Hi, my name is Angella. I am Leona's daughter. I've been doing some photography with mom and she talked me into posting a couple photos. I do not know anything about my camera, I just point and shoot with a Nikon D40. BUT mom plans on making me learn this stuff.

Hi Angella - welcome to DPS! These look great. I particularly like number 2 in the sequence - the composition is really nice and you've captured the detail on the petals very well. Don't worry about going "fully automatic" with your camera - most of the challenge with this game is to get the composition right anyway. The D40 is great camera (my wife has one and loves it) and I'm sure you'll be playing with the other modes before you know it. Looking forward to seeing more of your work.

regards,
Martin.

Welcome to DPS Angella, your Mom is a capable instructor I'm sure. Your images are all outstanding. I love the detail in #2 and the colors of #3 are really nice. Welcome and I'm looking forward to seeing more images of yours.

Welcome to DPS Angella; I heard it said many times, It's not the Camera, It's the Photographer and Your pictures reflect this. I love the colors in the last one; very vivid and your Orchid is beautiful. Looking forward to seeing more of your captures; Don't be too hard on your Mother; remember Knowledge is Freedom!!!
Thanks for Sharing these
Chewys Dad.
