I'm new to "photography" but have been snapping pics for quite some time. After realizing the difference between knowing what to do with a camera and just pushing the button I realized I've been missing out on a lot!
I have always admired those individuals that can take consistently good shots. I started with a Powershot S3 IS from my dad last December and found myself taking more and more shots trying to learn the techniques of good photography and being more consistent. It's hard and time consuming trying to "do-it-yourself" but also challenging and fun at the same time. Any comments and criticisms welcome to improve my shots.
Looking forward to learning from the people here..studying all of the magnificent shots and hopefully posting a few of my own.
I shot my friends wedding recently and had a great time. Would be interested in helping out as a second shooter if someone needs a hand and I'm available.
My equipment:
- Canon 40D
- Canon EF 17-40 f/4 L USM w/B+W UV Filter
- Canon EF 50mm f/1.4 USM w/B+W UV Filter
- Canon 70-200mm f/2.8 L IS USM w/B+W UV Filter
- Canon Speedlite 430EX
- Canon Battery Grip
- Induro AB0 Tripid (kit)
- Tiffen 77mm Circular Polarizer
- Hoya 58mm Circular Polarizer
- Cokin P-Series 121M, 121L and 121S (until I can afford some Singh-Ray filters)
Panasonic Lumix FS5
Hope to get in the near future:
- Shutter release
- EF 24-105 f/4L IS USM or 24-70mm f/2.8L USM...decisions, decisions
- CyberSync wireless transmitter and receiver

I am so glad I have had the opportunity to meet Tim, (aka El Vaquero), and enjoy his photographic talent. I am fortunate to consider Tim a Flickr friend who is thoughtfully sincere and generous with his encouraging comments. Tim’s photos are fun to look at; and, they are varied and full of surprises (such as his lovely collection of RATTTLESNAKES). Tim was one of my first contacts, and it has been my pleasure to share his brilliant photographic adventures. Tim, and people like him, make Flickr fun and less stressful… and, how can you not love a guy with an icon like Tim’s (opps! Hope he doesn’t change it!). Yeah, you can FEEL THE LOVE here. jenny August 30, 2008

I look forward eagerly each day for the photographs he selects for his stream because they give me such pleasure. Today, for example, he made my day with his coyote and I realised it was high time I wrote him a testimonial. Monica
