Welcome to Gaia! ::

Hello,

My name is Ryan, I live in Texas, and I'm far too old.

I've been a photographer for something like 15 years now. I started with a Nikonus V doing underwater pictures, then inherited an Olympus, then a Nikon F4. I mostly did school paper kind of stuff, then moved on to the occasional local paper stringer job. I took a break for a couple of years, then picked up a Nikon D70s and started taking pictures at anime conventions. I'm currently doing event and wedding photography and a little bit of modeling and fetish work. Most times though, I'm just messing around and taking shots of whatever looks neat.

Current Cameras:

Nikon D70s
Nikon F5 - body only
Holga 120N

I've been doing photography for 3 years and I use a Cannon Rebel.
I really don't like digital cameras so all of my photos are 35mm film and actual prints.
My DA account is HiddenNightmare.DeviantArt.com
I'm looking for a scanner so I'll have more photos up soon.

ahhh 30D's are wonderful things arent they? Ive completely stolen the one my mother got for her birthday, im hoping for some of those fabulous lenses as well =]

Hello!

I'm Jennifer; Canadian; 17 (eighteen next month!). I discovered photography when I was 14, so according to my calculations, I have been interested in photography for 4 years.

I started digital (borrowed a REALLY crap digital point-and-shoot from my drama teacher), but learned to print my own shots two years ago when I took a photography class at my high school.

Since then, I have been focused mainly on Fashion, Portraiture, and FineArt photography. I shoot both film and digital (I have a Canon T70 and a Canon Digital Rebel XTi). I use Adobe Photoshop Elements 3.0 for Mac OSX, and a wacom tablet for post-processing.

Wowee this turned into a really long and tedious intro. sweatdrop

Hi, I'm Emily, I'm 15, and I can't say exactly how long I've been into photography. A few years, I suppose. I live in Illinios, out in the country, so pretty much all my stuff is nature-related, which unfornately some of you are probably tired of.... lol I hope the photos I post aren't too blah. I've had my moments of going camera-happy after a dry streak of nothing to take pictures of, so I'll try not be post-happy with them. mrgreen

I'll make a new topic with some samples of my stuff after this.

My DA is emmarosestrange.deviantart.com, but it's not just photos, so I've organized most of them into folders.

Hi there, I'm new so I thought I'd introduce myself.

I'm currently in high school and I want to be a cinematographer, [for those who don't know, that's the person running around the film sets actually filming, so basically it's photography of motion], so photography for me is important.

I've been entering photo contests since the first time I entered my first photo class, and managed to win first in county for this piece: http://piratepenguinfreak.deviantart.com/art/A-Single-Moment-77564969

I'd love to hear what everyone thinks of my work, from just hearing you like it to constructive critism.

You can find my work here: http://piratepenguinfreak.deviantart.com/

You can comment on the pictures on that site or here, whichever is easier for you.

Thank you ^.^
