Your Name: Deborah (Debby) Cole
Type of Camera: Nikon D7100
What do you love to photograph the most? I have married my love of the out of doors with my photography all of my life. If I could travel somewhere, hike to an out of the way spot and then capture it with my camera (no matter what the equipment!) I was in heaven. This is still true today. I am in my “happy place” when I have my hiking boots on, a backpack with lenses and tripod and my trusty Nikon!
What is one thing you have learned that has improved your photography? What I have learned: to be open to new techniques. By listening and watching the pros I pick up not only the BIG ideas, but also the little tips and tricks. Photography is a talent/skill where you never stop learning and experimenting. I have also learned not to be stingy with my shots. This is NOT FILM!
Advice you’d give to others wanting to grow in their photography skills: My advice to others is to travel, travel, travel with the pros. Or to take classes and workshops with the pros. Also, follow the pros on instagram or facebook and look at what they shoot. Then, practice, practice, practice. Shoot, shoot, shoot. R&D (rob and duplicate) is OK. Then listen to your own inner creativity which we all have!
