Photographs:
I allways try not to use software to correct my pictures, depending the tipe of photograph, i make the treatment, but allways to correct some minor problems, like, in a landscape, i usualy ad contrast.
I dont use exagerated colors, i allways try to have them the colse to reality as i can, i make that changing the camera setings.
But, my rule is, to put the pictures as close as the original immage.

My perfered subject is portrait, i dont have too mucth here on flickr, because i want to preserve the identity of the "models", but i take photos to almost everything and enjoy doing it.

Im not a professional, I'm a amateur photographer, has you can see on my pics, but i like very mutch to take photos, and when i'm doing it, i'm not disturbing anyone.
