I joined Fine Art America a couple of days ago and have also opened a Facebook page today. In honor of these steps and the New Year, I am offering a limited # of discount coupons. Please check me out on Facebook and like my page. You can also go to Fine Art America by hitting My Website link here or go to the "Shop" link on my Facebook page. Thank you.

I shoot using a Sony A55, just recently bought Lightroom 3 and PSE 10...learning those now so I can post some shots.

I have been experimenting with Long Exposure, both night and day, with some degree of success. For daytime LE I use a B+W ND 3.0 10 stop filter.

Most of my shooting is of landscape or architectural elements but I am looking at branching out to portraits as well. The contacts that I have saved are people that I look to for inspiration because of their work.

***Update 11/23/12: I decided to go Pro today due to getting close to 200 shots and wanting to put some of my shots in more groups. Hopefully I won't anger anyone when I place shots that have been on Flickr for a while into a new group!

I have also begun experimenting with texture layers, but HAVE NOT moved away from the original shots. I like to include the original and the "altered" version, whether textured or HDR as often as possible.
