</style> </div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;">Hi, my name is Susan Mawby and I am the owner of <a href="https://www.facebook.com/#%21/pages/SMARTin-Photography/181348068570351">SMARTin Photography</a>. I became interested in photography when I was given my first camera at the age of seven. Years passed and technology moved on, and today I am the proud owner of a Canon 500D. I LOVE IT. I have recently completed a diploma in Photography, which I found to be extremely informative, as I thought that I knew a lot about photography. I could not have been more wrong. I have learned so much about the technology of photography, whereas before I was just a point and shoot kind of girl. I am now obsessed with photography. My main interest in photography is portraiture, followed very closely by nature. As I see it, to take a picture is to capture a memory or a moment of beauty, that will last forever. I take every day as it comes, every day I learn something new, and every day I have my camera with me to capture some of those special moments in time.</div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;"><br />

<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman";">I have always appreciated a good photo or painting, and over the past few years I have taken a very keen interest in photography. I enjoy country walks with some soft music and nothing more than my camera (and a Lowpro slingshot bag with lenses and filters in). I have a professional standard and have done several studio shoots. I like to capture those incomparable moments, whether they are relaxed, posed shots or off-the-cuff, candid ones, as well as landscape and nature shots. I would say I’m a “all around” photographer.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman";"><br />
So when did I start to enjoy nature? Well I guess it was when I was very young, but not in the way one would think. I can remember when I was about 5 years old rolling around on the mud covered floor pretending to shoot my brother, using the mud from the ground to cover our faces so we were camouflaged so we blended in better. All nature was, at such a young age, was a straight branch as a M-16 assault rifle followed my noises off, “da-da-da-da-da” as he fell to the floor and played dead, and a few rocks as hand grenades. Those were the days!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman";"><br />
Later on, but still in my younger years (though now I’m all grown up at 35) I would say about 11 or 12, I was a member of the scouts. This was a whole different look at nature. Yes, we did long mountain walks and learnt how to read a map and use a compass. However, I am sad to say that the fun bits were the gutting and cooking of rabbits and pigeons. Also we would use those perfectly good “M-16” branches to make an A frame for a make shift house called a bivouac. This is a frame covered in moss and leaves to make it water proof. If you made them right they were quite warm and cozy.<br />
As I got a bit older again my outlook on nature changed, as a hang out and a quiet place to meet my girlfriend (moving on).</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman";"><br />
Like I said I now look at nature in wonder and see how I can make a beautiful sky look its best through the view finder on my camera and capture that image forever. If this is because I am getting too old to be rolling around the floor covered in mud, then I’ll take it.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman";"><br />
I still get very “Chimpy” when I see a great picture opportunity – “oh oh oh ah ah ah” – and when I start “Chimping”, a smile comes to my face, and that is what photography should be about, making smiles whether that be your own or your subjects!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman";"><br />
As Albert Einstein said “True art is characterized by an irresistible urge in the creative artist“. </span><br />

</div><div style="text-align: center;">My Craft Closet Was Overloaded and I Had Nothing to Show For It…</div><br />
<div style="text-align: left;"> Hi, my name is Sheryl and I’m a craft hoarder….I don’t really hoard crafts, I hoard items to<br />
make crafts; paints, brushes, wooden birdhouses, sparkles, colored pencils, stamps, etc….you<br />
get the picture. Anyway, I’m sure you are wondering what this all has to do with a Nature<br />
Blog….well hear me out…</div><div style="text-align: left;"><br />
I come from a creative and talented family…my grandfather was a sign maker and artist, my<br />
great aunt published children’s books, my grandmother wrote poetry, my cousin is a<br />
scratchboard artist and my brother is good at art and also is a kick-ass drummer. I have always<br />
dabbled in some kind of art and craft, but never was what you would call an artist, I would<br />
make not one item, but 25 for my whole family and then I’d get bored. Prior to my getting into<br />
photography I really got into gardening…I thought this was my niche and I was quite good<br />
with all the neighbors envying my latest project. Well then after using up all available lawn, I<br />
ended up with carpel tunnel in both wrists and decided to have surgery on both at the same<br />
time. Needless to say, the weeds crept in and I got discouraged.</div><div style="text-align: left;"><br />

