Snapshot

Digital Photography, what’s it all about
Point and shoot, zoom in, zoom out,
Capturing moments frozen in time,
That perfect shot, oh how sublime.

Shots of people, family and friends,
Posing and smiling into the lens
Share on Facebook or even Tweet
Instant viewing to save or delete

Be prepared, any time or place,
Spare batteries handy, just in case
Countryside view, or by the sea,
Views that cry out ‘capture me’

Auto focus, WiFi ready
Selfie set up, keep hands steady
Multi shot and auto modes
Memory card for full downloads

Menu editing on camera or phone
Edit, crop or colour tone
Photos taken by the score
Never satisfied, always want one more

Albums created, pics filed away,
Memories relived another day
iCloud, Facebook, Dropbox or Flickr
Click to open, what could be quicker

Age restrictions don’t apply
Young or old, give it a try
Anyone can take a pic
Capture life with just one click

A casual hobby, amateur or pro
Be inspired to have a go
Let your creative juices run
Photography, well, it’s just good fun

About the author

Kes

I love to write the odd poem when inspired by some event or happening in my own life or that of my family and friends. I usually just write poems for my own pleasure, but I have enjoyed sharing a few of my efforts on Silversurfers and have received some wonderful comments from the community. I enjoy watching Rugby Union. I call myself a 'Hobby Colourist' and enjoy the work of the inky black and white artist Johanna Basford, and I also dabble in photography, in a very amature pastime kind of way.
