Hi! I am relatively new to Photography and it has become a creative output for me. I am seeing everything differently and noticing things I have never really seen before. Photography is keeping me active and alert as well as bringing out the creative side of me that I did not know existed. I am retired (early) and love that my life is heading towards a totally different career outside the office atmosphere.
At the moment I am using a Nikon Coolpix 8800 8MP digital camera and hopefully in 2007, I will be purchasing a new Nikon D80. I love to take close-up and macro shots as they are my specialty, but do try to shoot all different forms of photography. I am totally self-taught in both digital photography and photoshop with lots of help (when asked for) from my new found friends in the photography business.
My images had won several 1st, 2nd, 3rd and Honorable Mentions in many contests, the most recent being chosen for a Calendar. 18 photos were required for this calendar and I was one of the 18 chosen out of 3,000 photos entered by photogrphers of various experiences.
I truly love this newly found passion of mine which will last as long as my eyesight is good, I just wish I had discovered photography many years ago, when I was younger. Thank you! |
