Cameras can be complicated; a breakdown of the latest in camera technologies and photography techniques to help you get the perfect shot.
A Peaceful World
Life is like a camera. Focus on what’s important, capture the good moments, develop from the negative, and if things don’t work out take another shot. My high school Digital Photography teacher, Mrs. Licata gave me a framed photo with this quote, and it stands on my night stand every night. Once I say this photo contest, I knew this was the right time to put my best foot forward!

A blossoming daisy
My photography journey began while living in east Tennessee, where there is an abundance of trees everywhere you look. The green of the grass and trees, the baby blue sky and country sites with hay rolls on long stretched out fields. Really not much to do if you do not have a farm to tend to. It is a peaceful place to live.

Expect to get wet...
Oh don’t be fooled, it was a very wet and cold day! When I got offered to abseil down a waterfall, I didn’t think much off it. I assumed that I would only be getting my feet wet and maybe a splash in the face. Here in Melbourne, Australia the waterfalls aren’t that big. Or so I thought…

A Call into a Chilly Fall
My brother had found me that day crying. I was surrounded by boxes in the new room he so kindly let me stay in. I had just lost my high school sweetheart and the child we accidentally created. He patiently sat on the bed and let me howl about how worthless and lost I felt and about how much I wanted to give up. He gave me a few minutes to calm down and said, “ Grab your camera, Gab. Let’s go on a walk.” It took me a minute to find my old yearbook camera, I finally found it buried in an old box I honestly forgot about.

Shimmering Sun
As I sit inside the house, hours ticking by, I can’t help but feel that the sun would be spectacular tonight. So as sundown neared, I grabbed my Canon t7i and headed out back to the farm. The air was fresh and clean, a good sign for a nice summer, but as I looked up, the thought of the clean, crisp air cleared my mind. All I could think about now was the shimmering of the sun just above eye level. My gut was right, the sun is beautiful tonight. I can only think of how much I am enjoying this moment as I snap the perfect picture. However, as quickly as the snap from my camera, the sun has set. I guess I really enjoyed the moment, because I only got one perfect picture.

Good Morning, Kodiak
Hey! Amateur photographer here. I know almost nothing about settings, and my best strategy is "don't breathe", so my hands stay steady and shots don't come out blurry. Which is sometimes very hard to do, depending on my level of excitement. (I'm a really bad concert photographer because of this!) But this shot I captured back in 2013, is still one of my favorites ever, and makes me feel like a semi-professional. (I'm not even close, but it makes me feel that way!)

The Tree and the Trolley
Alone and frustrated, I wander the empty streets with only the light of the moon and the tungsten glow from ageing street lights to guide me. There’s something about empty streets that puts me at ease. I feel at home; I can wander through the night like a ghost without fear of being seen or judged or held responsible for anything. It’s both cripplingly lonely and oddly comforting at the same time. It’s as if, in the dead of night, I finally have a place to belong. In this world of shadow and stillness I’m like a visitor from another time. The world has moved on. People are gone. And only I remain. Forgotten buildings, nothing more than silhouettes against starry skies, tower silently above me. The cracks across their crumbling exteriors could be wrinkles across giant faces – monuments of the people I once knew and will never know again.

Barefoot in Chilly Waters
I’ve been going camping at my parents mountain property my entire life. Possibly hundreds of times as a child. Many of which I have no memory of. My visits as a teenager, felt more like a punishment. As an adult I’ve made only a few trips there with my own family.

Simplicity
Spring had finally sprung after a long and cold winter. As the cherry blossom trees started to bloom the anticipation of spring is heightened. Spring, as with each season, not only brings a sense of renewal, it also brings such purity, freshness and beauty.

The Wattle Bird
The wattle bird perched precariously on the rusty, cobwebbed-covered handle of the ageing lawn roller. It twisted its head from side to side; surveying its surroundings with those dark, soulful eyes. The tiny white feathers upon its breast were suddenly ruffled by a soft, southerly breeze. Holding my breath, I raised my Nikon D810 to eye level; finding the shutter with my right index finger and readying myself to take the shot. But my movements were too quick and too sharp. The wattle bird was spooked, stretched it's wings, and flew away.
