One of my photos of the polar bears from last May was published on a photography site, 1x.com I was really excited to discover that yesterday afternoon. Just glancing through the work on the site and you can quickly see that there are some seriously talented photographers there. I was thrilled that one of my photos was recognized.
This particular photo was taken at the Pittsburgh Zoo in the polar bear tunnel. A tunnel runs under the pool where the polar bears swim and gives you a great view. I spent about 15-20 minutes taking pictures as this guy swam back and forth and this particular shot is my favorite.
It's funny, just the other day I was feeling a little down, my it's the let down of the holidays or the umpteenth day of snowy, cold weather. I don't know but lately I've been a little disappointed with my work and beginning to question my abilities. If you know me, you know that I always do this :-) Winter is the hardest time. Not seeing the sun not only brings my mood down but also makes it even more challenging to take good photographs. This little bit of recognition gave me just the boost that I needed.
Coming soon- a newborn session and 1 yr old pics so be watching!
