My Bio
Although I consider myself an artist in other mediums... I am a dead beginner at photography and am just learning how to use a manual camera. The photos in this gallery are my first attempt. I am thirsty for any advice or knowledge that anyone would like to share with me!

Thanks natureguy! I am just now trying to navigate this site and maybe/hopefully put some pics up! I still have no idea how to use my new camera.However, I'm catching on little by little. It's very difficult for me. As a painter,I see in my mind what I want to create. Making the camera do what I want it to...a totally different matter.At this point in time,I am basically a point and shooter. I'm hoping to change that! I have been trying to research little by little and I still don't have any idea or concept of anything technical with the camera,lighting,exposure...etc etc. lol! I have a lot of learning to do!
Now, see you're so lucky!... I have always wanted to paint, but can't even do a fair water color or crayon work. So I have taken the camera and made it be my outlet of expression, and inner creation! I can use the camera as an extension of my mind so to speak and bring to life the images that I have always wanted to paint!
With you being a painter, well the possibilities of excelling in this field should be easy, once you master the camera and light!
One big point I can tell you right now is always try to shoot with a tripod... nothing can kill a great shot more than camera shake or movement. You want the image to be crystal sharp! Composition will be easy for you with a painters "Eye". and shoot lots of pics,it's digital, you can always delete them, but you will also learn from these bad shots as to what was done wrong!

Yes! I have been dealing with the camera shake and I have had to take a million shots just to get one half decent. Unfortunately,light is hard for me to understand in technical terms...Machines are a difficult concept for me. LOL!...I am wondering if there will just be some shots I won't be able to get because of the angle of the light etc? Or will that change as I learn how to use the camera settings?
