The First Photo I Was Ever Proud Of

Thursday, 25th March 2010

Written by:

This is the first picture that I took that I was ever really proud of.

This is the Portland Head Light in Cape Elizabeth, Maine. I had just gotten my very first digital SLR, specifically for the trip to Maine that we took that year. I remember clearly that on that day I was determined to master the manual mode of my camera, and my newfound understanding of shutter speed and aperture. I recall being quite pleased at myself for getting the exposure just right, and proud of how the shot was composed. This is the first photograph of my own that I ever considered framing and hanging in my house.

Do you have a specific photograph in mind, that you recall being among the first that you were ever really proud of? We would love to share in your experience! Please post a photo or photo link in the comments and tell us all about it!

    This image is my favorite.
    I took it shortly after my parents died and I think it represents my feelings at that time.

    This is my one: http://www.flickr.com/photos/andrewterry/132332… – like yours, Tiffany, taken in New England.

    I was waiting for a ferry back to the mainland when this image jumped out at me, and my first thought was, “Rats; I wish had a 'proper' camera with me..!”.

    Further proof – if any were needed – that the best camera is the one you have with you!

    I took this with my point and shoot, and it was the first photo that gave me that longing to take more:

    This was my first “beautiful” photo : http://www.flickr.com/photos/riddim74/4462632304/
    It also was the first that I framed and hanged on a wall !

    This is probably my first real success. It's hanging on the wall in my office right now, slightly sepia-toned. (And thanks for the PS help, Tiff!)

    Happy to help! PS doesn't do much unless the photo's pretty great to begin with, after all!

    Ahh, I can smell the salty air! This one makes me homesick for sure. Thanks for sharing, Andrew!

    Neat composition, Lucy! Like Andrew said, the best camera is the one you have with you!
