Written by Administrator | I could not decide which photo I loved most, so I am going to use a few of Melissas photos and share her amazing talent with all of you... Enjoy!!
How long have you been taking photos?
I started taking photos after I won a Canon Sure Shot while on maternity leave about 10 years ago. It was perfect timing with my first little one on the way. I remember thinking it was the coolest camera ever because it had zoom, which I had never had before. I took pictures just to take them back then though. It wasn't until three years ago when we had an ice storm in Indiana that I started to see the wow moments I could capture on film.
Have you ever taken photography classes?
No but it's something I have considered here lately. I am 100% self taught and out of instinct I just click when I see something that makes me phase everything else out. However, I think I would benefit from knowing more about the technical side of photography to ensure the best photograph possible for whatever pictures I'm shooting that day.
What do you most love to shoot?
Nature is my favorite subject to photograph. It is ever-changing and there are endless possibilities in what you can shoot. I have always seen nature as the greatest beauty there is to photograph and the best part is that it just sits there and waits for you. As a photographer you have the pleasure of being able to freeze a moment of that beauty and help open people's eyes to see that even the most simple things in life can be beautiful.
What kind of camera do you use?
I use a Canon PowerShot. It is nothing fancy in the least bit.