I had been taking lovely pictures of my garden with my point and shoot and everyone ooh’ed<br />
and ahhh’ed. I enjoyed taking photos and would look at other photographer’s websites and<br />
wondered “how they did that”. I then bought a camera that was better than a point and shoot<br />
but still had limitations. But this camera allowed me to take closer ups better than I imagined.<br />
I got hooked on bugs, my bird feeders, baby birds, squirrels and butterflies. I also had been<br />
practicing editing the photos using different kinds of photo software to make photos look more<br />
“art-like”. OK, I am so hooked!<br />

After people kept telling me I should sell my photos I got myself a new camera. My next and<br />
current camera is a Canon Rebel T2i with a couple of lens I love. WOW is all I can say…the<br />
Bokeh that I can create is hands down the number one reason I wanted a better camera. The<br />
art you can create with a decent lens had my world rocking! I want to get better at my craft and<br />
I already know what lenses I am saving for.<br />

Being a photographer is a dangerous profession, once your eyes are opened and your<br />
juices are flowing. I don’t know how many times I drive down the road and see something that<br />
I have to pull over for to shoot. I know other drivers were cursing me a blue streak….but I didn’t<br />
care….I found the perfect shot and I had to get it. I have gone thru stages of stopping for<br />
barns, cows, horses, sunsets on a wheat field, boats on the water. Not long ago, I discovered I<br />
was pretty decent at taking pictures of humans, even baby ones and that is where I am<br />
today….even though I still take the nature ones, the nurture ones are where I’m at.<br />

<br />
<span style="font-size: x-small;">When I first began using a DSLR I found it really daunting to know where to start capturing inspiring images, I mainly wanted to capture memories of my two young children.</span></div><div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;"><br />
</div><div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;"><span style="font-size: x-small;">Whilst out taking photographs in the park, I noticed a beautiful patch of daffodil shoots. I was so excited when I took the picture, when I got home and uploaded I thought... rubbish!!! I have always loved anything pleasing to the eye, and from that one image on I have strived to capture the beauty you see from a subject on a photograph, to share the wonders that can often be taken for-granted. And so began my photographic journey with nature!</span></div><div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;"><br />
</div><div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;"><span style="font-size: x-small;">Composition is the key! In the early days I used to snap hundreds of photo's in the hope of getting something new and exciting. Today I compose my image and take the time to think about the photograph before I open the shutter. I see the image I want to capture before it has even been taken, be it vibrant, monochrome, over or under exposed. I see my subject, then see the way in which I want to portray it to the viewer and go for it! I have had some very strange looks from people seeing me on my knees, or lying on the ground pointing my DSLR at a subject!</span></div><div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;"><br />
</div><div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;"><span style="font-size: x-small;">Nature offers such a fantastic array of subjects well worth capturing. If you see something beautiful, think about how to really make the subject stand out in the photograph and make the viewer see the subject just as you saw it. Do all you can to achieve it, you may get a few strange looks, and a few muddy knee marks, but the results are so worthwhile!</span></div><div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;"><br />

<br />
So, as promised I am going to begin my spotlight artist series! So to explain... I started out doing Nature photos in photography. However, now that I am booking a different series of shoots I don't have the time to go out anymore! So, I decided to ask a few great artist to help me out. Each month they will be shown with a blog post they wrote, pictures they took, and exposure they deserve! So, please remember to check back August 1st, 2011 to see our first artist!<br />

<br />
I am looking to find some new Nature places to take photos. I have looked online for Gardens but found the best way to find new and exciting places is to ask those who know!<br />
<br />
I have been to the Vienna Botanical Gardens. Could any of you suggest a place in and around DC area? I would love to go on a road trip to a few of them in the next coming weeks! Could you help me out?<br />
<br />
Thanks!<br />

<br />
Welcome to the Nature blog. While this one won't be updated as often as the rest. This is one special to my heart as I love Nature, and it's where it all began before. I learned how to use my camera just playing around taking nature pictures... Here are some of my first shots!<br />
