Vie Lipowski's photostream
|
Photography is a good way to learn patience, especially if you are taking nature photos. My passion is photographing insects, shooting them extremely challenging and thrilling.
I love using strong and rich colours in my photos.
None of my photos were taken at a Zoo or Butterfly Garden or Botanical Garden, they are all from my backyard, neighbours' yards and the park, except the farm animals and my pets.
I shoot in natural light and never use a flash.
My first digital camera my husband bought me in 1999 was Sony Mavica FD7. And I still have it. The camera is large and blocky. For analog SLR, I used to shoot with Zenit and Canon. I don't use them anymore.
My cameras:
Pentax *ist DS
Pentax K20D
Pentax K-5
My lenses:
Pentax DA 18-55mm
Pentax DA 50-200mm
Pentax DA 55-300mm
And
Dreaming to get a Sigma OS 50-500mm... LOL...

"I have to say that Vie is the master of rounding up ladybugs and snails.
I really think her beauty attracts more than just men who would love to be near her. But she has a passion for bringing out the most wonderful images and knows how to use natural light better than most.
She is always sweet and encouraging in her comments.
Any one who gets to know her will never have a bad thing to say or will ever be displeased with her artwork.
I am truly blessed to have met her and continue to appreciate having her as one of my valued flickr friends.
May the light always shine on you and you keep that beautiful smile for me and everyone you care for.
Love you my friend. Forever!"4th June, 2009
