Stijn.'s photostream
|
Hi
I was a novice photographer with a very simple and "cheap" camera (sorry to my boyfriend who gave it to me). It's was a HP Photosmart M417. Despite the technical limits I tried to take nice pictures. In the beginning I tried to change them as little as possible after I 'd taken them. I always thought: if they failed, they failed. My best friend (Dailydog) however convinced me in trying to alter them if the result is much better. So now I do... If you want to get an idea of what I did with that little cam: www.youtube.com/watch?v=lRK8IIwaq24.
Comments are always very welcome!
Now I have a Canon Eos 40D. I still have to get to know it but I have some experienced Flikr friends who can give me advice and I hope to become a nice photographer.
By the way, I don't favorite ad random: I only favorite pictures I really like: they should be pictures I would have liked to have taken myself. There are in my favorites set a lot of pictures: that means there are a lot of great photographers on Flickr and if I favorite one of your pictures, you may consider it a big compliment!

"Not shy of indulging in vanity and using himself as his main object of study, Stijn turns out to be quite the artist. I told him from the beginning that he had the magical photographic eye. Winning him over to Flickr finally proves me right. I'm quite happy I found myself able to put the door ajar to let the talent out.
Stijntje,
I'm convinced that once you are done experimenting with self portraits, you will astonish us all. Let alone when we finally get you another camera :).
