you've taken)?

I like making my cat pictures and pictures of nature look professional and STUNNING. Here are some recents that I'm proud of.

Do you know how hard it is to photograph black cats :joy:

- Share your least and most favourite photos you've added to PA (give a brief 1 sentence explanation for each)?

Uhh I haven't really added any-

- Whats your go to gear for taking photos?

My trusty phone and a wiped camera lens! :joy:

- Are there any types of photography you're itching to learn?

The confusing world of cameras. What's the differences? What does ISO and other jargon mean? I'm also interested in learning how to photograph people well, as in getting int lighting right and posing naturally.

Random questions

- Who's your favourite singer/band?

This is haaard because I'm more of a genre and specific song person rather than a group! I'll just share some songs I like.

For ethereal vibes

So Will I - Hillsong UNITED

For catchy and hype vibes

Me Without You - TobyMac

For getting deep and heartfelt

Give Me Jesus - VOUS Worship

- What's a saying or phrase you say a lot?

I'm so @ing you right now

- Hobbit or elf for 24 hours and why?

Elf because they sound boujee :joy: Elusive, mystical, and live in pretty forests?? Yess please!

- You shrink an object and have to carry it around with you for a year, what did you choose?

A plushie to wear as an earring, because they're soft, comforting, and adorable. Such as my whale plushie here.

- Create a made-up holiday (needs a name and a theme)

National Napping Day

Basically labor day, but people get together to have naps like back in Kindergarten days!

And now, for the GIF spam...because it'll be the first and last time I can! :grin:
