The Joy Of Instagram
Before the dawn of Smartphones and apps like Instagram, we photographers always liked to carry a camera with us for a high percentage of the time, be it your SLR camera or a compact of some description.
The reason was simple. You never know what you would come across during your day and you certainly would not want to miss out on that ‘photographic opportunity.’ In practice though we did not always take a camera with us.
For a fair while now we have had the phones and the apps with us and their usefulness increases each year.
One of my favourite apps is now Instagram. Whilst the images cannot be enlarged all that much I am taking more and images this way. I still use my DSLR for my business and serious personal projects however when I don’t have my DSLR with me I enjoy pulling out the camera and taking shots of images that impress me as I go about my daily routines.
I have included a few here however please feel free to check out my Instagram page.
If you don’t have an Instagram page as yet, consider having one. I feel it helps me continue to ‘train my eye’ on a daily basis and it’s a lot of fun too!

Welcome!
Hi, I’m David Johnson and I have a passion for expressing myself creatively.
I love to observe the world and then, love to endeavour to communicate what I see via mediums I find fun!
Welcome to my NEW Blog!
In 2013 I started 2 Blogs on WordPress:
lightinspired.wordpress.com – Photography
observationswritings.wordpress.com – Poetry/Writing
Photography: Started in 1982
Public Speaking: Started in 2008
Oil Painting: Started in 2012
Poetry: Started in 2013 & have written 130 poems
Writing: Started in 2013
Photography has been the dominate interest for a long time in my life however the other interests have been ‘gaining ground’ over the past few years, and in some cases are now combining.
Seeing that the interests are all ‘communicative’ ones I thought I would combine them into one page, rather than have 3-4 individual blogs.
Some brief notes on my background…

A member since 1986 & currently a (founding – 2004) member of Southern Highlands Photographic Society.

Some of the content from my previous blogs will make it to this new blog however it is my main aim to have new content on ‘Communicating Creatively.’
I hope you enjoy my latest foray into blogging! 🙂
