Default New to photography!
I've recently bought a Canon 500D and have been experimenting with what I've learned on DPS. I'm having so much fun! Thank you.

Oh jennie too kind! Really, I've only had the camera a few short weeks, before that a point & shoot I never took off Auto! All credit has to go to DPS for teaching me how!

I don't know how new you are to photography but if these are your first shots you have the most natural talent I have ever seen. Beautiful photos, welcome to DPS. I hope to see more of your work.
