wow, what a great place this is. I've been visiting this site for quite some time and only today I noticed, there is also a forum! And even a vBulletin one, as I run one myself (on the football game hattrick.org though) I feel right at home.
My name is Gabriella and I'm 48 years old. I photographed as a hobby some twenty years ago and while living in the United States in the eightes I visited some courses in photography. Due to lack of time I had to give it up.
Well, now I have more time again and the urge to look at the world through a camera viewer has come back. I also find it a lot of fun to manipulate images in Photoshop, a wonderful tool I probably will never know in full. Whoever is interested in photoshop work might find it fun to have a look at my video on youtube:
Photoshop works
There you see before/after images with blendover.
I'm thrilled to have found this community. Looking forward to see your works and get your comments on my work. I urge for comments that are straight forward. If a piece of work is bad, I want to know it and also, why. Only that kind of comments will help me improve my work. Of course I also like comments like "great shot", "nice" and so on. But only, if it's deserved.
