  "Teddy Has a passion for photography, nature, and conservation. howto.digitalchoc... has a write up on her philosophy. Not only does Teddy take great photos, she is a good friend to many area naturalists (Morro Bay, CA, SLO)... "Teddy Llovet found a passion for nature photography while recovering from a disability five years ago. Eager to share the views through her lens, Teddy began showing in local galleries, the Morro Bay Museum of Natural History, and in her own show in 2003 honoring the birds and beauty of our local area. Teddy exclaims, "I'm so lucky to live here! After completing beginning and intermediate photography at Cuesta College in the fall of 2000, I was ready to purchase my Canon Rebel 35mm SLR film camera with a wide angle lens. My love of birds prompted me to invest in Canon’s 75-300 image stabilizer (IS) telephoto lens for action shots. I wanted to move freely without bulk of equipment and be ready for the flight. The IS lens gives me that handheld capability. I eventually acquired a tripod and shutter release cable, but my IS telephoto is my ready companion. In March 2005, I took the leap of faith into digital photography with Canon’s Digital Rebel, bringing my IS telephoto lens along with it. Now it’s just more fun than ever and I use my sports mode freely. My iMac computer with Adobe Photoshop 7.0 extends my enjoyment with the creation of brochures and cards for friends. I have never digitally altered a picture that I offered for sale. I appreciate the natural setting around these beautiful birds. In the future, I may erase a twig that bothers the eye but, mostly, I want to continue to bring forth what nature sets before me. My gifts have been an eye for composition and the patience to spend hours in the field. I once waited on bended knee for 20 minutes to photograph an approaching fishing Great Egret. My daughter chose that image for her Christmas Peace card in 2001. When I have more available time, I’ll take a digital photography and Photoshop course and study the techniques I need to understand more about. For now, I treasure the time I can just be out there waiting for another special moment and there are many. Here is one of my special moments, taken near Morro Rock in 2005 of my favorite bird, entitled Great Blue Heron." You can contact Teddy Llovet at bluheron at earthlink dot net.""
