Profile Information
- About Me and My Photography Experience:
- I have been shooting for almost a year now. I got into photography in May 2010. I like shooting macro, wildlife and people but my favorite is landscape. My favorite photographer right now is Art Wolfe and then probably Peter Lik. I like Art Wolfe because he has mastered pretty much all genres of photography and has been able to create a business from doing something he loves.
- My Photography Equipment:
- Currently I am using a Canon T2i body, a Canon 18-55mm lens, a Canon 55-250mm lens, and a Tamron 60mm macro lens.

Debra Vanderlaan said… - Thanks Torrey! I used to adore macro photography but have not done much lately at all. I am always disappointed with what I get when I try it now. I think too that our weather is often way too windy and the insect or flower or whatever is going in and out of focus to the point of frustration. I need to try some flowers or something that is not moving out of the wind, perhaps on my porch, and then see what I can create. Lately, I am using my wide-angle almost exclusively for landscapes with a twist. I love looking for the unique perspective. Keep 'em coming! Celebrate life, Debra

- I just got notice from a show that we entered that was juried that 2 of my works were accepted. There were many photos submitted and a few only had 1 accepted but several had 3 or 4. I am noticing that with shows and such, most jurors tend to accept more artsy work and very little landscape work, unfortunately for me. Sometimes I feel that I need to change my style a bit but then we also do art shows, and you really need to think, What is going to look good on the wall behind someone's couch? ;) I guess in the end, you have to snap what pleases you and makes you happy. Photography is our passion and our way of finding peace and joy in our art. I have had the advice several times to do what makes you happy and to stay true to your art. So, I need to take that advice and just keep doing what I am doing. If others appreciate it, great! If not, oh well, at least I am enjoying it myself. I also think that as the months progress, so does our photographic work. When I look back on even just one year ago, I can see that I have evolved and have a better and better eye, as well as better editing skills. Let's plow on and see what the next months bring! BTW, I find that when I am feeling stale, viewing others' excellent work inspires me! Celebrate life, Debra

Thanks Torrey! Sometimes when we view our own work over and over, we get sick of it. I had that last night and felt like it was all crap. ;) I am developing my editing skills more and more and learning new stuff every day. Thanks for your kind words!
Celebrate life, Debra

DJK left a comment for Ron Bird"Hey Ron,
Saw your note in the friend request, but can't seem to find it again. I think it was along the lines of gear unique to night photography. A solid, stable tripod is critical. A remote shutter and a flashlight so that you can see in the…"
