Kay Williams

Kay Williams is the Pocono Photo Club Photographer of the Month!

How long have you been taking pictures?

I started taking pictures after my children were born and was always the one who took the pictures at all family gatherings, but I didn’t get serious about photography until about 10 years ago!

What camera/lenses do you use?

My camera equipment is as follows:

Cameras:
     • Nikon D90
     • Nikon D7100
     • Olympus E-M10 Mark III

Lenses:
     • Nikkor Micro 85mm
     • Nikkor 18-300mm
     • Olympus 75-300mm
     • Olympus 14-42mm

What is your favorite genre and subject matter?

I love macro photography because I find it fascinating to see flowers and insects up close. I also love taking pictures in nature and especially love wildlife photography. Nothing relaxes me more than taking a walk in the woods or by a lake or river with my camera! I very much enjoy post processing, adding textures to my photos and digital art.

Is there anything else that you would like to share?

I learned a little bit at a time with the help of many excellent photographers that I met over the years who inspired me with their knowledge and creativity and were kind enough to give me advice. Photography is not only a hobby, but a way of life. I rarely go anywhere without my camera and look at everything I see as a potential photo! I don’t travel a lot so I try to challenge myself to find new ways to photograph familiar places.
