I am Ravi, live in Southern California. I've been interested in digital photography for about 3 years. I like to shoot pretty much everything.. landscape, auto, nature, macro. Havent tried much portrait yet..hopefully soon.

I have a little collection of pics i liked (ofcourse i shot them). check it out and give me some critic and comments.

Most of my knowledge is from numerous online tutorials and some forums. I intend to continue learning and enjoy photography.

Cheers!

Hello from Ottawa, Ontario, Canada!

I've always been interested in photography but never really had the 'spark' to take it up as a hobby. A couple of years ago, I bought my fiancee a Nikkormat FTN since she seemed to have more interest in taking photos than I.

That camera took some really nice photos and that must have triggered something in me. We bought a used Nikon D70 with a Tamron lens as a Christmas gift to each other last year. Since then, I seem to have adopted the hobby.

This year, my fiancee got me a Nikon lens that has a wider angle and I absolutely love it.

After learning about how post production works to enhance the photos, I've gotten into it deeper. Sometimes I feel that I'm spending too much time on the computer rather than out and about taking actual photos lol.

I look forward to participating in the assignments and learning a lot from everyone here!

Hi,
My name is Angela, I'm from Detroit and proud of it!
I've always had a passion for photography and now I'm finally pursuing that dream. I'm attending Wayne State University (in Detroit), full time, working towards a BFA in Photography.
When I found this website, I got excited when I noticed the assignment forums. I'm out of class for the summer and miss the in class discussions on photo's we took, so I'm looking forward to this site filling that void and keep me working on different things.
Glad to be hear! Thanks!

I live in Denver, Colorado. I've had a couple of digital point and shoots over the years. In February I went to Africa and because of weather patterns there was a last minute change of plans from climbing Kili to photo safari. I purchased an Olympus E500 for the trip. The shots turned out better than I would have thought, so now I have a new hobby.

Ravi Welcome to DPS! You have some nice pics of Yosemite. We'd love to see you post some of them here!

Praesentire Funny how the photography bug kind of sneaks up on you, isn't it? I see you're interested in post processing; nice job with the mushroom!

BiancaClaire Glad you decided to join us here. 415 in 5 hours? Your finger must be tired!

Photoplay7 You're getting a BFA in photography? I'm sure you'll really be able to add to our discussions! Glad to see you've posted some nice shots already.

Lyn Lots of us have not taken any formal photography classes. That's one of the reasons we're here. I'm sure you'll learn a lot if you stick with us!

Needhamp Africa? Lucky you. Hope you'll share some of your pics with us!

Thanks for the welcome Saralonde.

Well, I've just posted a bunch of photo's in different assignment threads, I hope it doesn't seem like too much at once, but it's sometimes difficult to find the time to sit down, sort everything out and post - I'm a single mom of two, so you or other's may be able to relate!

Anyhow, thanks again for the welcome acknowledgement

I'm Ilva, I'm Swedish and live in Tuscany in Italy since 1994. I have been taking photos on and off my whole life but the last two years has been incredibly full of photos, my own and others. I photograph a lot of food for my food blog Lucullian Delights but I take even more photos of what I see around me. DPS is a great place to learn more and I have finally registered to this forum to learn even more!

Just registered today. My name is Julia and I'm from Connecticut. I've been interested in photography for the past few years. Just upgraded to a Canon Rebel XT Digital a couple of weeks ago. I'm in love with the camera. I'm here to try and learn how improve my picture taking. I've used a Canon Rebel 35mm and a Kodak p&s digital. Looking forward to contributing to the forum.
