More Inspiring Photography Moments

I'm wrapping up yet another work week, and this one was definitely long and tiring. A nice way to start my day is to think about other moments over the years which inspired me. Here are a few more that come to mind:

1) The first time I photographed in twilight:



This was, as you can see, back in 2007. I had only taken a point-and-shoot on this trip. I was walking around with my family and thought the setting was really pretty. Many people don't like this hotel, but I did. Of course, now I know how to take better pictures of buildings!

2) How waking up early really does pay off:



I don't normally like waking up early, frankly, but this was worth it. I love the beach!

3) The first time I realized that stunning pictures were within my reach:



A picture like this really inspires me to keep trying. It also encourages me to keep scrutinizing my work and striving to improve. Earlier this year, I went to another place of worship with a dome, the National Shrine, and took this:



A big improvement, if you ask me. And that in itself is inspiring - the fact that I really am improving and loving what I do.

And, on that note, have a great weekend!
