Helen Beresford's photostream
|
I have always enjoyed taking photos but with the purchase of my first digital camera (Canon Powershot A95) my interest in photography grew. Moved onto an A720IS, and it was a fantastic point and shoot. Now I've invested in a Canon EOS 40D and I'm loving photography more than ever! The stunning images I see daily on Flickr never cease to amaze and inspire me and I've found a lot of fantastic contacts and friends along the way :-)

"Helen - where else can I start, except with -
WHAT A MAGIC PHOTOGRAPHER!
Helen's photostream is a smorgasbord of fabulously taken, composed and presented images.
One of the things that sets Helen apart from the rest of us ( besides her immense skills..) is the passion and feeling that you get from her images, not only does she catch such candid moments of her subjects, but you can feel the pleasure she has taking them, it shines through in her images
Then as a further bonus you get those great titles,and cheeky little comments. :-)
I can unashamedly confess that I have used Helen's pictures as a guide to hopefully taking better pictures, studying her techniques and captures.
Logging on to Flickr and seeing a new "Beresford" in your contacts list is like when your favourite artist releases a new CD. You just give a little squeal and delve in full of anticipation; and you are never disappointed.
Helen is a great Flickr friend who gives great comments ( love those cheeky ones).. thank you Helen - keep it up!!"19th December, 2009

"Helen owes me a mouse!
Her photos are so incredibly well shot that so many people comment on them that by the time I come along to add a comment I have to scroll down through everyone else's comments before I even see the box to add my own comment - this has worn out my mouse!
Seriously, Helen is such a talented photographer, her exposure, focus, framing, everything, is all superb.
The bottom line is that I have the same camera and I will never again be able to blame my camera for a poor shot when I know it is capable of the photography that is on Helen's stream."12th December, 2009

Mojo 2005 (John Nanartowicz)(Coming & Going) says:
"Helen is a friend and a talented photographer. Her images are spirited and creative, and she explores her world through her camera’s lens with a youthful exuberance that translates into stunningly memorable images. I am exceptionally fortunate to have come across her work, and I happily return to her photo stream time and again to witness her growth as both a photographer and as an artist.
Helen, thank you for sharing your talent and your inspiration.
Best Regards,
John"24th August, 2009

"If you read all the other testimonials and looked at her photostream you will already know that Helen is a super-talented photographer. Her photographs are inspirational, and full of personality. She is also a wonderful contact - always within the first few to comment on new posts, and not only that, she always has a smiley face ;0) ."

"Wow, it's been so long since we've been contacts and friends on Flickr I sort of assumed I'd written one of these but no... my bad! H - your photos really are wonderful and you are getting better and better. Nothing is a problem for you, animals, nature, landscape, macro... all superb. I love your humour and that comes across in your shots - especially the animal photos - you always capture the perfect expression or action! :) Keep the photos coming and next time you go to Chester Zoo we must meet up! xxx"

CrazyNotion (Lost In Asia) says:
"Inspiring? You bet. You could say that I am addicted to Helen's work ever since I discovered her photo stream. Helen's work is full of life and vibrancy, something that I find most appealing. They say that imitation is the sincerest form of flattery and I am not ashamed to be the first to admit that I often tried to imitate Helen's style.
Thanks Helen for sharing your work with us and for all your encouragements.
Sincerely,
Ben"9th June, 2009

"Well I couldn't help but add to Helen's testimonial list. I haven't been a contact of Helen's long, but already finding I am eager and pleased to view her work and see her wonderful photographs on my screen.
She is honest and chirpy and keen to comment on other people's work which is always appreciated.
There's a noticeable journey of improvement through her stream and she has an obvious love for animals which is reflected admirably in her work. If I could summarise Helen's stream it would be "A Reflection of Beauty" and it is a joy to behold.
I am always amazed at the rush of comments upon release of a photograph from Helen, which just goes to show that she is not only a good photographer, but is well liked by a strong group of like minded friends.
Well done Helen, I am honoured to be part of your group and look forward to more intersting and skilled photography from a very talented and admirable friend."18th February, 2009

"A truly prolific member of flickr I find Helens comments all over the place. Perhaps we just have the same good taste in photos ;)
Helen takes such a variety of shots and I always look forward to seeing them along with her comments on other members images and the warm and humour with which she writes. A valued contact and flickr friend :)))"18th January, 2009

"I've waded through Helen's stream without my shoes and socks because it's such a wonderful place to be. Her photography reflects a brilliant and artistic mind and a warm and gentle heart. You will enjoy your time spent reviewing her work."

"Whatever comes in front of Helen's lens turns into a wonderful photograph. She has an amazing talent to find the perfect angle in just about everything she shoots & she shoots everything. Take a moment to browse through her stunning photostream & you will find wildlife, landscapes, nature, still life all photographed brilliantly. This is one talented photographer!
Santa was kind to Helen recently & bought her a new camera (Canon 40D...drool) & she has produced some wonderful shots already so I think we are in for a treat with her work in the future.
I also love Helen's comments, they are witty & cheeky as well as encouraging & make me think she is a fun person to have around.
Keep those super pics coming Helen, I love everyone one of them!"4th January, 2009

"♥Jess may be amazed that she is the first to write a testimonial for Helen, but I am honoured to write the second.
Helen and I have never met and, probably, never will, yet I sense in here a kindred spirit. There are so many superb shots on her photostream that to award "Favourites" to any seems, somehow, to diminish the many others that deserve praise -- so I've given up and have to content myself with a testimonial instead.
I look forward to seeing more of your work, Helen."27th December, 2008

"Helen is an inspiration......from wild life to landscapes, all with professional processing!!! Amazed I'm the first to write a testimonial!"
