Since photography is an art, individuals with sharp observation skills can become excellent photographers. When I travel, I always have my professional camera with me since I adore taking images. I enjoy taking pictures of my family's big occasions and activities. It's like recording each unique movement for the future.

When did you take this photo:

Here, I would like to talk about an occasion when I was traveling in the hills and saw an amazing sunset. So, I made the decision to take some photos for my nature album. It was dusk, and the sun was setting, which gave the image a beautiful and stunning appearance. Nature's colors could be clearly seen.

Where did you take it:

After tracking across the mountains, I took this picture as I was relaxing in my tent. I made the decision to take a break, get some fresh air, and look at the scenery because I was so exhausted. It was fantastic. Nature was at its best everywhere. I was thinking that today nature gave me the best shots that I had never clicked before in my life.

What is the photo about:

The sun was setting behind the mountains when the picture was taken, and that's what gave the scene its natural shade. The mountains appeared to be hiding out the sun, which gave the scene a very realistic appearance. The hills and trees added natural beauty to the setting. My eyes found the combination of orange and golden colors attractive.

Why do you feel proud of the photo:

I'm genuinely very proud of this picture. It ranks among the worst photos I've ever taken. I frequently enter photography contests, and recently this image of mine won first place and was featured in a foreign publication. I've received so much praise and admiration from others because of this picture.

So, all in all, that is a photo that I am proud of.

The best way to remember every special event is to take pictures because they trigger memories later on. I want to talk about a picture right now since it makes me proud. I still vividly recall the event that was planned in our school a few months ago on the eve of the new year. Lights, balloons, and original artwork were used to decorate each class. The school appeared to be a haven for shoppers.

One of the images of my friends was really lovely. That picture is still in my collection, and I have it hanging in my bedroom. Everyone in the photo, including my closest friends, is laughing; no one is showing any sign of sadness.

Follow-up Questions

Here are some examples of follow-up questions that the examiner can ask you during your speaking part 3 related to the cue card: "Describe a photo that you are proud of."

1. Why do some people like to use photographs to document important things?

I believe one of the best methods to preserve memories of the past is through photography. When we look at pictures, we can't help but think back on the people and things that were around at the time. Additionally, pictures are among the best ways to communicate our experiences to others. The phrase "a picture is worth a thousand words" is true.

2. What can one learn from photographs taken throughout history?

People can mostly learn about our ancestors' achievements and failures from images. Photographs are living proof of human creativity and advancement, but they also reveal where and how we failed. For instance, images of once-rich forests in places now occupied by tall buildings demonstrate our architectural achievement while also demonstrating how we sacrificed our environment to do so.

Historical images include a wealth of information that can be learned. We may learn about the history, what occurred in the past, and how things operated and worked back then. It can also provide us with a fundamental understanding of how people used to see history and the past. People can also learn how to advance in life and what adjustments they should make.

3. Are photographs the best way to remember something?

I used to subscribe to that viewpoint. I did just read an article about how much better fragrances are at helping us recall things. In fact, this is the reason why historical storytellers employed incense sticks and spice bowls when telling their tales.

The best method to recall something from the past is, indeed, through images. There are other ways to learn about our past besides them. Although there are many other items that individuals might save for the future, including video recordings, letters, and many others, saving photographs is always a simple and practical choice.

4. Which is better, taking photos or keeping a diary?

While each has value in its own right, fewer individuals today keep diaries. In comparison to keeping a diary, taking photos is more convenient because they are instant and easy to swipe through.
