Hello,
I am Jacob. Currently, I am a 22 year old amateur photographer. I am continually learning more techniques of photography and trying to perfect a style that I like. I discovered that I liked the hobby of photography in 2008 when I took my first digital photography class in 7th grade. Since then I have taken a few more courses in photography throughout my high school years. Now that I have graduated, I am going to try to get a degree in audio engineering/production (my other favorite hobby).
I am glad that i found Flickr because it is such a wonderful website where people can view your photos and you can meet amazing people. I have met so many incredible individuals here and without them, I probably wouldn't be posting photos.
I particularly like to take pictures of nature, especially flowers... in case you haven't noticed. I find them to be very interesting works of art that are abundant where I live and come in many varieties. I also like to take landscape shots. (Unfortunately where I live there are no amazing landscapes, just cornfields.)
I use Photoshop elements 8, Windows Live Photo Gallery, and Photomatix (for HDR) to edit my pictures. However, I try to keep the photo as natural as possible so I do limit my processing.
Thanks for stopping by,
Jacob
