What do you mean by other subjects? The thing is, Nature and hiking are my passion in life. I also love animals, and want to take pictures of animals I find in the wild. However I want to make my shots count, which is why I use Ollie as a subject to practice on. I don't want to screw up the once in a decade opportunities I may have to photograph a Lion, Coyote, wolf, bear, and so on I encounter in the wild.
I am learning photography as a means to take memorable pictures, not to make an art. I don't want to simply make snapshots, I want to create pictures of nature and wild scenes that I can look at fondly and appreciate the beauty. None of my pictures, to me, ever came close to what I actually see with my eyes, but I've seen many photographers take pictures that when I see it, I feel that I've found a new beauty in what my eyes cannot see.
That's what I'm trying to achieve. I don't do street photography, nor do I do portraits. I have absolutely no interest in those, unless by the off chance they might help my nature photography.
So if you can give me ideas of what I can practice on, I'd appreciate it. The advice so far has been fantastic and I hear all of it and will attempt to implement it for future use.
But for the most part I'm just going to keep doing what I do, take as many photos I can, learn how I can improve them, and just gain experience. I posted here hoping someone would see something I've never noticed before, and I got that.
