you are so humble.

I got the best vibe from this. you are just so sweet about the way you explain things. And while I love your sooc shots, I know what you mean, I lean on my post processing a lot. I try to get the main things like light (since i can’t recover lost details with my only jpeg files) and composition. I figure that’s okay, since I am still learning ;)

You made me feel a lot better. I know it sounds, cheesy but I really look up to you. In the sense that I admire your photography and the way you approach each photo. I think it’s magical.

PS
I love the flower and the little miss muffet, good stuff!

Composition is about 90% of the battle, I think! I wish I had better composition skills! In terms of the post-processing, it all has to do with what you want the picture to look like. Your sooc of your Little Miss Muffet is gorgeous! But your vision created the second shot-cool! Stick with your photography, enjoy it, don’t feel pressured. But don’t hesitate to take on some “assignments” every now and then, because you’re awesome!

Your talent for producing gorgeous photos is amazing. Does it really matter what kind of camera you’re using?

The camera questions is starting to kill me! When I wasn’t good at taking a compliment, I’d say “I’ve got a good camera & cute kids.” But then I started really playing with the camera, Photoshop, & taking ALOT of pictures. And the camera question now irritates me to no end. Ask my husband to take a picture & it looks like crap. And it’s the same camera. I stopped thanking my kids & camera, when a Photo major said, “No. Some people can take a picture & some can’t”. I still give credit to the camera, but I think it’s because I still feel like I really don’t know what I’m doing. Oh well. It’s captured & that’s what counts.

Well, even if your photos aren’t perfect sooc – you have a gift for putting a photo together and quite a nack with processing… they are fabulous!

Honesty! I love it! I always say I am on the journey from amateur to advanced amateur because while I am pretty good with my camera, I am not really doing it for the money. Even when I get paid, it still was just too much fun to me, to consider it a profession :)

I love your honesty. I had the request to go pro while I was still learning. I am still learning and don’t ever think I’ll stop learning. Nor should we when we really find we are passionate about something. Scientists never do. :) And when I say I was still learning, meaning I may have just turned Manual for about 7 months… LOL!

And like you, I delete a lot of photos. They just don’t turn out or look the way I wanted them too, or the lighting is WAY wrong, or the composition is WAY off. And the more I shoot the Less off I am, but I don’t think I am anywhere near getting a perfect SOOC. :)

And I love that you get the beautiful images you do from a non-Canon or non-Nikon…. That just goes to show you it doesn’t matter what camera you use, it’s all in the artist behind it.

And as for the record, there is nothing wrong with a Canon Rebel. Some of us just work well with what we got. :)

You are amazing. Honest and truthful. Your photographs are incredible because of your vision. Your creativity and the style that is all your own. THAT is what makes you awesome and worth watching. Not the type of camera you have or even your SOOC shots. Because your creations have that magic ingredient that cannot be taught.

keli…i LOVE your photgraphy, you know that! ;)

it’s not about the camera to make good pictures. it’s not even the good/better/whatever equipment that make the better pictures.

it’s YOU and your EYE that sees the beauty in the moment /object!

and YOU got this “kind of EYE” that goes straight to my heart!

xo…
