Howdy,

 

(Constructive criticism is welcome, but please leave ideas or tips )

 

I have always liked taking random shots, to catch the moment, or to share a memory. There is quite a lot of truth to the saying that a picture is worth a thousand words, and thousands of pictures are worth a lifetime.

 

I am currently completely new to photography, don't get me wrong I have taken pictures for many years but none of them of real quality, usually only with a sentimental or friendly value. Recently friends and family have told me that I should take photography as main hobby and better my self at it.

 

Previously I had only taken shots at Family events, home, gaming events, school events, and the occasional tourist location. But now that I am out of college and just working, I feel that I have a lot more time to really try to learn more about photography and attempt to take my shots to more than just something i grabbed "on the run, or rushed to take with no real thought"

 

Most of the photos on my profile are taken by me, except those of myself, which are usually a quick shot that I ask a friend to grab or that they sneak in without my knowledge.

  

Current equipment:

 

Bodies:

Iphone 4

Cannon PowerShot A1100IS

Canon EOS Rebel T2i

 

Lenses:

Canon EF 50mm f1.4 USM - Lens hood ES-71 II

 

Gear:

Lowpro Fastpack 350

Manfrotto - 60.6" Photo/Video Tripod

VidPro Gripster Flexible Compact Camera Tripod

Rocketfish - Canon - Remote Wireless Shutter Control

    

As I start to learn more about photography and how to take real shots you will start to see my photos with a newer Watermark of (neurotic-jl) and will be in the "new photography" section so that i can track what my photography looked like before, and after i started to learn.

 

Thanks for reading:)
