Why I joined Flickr: My main objective is to share photos with family and friends overseas in the most convenient way.

 

Overview: It made me hesitant at first; I thought "PRO" was meant for professional photographers only. I’m just an enthusiast! However, after leafing with my "mouse" through the members’ pages, my attitude towards photography changed. Their photos are so inspiring and make me want to learn more and produce some hopefully.

 

My cameras: A compact digital Olympus M720 SW and a Nikon D90 with VR 18-200mm lens. I aspired for a CANON EOS 5D Mk II, but it’s far above my budget + too much too soon for me, as a beginner. Familiarity on same brand smoothens learning process. However, painful though to change to a Nikon I must, to broaden my photography to the next level.

I’m willing to do the hard work as well as focus on knowing the concepts of photography.

 

Wish I could have these: The right camera & lenses, skill & experience, inspiration, the knob to control the whim of mother nature & to be young again.

It was Letty who introduced me to Flickr, which has brought me a great deal of joy and she continues to support and encourage my photography. Letty is a kind hearted and loyal person who always looks for the good in everyone and in every situation. She has taught me that there's always another way of viewing things; and that it is possible to find the silver lining inside even the blackest cloud. Letty is my inspiration. She has both the wisdom of an old soul and the laughter of giddy youth. Her sense of fun and humour is infectious and when we get together we enjoy a good chuckle. Laughter really is the best medicine! In life and her photography Letty has an eye for the natural beauty and the goodness in things. She has impeccable taste in all areas and carries herself with grace and poise. She's just one of those people who lights up the room when she enters it! When I met her I knew that I'd have a friend for life. Almost forgot, she sings like a bird too! ............. X RobbieB
