I've been in love with photography for all my life. Several years ago I decided to study it more seriously. Since then I have broadened my horizons to include landscape and portrait photography with my beloved macro works. I enjoy experimenting with different photography methods and styles.
I welcome comments and critiques openly given that the criticizer encourages the same.
I hope you enjoy my photographs as much as I have enjoyed taking them.

    Wildlife & Nature Photography says:

    "Once upon a time I used to be Canon-Girl and as such I wrote a testimonial for Ade. Reading it again, I can see so clearly how right I was in what I wrote. I know many talented photographers, here on Flickr, and elswhere, but I don't know many who can shoot nature and wildlife so beautifully, with such an immense talent as Ade.

    I feel that the great Ansel Adams expressed better than I can what I'd like to say about Ade's images:

    "We don't make a photograph with just a camera. We bring to the act of photography all the books we have read, the movies we have seen, the music we have heard and the people we have loved."

    Ade, I am so glad you are here, and giving us a chance to share your world through your images.

    Thank you."

    Canon-Girl says:

    "For a long time I wanted to write a testimonial for one of the best macro photographers on this site. I was not lost for words. Quite the opposite. I simply had too many nice words to say about Ade's incredible and inspiring photography.

    Ade's love for nature is evident in each and every image. All of her photos are superbly taken with perfect exposure, composition and excellent use of light. What I love most about her images is that she leaves nature as it is. Untouched, without post-processing. But apart from being a most talented photographer, Ade is a very generous, giving, and one of the kindest and sweetest people I know.

    There is a saying that 'a picture is worth a thousand words'. And I say that Ade's pictures are priceless."

    "Ade's pictures are captivating and artistically appealing. One look at her photostream and you would see that she is a perfectionist and has a passion for photography. She is undoubtedly a macro expert. Her butterfly photos, reflection shots, flower macros and nature shots are simply amazing. Her photos never fail to amaze me!

    Not only is she a superb photographer, she's also a sweet person and a great friend. Her words are always polite, kind and encouraging.

    It's wonderful to have you as a friend, Ade. I wish you all the best for your future. :-)

    "If ever a photographer can be inspired by the photographs on Flickr, the photographs in question will belong to Adettara. Some people learn photography and some are born with an eye for great photography. This steam of photographs is by someone so inspired that the viewer gets transported into a different world after viewing the photographs....."

    "Ade’s photography is a true gem to view and all her shots are very captivating! I admire her work very much and it always leaves me inspired and amazed at the marvelous natural wonders that she captures so well. Her photos are always very colorful and her macros are truly outstanding. Her butterfly shots are gorgeous; her macro flowers are stunning, and her animal shots are superb. They immediately become a Fave for me. What I also like is that she comes up with great titles as well. There is so much that one can say about Ade’s fabulous work. Her work is inspirational and I am learning from her wonderful talent.

    In the short time that I have known Ade, she has become a great Flickr friend. She cares about her Flickr friends and contacts very much. She is always very supportive. She takes time to always come around and view my shots and to make lovely and encouraging comments. She is very sweet and caring!

    I know that Ade will go very far with this awesome ability that she has and I want to wish her all the best. She deserves it! I hope that we always remain great friends. I value your friendship Ade very much and all the care that you have for me! Thank you my great friend for being who you are and for always being so very lovely!

    Lots of love, hugs, and kisses
    Edna"
