Photo Contest

Fri Mar 13, 2009, 8:18 AM
I entered 4 photos into the Alibi's photo contest today! I hope I win!
Also went to the zoo again yesterday with my little sister. I really feel like I'm doing better every time I go there! I get shots that I would never have thought to try a year ago. I guess going there as often as I do really helps :)

Enjoy!

I love photography, and photo editing. I've recently realized that I would absolutely LOVE to be a National Geographic photographer. It combines just about everything I want out of life as a photographer. I would love to travel, and it would be wonderful to be able to vary between people, places and animals, while getting PAID to do it! And knowing that I am working would give me the extra boost of confidence to get right up in people's grills with no shame :)

Comments and critiques are always welcome and encouraged! I have been shooting since I can remember, but at the age of 12 I got my first REAL camera ( a Pentax ZX-30 SLR). I use a Canon Rebel XS now, but my early Flickr photos were taken with a Fuji FinePix S700. I also am hopelessly in love with Dynamic Photo (as opposed to Photomatix) and Photoshop CS4.
I find Dynamic Photo is much better at giving me more realistic results while still allowing me to create an extremely powerful, eye-catching HDR image. Photomatix tends to have trouble with certain subjects, especially people (skin), in my photos.

At the moment I shoot with my kit lens (18-55mm), a Canon 50mm, a Tokina 12-24mm wide angle, and a Sigma 70-300mm lens. I adore all of my lenses, but someday hope to upgrade my kit lens. I'm also looking to upgrade to an external flash.



Aside form photography, I am a local musician. I am in several bands in Albuquerque, along with my own solo project. Have a listen!

AND, I love to model. I mean, LOVE to. I am always interested in being someone's muse :)

Art is not an interupton. It's an inner eruption.

I know! I've been lurking and commenting here and there, but I think I've been sucked into the Flickr circle, lol. I hardly update here anymore. I just really love the level of attention and critique I get there. You should try it out!

The only reason why they're putting you down is so that you can move up again.
