[QUOTE="Thumper_6119, post: 564413, member: 14611"] While it is not the reason that I pursue photography, I really like the sound and feel of an SLR/DSLR's shutter actuation. I like that feel/sound when I am shooting. I know that is really weird. I have always loved the whole going out and capturing moments in the world sort of thing. I started out with a Polaroid when I was a child, then I had a Kodak Instamatic. I remember having to take the cassette to a drug store or a photomat booth when I was younger to get the film developed and prints made. Then when I first started college, I took courses in photography, and I got into developing my own film and making my own prints. That was where the whole thing took on a whole new light (if you will) and it really changed for me. I was so hooked after that. But it changed that way that I looked at things. I shot everything that caught my eye after that. I had a bit of hiatus for several years due to what was going on in life at that point, but when I came back, digital was the thing, and film was more difficult to do. (I had no access to a wet lab for one). I got my first DSLR and relearned/refreshed the basics. And I was off again. My wet lab was now totally electronic, and I was able to do so much more. (I still have a romantic attachment to film though, and I still have my film SLR's, including my very first one. A Nikon, of course). But like many others, I like the nature of photography in capturing moments of life and of the world, then interpreting those to share with others. When I am not shooting anything specific, I do love to just walk where ever and make any place that I am at into a photo walk. I take my camera bag with me almost everywhere that I go. I even take it to work (and I am not a professional photographer) just in case an opportunity comes up that I might not want to miss. And I do love sharing my work, eventhough it is not anything special (to anyone else). It is sort of "this is the world through my eyes". It is a lot of fun, and I greatly enjoy the pursuit of it.
