Kimarie Chartier here- 43. I live in Canyon Country /Newhall area , Southern California. I have always been an artist . I started drawing at age two. My Mother said when I was a child I always had something to draw with in hand and I would cry when the paper ran out (LOL) ..I went to art school for a short while and have taught art to elementry school kids. I have done many oil paintings , pastels and watercolors , but recently , have been intrigued with digital photography and computer photo art in paint shop pro. now, I mainly work in Paint shop pro 7 and 11. I now also just beginning to work in ADobe photoshop cs2 ! I also am a full time Mom with three girls ( who are all over my gallery) Annie 16, Janel 13, and Christina 10. Between my parenting, photoshoots, Renderosity and playing in paint shop/ photoshop I keep very busy ! I also have a sweet, loving cocker spaniel named Candi who is very needy of much love and attention lol She goes with me on photoshoots-oh- 'cept when I am shooting birds haha cause she is a bird hunter by nature!!
 I LOVE any kind of art .like to draw and paint with basically anything I can get my hands on (LOL)!
I have fallen in love with photography
opening up light and dark and seeing the limitless possiblities! But I do still love to paint too!!  Works like Nightfears , came from nothing but my immagination -drawing/ painting with only a mouse paint and smudge tools from a blank page in paintshop 7. I started out with a Nikon 7900 pocket cam and am at the moment working in photography..now also have two other canon pocket cams a sl900
and sx 100is - mainly all my work in my gallery is done with my little pocket cams - they go with me everywhere and is an an extention of my right hand!! I have a canon rebel as well but it isnt working all that great so manly using the pocket cams for now . Learning..growing and sharing on here is the best!! I don't know what I would do without this site it has helped me learn so much..( this site motivates me so much ) I love it here ! yeah so I got the photography bug ..and I also love to do photo art...!! I, every now and then I will do a painting or a smudging as I call it.( you can see most of my smudge painting works hand done with a mouse on the first two pages of my gallery!!)

So beautiful ! Very well done !

I think the timing was perfect - that aspect is mostly a matter of taste. Some people like the water more blurred (what I call the milkshake effect) than others. What makes the difference here is your vision and talent. The attention to details like dof and composition, lighting and balance. All are superb, and the photo is magnificent!

for a bog standard basic digital cam l fine this shot amazing, hard to believe this is your first.. shot of a water fall... did you use a tripod .. it puts a prosumer and dlsr to shame... what settings did you use... woww this is so good you should send it to the kodak website.. enter it for image of the month, lm sure they would love to see the quality the cam can perform at.... sublime work :)
maggiemai

Well, this seems quite promising to me, if you succeed shooting these falls like this with a simple cam, what will happen when you have a top-cam!? :) Excellent work!

Great capture! Use a tripod and leave your shutter open a few seconds to create the milk.

Happy birthday Kimarie! For the first shot this is an excellent take of the waterfall. Wish I could have such a result with my first pictures of anything. :)
