I enjoy amateur photography very much. I consider myself a
"serious novice" with lots to learn. I think seeing other people's photos can be a great learning tool by studying angles of shots, colors, and subject matter, and hope it will help me to further develope (no pun intended) my own style. I feel that "picturesocial" will be another asset to that end.
I started playing with photography many years ago using my brother's dark room and equipment. I did a fair amount of black and white film & print processing. I then started shooting a lot of slides and learned a great deal from entering local photo contests. Through practice, I won several ribbons and caught the "photo bug" with no cure in sight. I learn something new all of the time and find that I still make careless or stupid mistakes.
Although the basics are the same, digital has been a new ball game for me, as I am sure for most people. Not so much the camera or shooting, but in the editing and storing.
While I like being able to make minor adjustments to a photo with software, I don't care for "over-doing" it. My personal opinion is that too much "adjusting and enhancing" (photoshop) takes away from the art of getting a good shot with the camera by itself.
As mentioned above, I am here to learn, and expect my photos to be critiqued. Negative criticism is readily accepted as long as it is constructive. Thank you.
I am happy you like some of my pictures. Welcome to Malaysia whenever you decide to make the visit. Lots of opportunities for photographers.
Thanks Terry
