Hi every one
I'm Debbie from Sale,Victoria in Australia.
I have been interested in photography for as long as I can remember.
Photograghy is a hobby that consumes me with varing degrees depending on where my life is at the time..
I had taken some beautiful shots that I am very proud of . I have taken a few really nice ones at weddings and for a while now am have been the photographer for our local Rock n Roll club the "Lakeside Rockers" on a voluntary basis..
I have taken lots of photos of my friends at dance competitions and also just having fun.
I am having trouble with white balance in some dance halls so have to perfect this..
I love editing photos and am still very new at learning photoshop. I use a much simpler program at the moment that just does the basic- crops, red eye, clone etc
I have a Canon EOS400D. The two lenses I use are a Canon EFS 17-55mm and Canon 70-300 mm. My flash is a 430EX speedlite.
I love portraits particularly closeups and catching people on the spur of the moment.
I love black and white and also like the technique of adding a splash of color back into the shot( still learning how to do this too
I love Macro but haven't tried that yet.
That's on my list as well.
I am fascinated with the trend at the moment called "Trash the Dress" that explores the bride and groom doing a second photo shoot in much more relaxed manner; days or weeks after the formal wedding. Photos are taken at the beach, under, in water, in forests, in caves,on horseback, in junk yards, climbing under a bridge... You get the idea... It's truly fascinating. Some ruin the dress but mostly they don't; it just a very relaxed and free medium.
I am very much still at the beginning of my learning curve and look forward being part of this forum.
