"Take your camera everywhere" shots

[vandergus]

There's been some talk around DPS lately about the idea of "Taking your camera everywhere", something I personally am trying to do more of. I thought it would be fun to start a thread sharing the fruits of this practice. In other words, come post your favorite shots that were made possible by having your camera with you for no good reason. For some people, this might be how they get most of their photos. For others, there may just be a few gems. I think it would be a good way to encourage people to start bringing there camera along to more than just sporting events and birthdays.

To get us started, here's a shot from my drive to work this morning. We've been getting lots of snow lately (and lots of clouds) and it was refreshing to see the sun light up the early morning hours. The clouds showed with pale pastel colors (not quite captured in the photo) that were quietly beautiful.



There, a nice easy photo so no one will be intimidated to post

To keep things on an easy note, some of my fav pictures from taking my camera everywhere are ones that make me laugh. Like the speaking garbage can:



Or the drum / guitar playing chickens in the airport:

I am sooo glad I took the challenge to "take my camera everywhere." You never know what you'll see through your lens!! I loved what I saw! I love this time of night! Can't wait to see what you see through yours![IMG]wylie_coyote_6@sbcglobal.net, on Flickr">[/IMG]

I take my camera everywhere I go, and that's how I caught this pic of my grandson taking the long road, lol...
By the way this is a great idea to inspire others to take there camera everywhere!

I sometimes have to make a conscious choise NOT to take my camera with me when I go out, because otherwise I see opportunities everywhere...



These 'pallets' (not sure if that's the right word) were on the back of an old ute (truck) in one of the oldest areas of Sydney called 'The Rocks'

Hope u like it.

I think this photo is really neat. My husband's Grandfather used to work in a gyp mine. BTW did you know that sheet rock is made from GYP. I didn't.

This is an older shot of mine. I only got it because I always took my camera with me whenever me and my father would go on walks. We used to walk by these tracks every evening. This time for some reason the sun was just right and it set them ablaze.

I had been for a run along our waterfront and at the halfway point we saw this eagle on a lamp standard....I prayed that when we had run the 2.5km back and had a quick coffee he would still be there. I had my camera in the car and drove back and got this shot.....

Keep on shooting....

I took the picture above when I took dinner with my friends at local coffee and cake cafe. We sit on the balcony and we got a good view down below. Taking your camera anywhere is just a great idea!
