I'm not an art student, I've hardly taken an art class, and I've never had training as a photographer yet I found myself to have a natural talent for photography even when I was a kid. It was only last year when I realized that I wanted to try to be a photographer. Last summer I interned at Muir Woods National Monument near San Francisco, and everyday I roved the trails and I often carried a camera with me. It wasn't long till I was building a collection of amazing photographs of the trees, the flowers, and the amazing animals living there. If you were to ask the Park Rangers about me they would tell you that I have a knack for finding animals difficult to find and getting good quality pictures of them. After that I continued taking nature pictures around Oregon where I study and gained more experience with a camera. And now I'm dedicated to showing my work and proving myself as a nature photographer.

Yeah I checked out yours and you've got some pretty decent pictures. I love the Pug pictures, I just love Pugs, they're ugly but they're funny and they love to play

Hello Daug, thank you very much for the fav on 'autumn solitaty'. For this one I used Lensbaby Optic, which creates the impression of a motion. Did you have a look on photoshop?

No problem, I enjoy your pictures

I haven't looked at photoshop yet but I could probably try the media software that I already have to see if I can create the same effects like in your pictures.

How have you been doing?

What software did you get with your camera? I had photostudio 5.5 with my Canon, do you have the same?

My camera is a Panasonic Lumix DMC FZ28 and it came with the applications PHOTOfunSTUDIO, Media Impression, and Panorama Maker 4

I used Media Impression for my digital editing

Hey thank you for asking, I'm doing alright.

I've been kept busy with studying for my oral exam which I need to take to get my degree in Biology and there's a lot I need to go over.

Also I've been spending time looking for a job relevant to my area of study once I graduate but there's not too much out there at the moment.

Other than that I can't complain, thanks for asking. Hope all is well with you.
