Brenda-Starr's photostream

CollectionsSetsGalleriesTagsPeopleArchivesFavoritesProfile

I first picked up an SLR just over a year ago (April2005) having no clue as to what to do with it. .... Since then hopefully I've learned a little, I'm always trying to improve on what I did last. ... As you would notice I have a great love for floral photography, some may say this is to easy but I truly enjoy trying different ways to bring out their design and beauty.

I value all the friendships I have made here at flickr, you are all extraordinary people with amazing talent and I learn from you every day. xxx

Chrisser says:

"Brenda certainly has a lot of talent with her photography, and is doing an excellent job as an adminstrator of groups she does have admin duties. I really enjoy it when she or any of the other admins of Flower Themes picks any of my photos for weekly Admin Faves. And I have posted some of her photos to my Favorites list and as Admin Faves in Flower Close-Ups, the most popular group I am an admin of."

"Brenda is an amazing photographer. Whatever she decides to point her camera at becomes yet another magnificent creation to the eye - especially her floral shots and macro. I'm honoured to be included as one of her contacts and look forward to enjoying many, many more of her wonderful photos. :o)"

"I've been meaning to write a testimonial about Brenda for some time but I've been too distracted looking at her photographs. Brenda has an amazing talent for creating work with great colour, contrast and finely controlled depth of field. I always look forward to seeing her latest work."

"Brenda beyond a photographer dedicated, is a sensitive woman that worships the alive beings, she knows to stand out the soul of the nature. She is a constant support, a valuable woman that always knows to grasp the messages among lines that have the photos. Thanks by your friendship Brenda.
Hugs!!!

AJK Photography says:

"Brenda-Starr has quickly become one of my flickr favourites due to the quality of her photos. She also gives us a good taste of Australia.

She's an inspiration and I can only hope to be as good as her one day."

Studio E says:

"Brenda has grown so much as a photographer in just a short time by being willing to try new things and go out on a limb from time to time. Her floral photos are exquisite as are her landscapes. She shows us the best of the Australian bush in her images. Not only is she an excellent photographer, she is a fine person who I consider to be a friend."
