Life as a nature photographer

What have I got myself into to be honest.. I love taking pictures but risking my life just to get few pictures.. Is it worth it? Maybe. Depends on situation. but to be honest, no.

When I went to my location to take these photos (below), I slipped and fell on big rocks. I managed to stop before hitting the big big rocks and water luckily. But I got hurt really bad and today I feel like a train has run over me.

WARNING; BLOOD AND WOUND

I really didn’t even notice that I was bleeding until I by accident saw it when I was fixing settings on my camera. After I saw it I felt the pain . Not before. How crazy is that? Thank God I was surrounded with snow so I could make it stop bleeding fast.

Today; I can move my finger but it hurts really bad. The wound is pretty deep and big.

Was it worth though? No. For me it wasn’t. The pictures didn’t turn out how I pictured them in my head but it is alright. I had a tiny adventure.

One thing I often ask myself, Am I a nature photographer or just a person trying really hard? What is really the answer? For me  yes iam one but for professional photographers etc I would just be this “girl with a camera trying hard”.

My dream is to become a good photographer. Having the right equipment so I could be able to travel the world and take stunning pictures. A girl can dream right?

National Geographic Magazine.  Now that would be an achievement of life time. Unfortunately I know that would never happen but I have a goal and that keep me moving forward.

Hopefully in future I’ll be able to take other pictures without risking to fall, slip and hurt myself. Lol!
