Kodak Dig & GIMP (scaling & sig & post work) I think I'm going to write like Zacko for this one.. This image isn't the greatest but I think it really makes a "milestone" for me. I love photography. Really do.. Always have. But I never picked up a camera for a a fear of failing. Failing that my pictures wouldn't look good. Fear that people would be watching me take these pictures and I don't want the attention. Really.. just lots and lots of fear. Since October last year my life has been interesting with a relationship that I ended up ending... and it was messy. I really started to pity myself and in an attempt to change that I figured I should use the digital camera that I bought in the July. So I did. All the pictures as you can tell from my gallery are landscape shots... because a fear of shooting a horrible picture of people or anything else really.. and really how can you go wrong with landscape. So I was walking along taking photos of landscape and starting taking pictures at this fence and there was this guy, I have forgotten his name so he is now, Bull Dog, and he was eating dinner and watching the sun go down. So here I am, blocking his view so I can take pictures. I end up talking with him and get the nerve to ask if I can take some shots with him in it. He says yes, I start shooting.. and he's still eating.. and here I am asking him to move from bench to bench.. and taking more shots.. Poor guy..and sadly, this seems to be the best shot! Thanks Bull Dog for being so awesome and willing! Ok done talking! Comments and jazz welcome! Nicole
