jenny downing's photostream
|
Having fought against switching from the purity of film, via a little Canon P&S to what I use now, a fancy-schmancy EOS 50D 5D Mark ii, I am well and truly converted. The freedom to take a hundred photos when in the past I would have waited for the 'perfect' shot and perhaps have pressed the shutter only once or twice, has been liberating - not to mention a severe drain on my hard drive.
With my photos, what you see is what you get; I peer at the world with one eye closed or with head on one side; I see bokeh sparkles in the bottom of my wineglass.....but that might just be an alcoholic haze!
My photos are usually sooc. I do not 'Photoshop' (far too complicated!); instead I crop using Picasa - and occasionally sharpen or adjust the contrast.
I hope you like what you see; I am my own most severe critic (well apart from my grumpy husband!) but I welcome your comments! I am happy for you to use my images (according to my Creative Commons licence of course) but would appreciate being told.
