Before going to the beach, make sure your camera is totally charged. I also recommend bringing your ipod, and playing some cool beach songs like haley and I did. Here is a list of great ones!

Beach!
The best pictures are taken in places you don't go very often, or one in a lifetime chances. This summer, I went to the beach with my best friend Haley, so I took some random pictures to remember it. It was a pretty awesome day overall.

Food!
I am kind of hungry right now, because I am trying to get things done instead of relaxing. So I decided to do a picture journey on food. One day, after coming back from a tournament, I stopped at this cute little bistro and Ordered some lemon bars. They were so incredibly good, but were also really interesting looking. Of course, I just had to take some pictures of it.
Here is a lemon bars recipe just like the ones in my pictures!

Another Picture journey!
This picture journey is about floral things, and pretty much plants period. I love taking pictures of nature, and I feel like most of my best pictures are taken outside or of really pretty flowers.
Here are some really pretty lotus flower I wish I could take some pictures of. Too bad I dont have a pond.
One day, I was at my grandmother's house, waiting for my cousins to come and pick me up. I went outside to swing (haha. Yeah I am still like a seven year old) and I saw her really pretty flowers in her garden. I retrieved my handy camera from my pocket and started snapping pictures.

One of my Picture Journeys
Sometimes, when I have nothing to do, I just randomly take pictures. Even if the pictures are not of extraordinary things, I can make them look cool with the different photography ideas that i already posted.
My first picture journey happened at a volleyball tournament. We were at a pool, lounging and swimming, and it was about five o'clock. The sun was going down and I thought it looked really pretty. I threw the inflatable volleyball into the pool, as lame as it sounds, i then followed it across the pool and incorporated the sun, the ball, and the pool all together. I thought it was pretty cool.
My water shots, however, are really not as impressive as this one.. But I'll just keep trying! :)

"New" Photography.
Diane Arbus is a rather new photographer from moderately our time. She lived from 1923- 1971 and was featured in many museums like the San Fransisco Museum of Modern Art and also the The Metropolitan Museum of Modern Art in New York.
Some may not know of her, but a movie about her life was made and Nicole Kidman played her.
Some of her works are :
Lady in Seventies Room
Fire Eater
Boy with Toy Hand Grenade
Maybe Diane would approve of my picture of my cousin. She likes to take picture of people in black and white too!

History of Pictures :)
In the year 2009 that we live in, pictures are taken easily and digitally. If we dont like a picture, we can just delete it and then retake it. It was different for people in the early times, who had to wait a hours just to obtain one picture!
The first photograph was actually taken in 1827by Niepce, which required eight hours to even develop it!
Here is a black and white picture, it kind of looks like it was taken in old times. Maybe Niepce would approve!

FLORAL THINGS!
Taking pictures of flowers is definitely my favorite thing to do. It lets nature look beautiful, and they are the best subjects because they never move!
Digital Macro is a great setting for this type of photography and if executed in the right way, it can look pretty amazing.
If you really want to spice up your photography, add another element into the picture. It can be an object or anything you would like it to be.
This is a really helpful page for taking pictures of flowers!
This is a picture of my dog and a pretty flower I found in my backyard. This was a little trickier because by dog is annoying and doesn't like to sit still.
