Taking a good photo is so satisfying. And the process of finding a good shot is so...nice. I don't know how else to describe it! Hmm...
I'm not always the best at focusing. Just ask my friends. ;) But seriously. I zone out, I get distracted, I go on tangents. It's what makes me so charming. =D When I'm in "photography mode" it's different though. My mind sort of slows down.
Today, I had some time to kill and I took myself on a photo safari. (Remind me to write a post about what a photo safari is one day.) The sun was beginning to set and the lighting was really nice. I drove by a field and pulled over. I was going to take pictures of the flowers there, but there were all these butterflies. So I spent the next several minutes stalking butterflies and trying to take a good shot. (It didn't quite work out.) Anyway, as I was following one butterfly, I had a neat thought. Photography is like butterfly stalking. At least, it is for me. Walking slowly, being quiet, looking for little details. (Okay, this was a lot cooler in my head than it is in writing. I still wanted to share though.) I like butterfly stalking.
These might be moths... I never did learn to tell the difference. Moths are cool too though.
