Hello everyone :-)


Helminadia. Get yours at bighugelabs.com/flickr


I was born in Flores, an Island in the Eastern Provinces of Indonesia,now based in Qatar.
not a professional photographer, just a girl with a camera.

I'm still on a journey, learning all of the way and still trying to define my own style, so for the time being there's going to be a bit of a mixture, please bare with me and it'll come.

I have enjoy and learn so much from my Fellow photographer and their photographs here in flickr !

Thanks to everyone who takes the time to comment on my shots. Your comments, good or bad, are very much appreciated.

Regards
Helminadia

    "Nadia ia an extremely nice person and one of the very best landscape photographers whose work I've ever been priviledged to view. She has been everywhere - and her camera has too - she's photographed it all! And to the luck of everyone on flickr, she has generously shared it with us. I always look forward to her postings on flickr. Would love to meet her someday so I could see her in action!"

    I like her style really.
    The pictures are just amazing. If there are some great photos then every one that she made by sunrise or sunset are great!

    Hope to enjoy more of them and stay in contact with her.


    GER
    Ich mag den Stile von ihr sehr.
    Die Bilder sind einfach fantastisch. Wenn es ein tolles Bild gibt, dann sind es alle die, die Sie bei Sonnenaufgang oder -untergang gemacht hat.

    Ich hoffe weitere tolle Bilder zu sehen und bleibe mit Ihr im Kontakt."

    Keep up this tremendous work, friend. Sky is not your limit, only you can set your limit anywhere you want :-)"

    "Nadia... is a very lovely friend I met in Facebook. She's the one who inspired me with all her amazing Macro Flower Shot!.

    Not only skilful in Phototaking... she is also a funny & helpful person. You know guys... she was the lady who explained me what is "Bokeh" meaning.... at the beginning :-)) (inget ga Nad? :-)).

    I have learned a lot through all her day by day pictures, especially Flowers :-).

    If her photostream like a chocholate... it is the FINEST... pure excellent taste of every bites!..
    So when you visit Nadia Photostream.. You'd better "watch-out".. be ready to get addicted guys... :-)

    Nadia... thank you very much for all your contributions here...
    Your presence means so much to me and to other Flickr member I'm sure.

    Keep up the excellent work dear.. We love You!!

    Warmest hugs from Germany ~Winnie~"

    Nadia, you have a very special talent.......not in taking photographs, but seeing the shot and transforming it in to a photograph. It's a very special talent and a rare one, but Nadia, you most definitely have it and you will go from strength to strength.
    I truly admire your work, you are an inspiration to us all!"

    "Strange that I did not write about Nadia before, but here it comes. One of the best photographers here on Flickr, a true lover of photography who in her modesty actually gets more comments than most of us do from other photography lovers. And justly since she produces excellent pictures especially on nature/macro, creativity, pure photography which suits this site.
    Apart from that she is a nice and good person, always in for a laugh and entertaining in a positive way.
    ---------------------------------------
    Nadia adalah salah satu fotografer terbaik di site kita ini, selalu mengeluarkan foto2 yang indah dan penuh kesenian. Satu dari anggot Flickr yang betul2 berhak memiliki tempatnya disini sebagai fotografer asli yang tujuannya ingin membagi hobby besarnya fotografi dengan teman2nya."

    "I have two of what I would call "favorite" photographers on flickr.com, and Helminadia is one of them. I look forward daily to seeing her new photos and always make sure that I am ready for work a bit early so I can check for something beautiful before I leave my house. And her photographs always are beautiful and well thought out. Of course we all love her flower shots! But something else I like about Helminadia is that she takes the time to look at my new photos and comment. I am just a raw amateur with minimum skills so she is very kind to visit my photostream, especially since she must be very busy. I would love to meet her but being half a world apart I will settle for meeting her here on flickr.com where I can enjoy her photographs so much. Thank you Helminadia."

    "The photographies of Helminadia seem to be touched by the magical varita of a Fairy Godmother... are smooth, sweet, tender, with elegance and feminine SENSITIVITY. They are for the calmness, the meditation and the spiritual rest. I feel relaxed when I contemplate them.

    Las fotografías de Helminadia parecen estar tocadas por la varita mágica de un Hada Madrina ... son suaves, dulces, tiernas, con elegancia y SENSIBILIDAD femenina. Son para el sosiego, la meditación y el reposo espiritual. Me siento relajado cuando las contemplo.
