Whichpersonalitytoday?'s photostream

12/10/2011 Really...I am looking for some inspiration around here but one, I live in a small town where I don't know hardly anyone so models are a little hard to come by and two, scenery? I live in Kansas...need I say more? I'll try to get a pic of our tree here sometime...

9/1/2011 I'm really trying to get myself to take some pics but when I do, it's really hard for me to get myself to put anything up since I see so many great pics out there and I don't think a lot of mine. Side note...you know that saying pics or it didn't happen? How about, EXIF data or you didn't take it? Would that catch on?


If I fave a pic of yours, I'm doing it for the original photographer and the model(s) in the shot. I've noticed WAY too many copies on different people's sites so if I fave the wrong one, I apologize. Sometimes it's difficult to tell who took what. To all you stealing someone else's work, you're just pathetic. I know my pics suck for the most part but at least they're mine and I'm here to learn and improve. Quit ripping off someone else's creativity and hard work. If you don't have anything original to say, then delete your account and keep your mouth shut...

Photography is just a hobby...if I add you or fav one of your photos, it means I think you have a gift for it...a gift that I don't seem to have. I surround myself with pics that I just don't seem to have the ability to take. Please take it as a compliment if I add one of your pics to my favs...I'm pretty damn picky when it comes to those. My tastes vary from time to time. I haven't uploaded anything in quite a while but I can't get out as much as I used to. Even when I do, I'm so critical of what I do take, that most of it never makes it to a saved pics folder on my computer, let alone to this site. Anyway, I'm just here to enjoy the view. There are so many great photographers and models out there...I just like to study them all to see if I can learn anything. Who knows...maybe I'll get better with time and practice, although practice is getting more and more limited...

Equipment used:

Nikon N90
Nikon D70
Sigma 28-70 D EX
Sigma 70-200 EX HSM APO
Sigma 50mm 1:2.8 DG Macro D
and a little Sigma 2x EX DG tele...
oh...and a few filters here and there and an ancient copy of Photoshop. Even if I could afford a new one, I don't use it enough to justify buying a new copy.

Not much to work with, but I'm trying. Hope you enjoy the pics and would appreciate any input...helpful or otherwise...on them that you think I could use. Thanks all!!!

Jim
