Myd's Photo Gallery

Welcome to my photo gallery. Some of these photos are old high school photography assignments, some are from my trips overseas, and still others are just photos I've taken for fun or because I wanted to capture certain moments. I'll do my best to organize them into some semblance of order for you. Enjoy!

Animals

Okay, that's all for now! I know, it's a ton of photos, isn't it? Well, you should have seen how many are on my hard drive! I chose some of my favorites to post. Well, go ahead and tell me what you think or leave advice. I'd love to hear your thoughts on these photos.

Oh my god. I'm just in awe Myd. Speechless. These are so so beautiful!

:crying: :crying: :crying: SO BEAUTIFUL!!

Wow these are so amazing! I love them so much!!!! <3 <3 <3

Oh gosh, no need to sob over it, Kemi, haha! And thanks, everyone, for the compliments! Photography is something I really enjoy, and something I have a natural talent for. I took it for two years in high school and learned so many things. I wish I could do it for a career sometimes, but the industry is incredibly hard to break into :/ Of course, the photo quality is also due to the fact that I have a really good camera. By the way, if you're interested, I use a Canon Rebel XT for most of my photos. A few of these were taken on my phone, but not many.

Oh wow! I took photography in high school for a year, but I wasn't all that great. I am so jealous you have a Canon Rebel. I have been wanting one since I took my photography class.

Gosh mydy these are so beAUTIFUL!! I really love your animal ones and daaaaaaaaang! Now I need to consider a camera like that... ;w;

Thanks for the compliments! I actually got really lucky to get my Canon. My brother was on the yearbook crew for a couple years and got the Canon so he could get good-quality pictures, especially of the sports teams. When I got into high school and started photography, he wasn't doing yearbook anymore, so he gave the camera to me. One of the best gifts ever! It really makes a world of difference, and my teacher had pretty much the exact same camera, so she was able to teach me tons of things about it.

AAAAHHHHH I just looked at these now! Myd, they are so beautiful! You've really got a lot of talent for that! Also you're so lucky to get to travel like that!
