view profile

Welcome to the third weekly Meet and Greet Challenge where we can get to know some more about one of the members of the Challenge Group Game.

This time we are heading out of the USA and to Europe to meet Stukinha.

Voting on her 7 photos will be open for 48 hours and the one with the most votes after that time will be given a special award.

If you have the time take a look at her excellent photostream and leave some comments.

INTRODUCING......

Flickr name: Stukinha

Name/Nickname: Ana Compadre

When did you upload your first picture on Flickr: July 1, 2006

Where do you live: Portugal (Braga, during the week, studying; Guimarães, at the weekend, in my parents home)

What fills your day: I spent most of my time, studying, and assisting the classes, of my degree in Biological Engineering at University of Minho. I spend my free time, with with my boyfriend, my friends, on the Internet (specially Flickr), and since last November, two days per week, I'm enroled in a photography course.

Hobbies: photography, traveling, reading, cinema, Internet...

What camera(s) do you use: Usually, I use my sister's camera, a Sony Cyber-shot DSC-V1.

What will be the next camera you buy: I am waiting, anxiously, to be able to buy my own digital camera. But beyond the monetary problem, I have a dilemma, between buying a compact camera (to point & shot), or a "more professional" larger camera, but not so mobile.

Favorite subject/s to shoot: Flowers, unknown people, landscapes, the sea, children... And all those small beautiful things, that I see, and capture, to save and show them to the world! =)

I know its going to be tough, but a link to your own one favorite
shot:
Maybe this one:
flickr.com/photos/stukinha/458199445/
It was taken four years ago (in Praia de Mira, Portugal), when I
photograph only with my old analogue camera (a Fujifilm SP-2000).

Please give us the link, if you have an album of your own favorite
shots:
I don't have a favourites album.

Another tough one, but a link to your favourite shot by someone else that you have faved!: Really hard! This is one of my favourites:
flickr.com/photos/emmanuel_smague/1586489146/

This is me!
Me, three years ago.
Looking the sea, thinking in my life...

What I'm impressed about is Ana's range... she shoots portraits, landscapes, nature, humor -- all exceedingly well.

Hard to choose between simple beauty or telling a story. I choose 7 - great exposure and a great capture of moments in time.

This is a nice selection, with No.4 really standing out; a well-captured forbidding screne.
