This week’s Five at Five Intro features Photographer Cee Neuner. Cee’s About Page says:
The main focus of my blog is to have a safe place, a fun place, a creative place and hopefully build a community.
I am like a different person when I have a camera in my hand. My world slows down and I can actually stay in the moment and discover all the marvelous things around me.
Five at Five Questions
- When and how did you start on your photographic journey?
I first fell in love with photography when I took my first photograph on my mother’s Brownie camera. I just remember how good it felt in my hands and the photo I took I thought was perfect. I don’t have that photo now. But the feeling was what the memory is all about. I didn’t get serious about photography until 2010 or so. I never had the money for development of film. So when camera starting being made in the digital format, I was truly hooked.
- What subject do you like photographing the most?
Flowers of course. Second would be close ups of any kind. Then I guess it would be animals or candid photography. Since I don’t live in a big town, let alone city, I don’t get too many candid photos.
- Have you been influenced by other photographers, if so by whom and why? If not, who is your favourite photographer?
I learn from every photo I look at, whether on my blog, a magazine, book, etc. I study what I like or don’t like about a photo. And try to mimic what I learn. Many of my teachers have been and continue to be bloggers.
Chris and I will often stop a TV show and analyze the scene and discuss what we like or don’t like. We find people who won photo contests and do the same thing with the winning photos.
Do I have a favorite photographer, probably not. I know when I saw a show on Dorothea Lange, I felt connected to her in some ways.
- What is the go-to camera equipment that you use regularly and what software do you use to process your images?
My go to camera is my Sony A7III. It is a full frame mirrorless camera. My go to lens is Sony E-mount 18-200m lens. I’ve got other lenses I use depending on what I am photographing.
I use Adobe Bridge – Camera RAW for 99% of my editing. If I add text on a photo I do that in photoshop.
- What is your favourite method of processing an image? (i.e., colour, monochrome, saturated, dreamy look etc)
Basically most of my photos are in color. I like crystal clear sharpness most of the time. In some cases I do use bokeh depending on my lens and what I want the photo to come out. At times, I do like editing to black and white, when I photo will look good. I find many photo (flowers) don’t look good in black and white. Although there are some that are stunning.

I don’t know Cee personally; we’ve never met, but I have admired her flower photography for several years.

I smiled when I read that. I will pause a movie or TV show to offer up my critique of a scene that catches my eye. It drives my spouse, Bhavna, nuts.

I do that too… watching a film and piping in that’s a nice shot… wonder where that is? It drives him nuts too. 😀 😀 😀
